    Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of hospitalization, leading to longer stays, higher costs, and increased mortality.

  • 2

    A randomized trial evaluated whether early nephrology consultation based on AI risk scores could reduce AKI incidence among at-risk hospitalized patients.

  • 3

    The trial found that early nephrology consultation did not improve outcomes such as peak serum creatinine or incident AKI.

  • 4

    Recommendations from early consultations were often not followed, highlighting challenges in implementing preventive nephrology care.

  • 5

    Future AKI prevention strategies should focus on actionable interventions and integrating risk identification into clinical workflows.
