(2) In patients who are initiated on dialysis serum creatinine is of no use. Since it gets removed by dialysis‚ it cannot be used. (3) Numerous clinical trials have identified that serum creatinine varies with age/ race/ body mass etc. (15) Various classifications have been made to quantify the severity of AKI.
