Previous data suggest rapid growth in the population incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI). In this study, Kashani et al. report data from the Mayo Clinic Hospital indicating slowing to stabilization of AKI rates in Olmsted County, Minnesota, from 2006 through 2014. More studies are needed to confirm this trend, and if this trend exists, reasons behind it. Further, strategies to optimally care for vulnerable populations in which AKI rates remain high, including the elderly, are warranted.
先前的数据表明，急性肾损伤（AKI）的人群发病率正在迅速增长。在这项研究中，Kashani 等人报告了来自明尼苏达州奥姆斯特德县梅奥诊所的数据，表明 2006 年至 2014 年 AKI 发病率的增长速度已经放缓至稳定。需要更多的研究来证实这一趋势，如果这一趋势确实存在，还需要研究其背后的原因。此外，还需要制定策略来为 AKI 发病率仍然较高的脆弱人群（包括老年人）提供最佳护理。
