We evaluated the incidence of acute kidney injury and compared the ability of the maximum RIFLE and of the maximum AKIN within intensive care unit hospitalization in predicting inhospital mortality of critically ill patients.

Chronic kidney disease patients undergoing dialysis or renal transplant patients were excluded from the analysis. Results In total 662 patients mean age years 392 .
