Presenter: Tom Calabro, MSN, RN

Acute kidney injury is a frequent and complex clinical problem across acute and critical care settings. In practice, decreased urinary output is often the point at which concern is first raised yet this finding frequently reflects a later stage of kidney injury rather than its earliest onset. Earlier physiologic changes may be present well before traditional triggers prompt clinical action.

Join us as we review current definitions, staging criteria, and risk factors for acute kidney injury, along with recent advances in AKI monitoring and management. We will examine how real-time urinary output and physiologic data can support earlier recognition, strengthen clinical judgment, and inform timely intervention at the bedside.

We will also explore emerging CMS priorities related to AKI, including how early detection, monitoring, and documentation affect quality metrics and patient outcomes. The content is designed to support your clinical reasoning, improve escalation decisions, and help align daily practice with evolving standards of care.
