Outpatient Recovery From Acute Kidney Injury Requiring Dialysis - 2

Measuring residual kidney function at the time of hospital discharge by timed urine collection (6-24 hours in duration), transmitting the results (urine volume, urea clearance, and creatinine clearance) to the accepting nephrologist and to the patient, along with information on recommended recovery monitoring frequency and criteria for consideration of a twice-weekly hemodialysis schedule.

The same timed urine collection will be collected at the time of hospital discharge as in the intervention arm, but in the control arm the results will not be transmitted to the accepting nephrologist or to the patient and no information on recommended recovery monitoring frequency and criteria for consideration of a twice-weekly hemodialysis schedule will be transmitted. Instead, the research team will call the accepting nephrologist to alert them that this is an AKI-D patient that is being followed by the research team for recovery for up to 60 days.
