Relative Differences in Scope of AKI Cared and Coded for by Provider Type. The pyramid on the left represents the full burden of AKI seen by non-nephrologists with the relative prevalences of mild, moderate-severe, and dialysis-requiring AKI indicated by shading. In contrast, while nephrologists are more likely to code for less severe AKI, they will encounter a more select population of AKI patients favored by highly severe stages.
