DYSPEPSIA Defined:

Dyspepsia is defined as chronic or recurrent pain or discomfort centered in the upper abdomen. Discomfort is defined as a subjective negative feeling that is nonpainful, and can incorporate a variety of symptoms including early satiety or upper abdominal fullness. Patients presenting with predominant or frequent (more than once a week) heartburn or acid regurgitation should be considered to have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) until proven otherwise.

NEPHROCHEK:

The FDA has approved the marketing of NephroCheck, a first-of-its-kind laboratory test to identify whether critically ill patients are likely to develop moderate to severe acute kidney injury (AKI). The test is able to identify the likely risk of kidney injury within 12 hours by detecting insulin-like growth-factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP-2) in the urine.

Renal Failure: In RIFLE, failure is defined as a three-fold increase of serum creatinine or decrease in GFR of >75% or a urine output of <0.3 ml/kg per h for >24 h or anuria for >12 h. Alternatively, failure also is defined by a serum creatinine of >4 mg/dl (353.6 μmol/L) with an acute rise of 0.5 mg/dl (42.2 μmol/L). http://m.cjasn.asnjournals.org/content/1/6/1314.full

Risk Criteria of Acute Kidney Injusy:
Risk is defined as an increase of serum creatinine with 50% corresponding to a decrease in GFR, relative to baseline, of >25% or a urine output of <0.5 ml/kg per h for >6 h. Recently, the definition of risk was expanded to include an absolute increase in serum creatinine of 0.3 mg/dl (26.5 μmol/L) or more.
