UK Renal Registry - AKI Lab Alerts Dataset

The dataset contains patient-level data for adults and children who trigger a laboratory e-alert for an acute kidney injury (AKI) in primary or secondary care in England. The data are collected monthly and include patient identifiable information, and limited socio-demographic and clinical data. Data collection began in 2015 and by 2022, 98% of the 192 laboratories in England submitted data that could be used in the UKRR annual AKI report that was published in Dec 2023. Each year the UKRR collects data on about 500,000 people with a suspected AKI in England - this includes more than 1.5 million AKI e-alerts. This data collection is mandated by NHS England and alerts are generated by an algorithm embedded in the laboratory information management systems.
