About

Providing additional information to patients with acute kidney injury who continue dialysis after hospital discharge and to the accepting kidney doctor (nephrologist) who manages their dialysis may be feasible and beneficial. This study will pilot measuring the patient's residual kidney function at the time of discharge and communicating that result to the accepting nephrologist and the patient, along with information on recommended recovery monitoring frequency and criteria for consideration of a twice-weekly hemodialysis schedule.
