Welcome to the website of the London Acute Kidney Injury Network.
Acute kidney injury (AKI), previously known as acute renal failure, is a sudden loss of kidney function. AKI is strongly associated with mortality, increased lengths of stay, chronic morbidity and increased healthcare costs.
The London Acute Kidney Injury Network
The London Acute Kidney Injury Network is a collaboration of healthcare professionals and organisations based in and around the capital. Our goal is equitable, high-quality AKI prevention and care in London. We aim to achieve this through the collaborative delivery of AKI pathways supported by education, audit, innovation and research.
Please use the website to learn more about AKI, the network and its objectives. Access the Clinical pages to view guidelines, referral pathways, AKI manual and our Toolkit for implementing our initiatives in your hospital. Download our iphone/ipod application for mobile access to clinical guidelines and referral information. Visit the Academy pages to access our educational resources and find out about upcoming teaching events. View our Audit and Research pages to find out about active network projects. Finally, if you are an AKI survivor, please visit our patient support page or contact us for further information.
