Patients who develop AKI can be oliguric or nonoliguric, can have a rapid or slow rise in creatinine levels, and may have qualitative differences in urine solute concentrations and cellular content. (Approximately 50-60% of all causes of AKI are nonoliguric.) This lack of a uniform clinical presentation reflects the variable nature of the injury.

Classifying AKI as oliguric or nonoliguric on the basis of daily urine excretion has prognostic value. Oliguria is defined as a daily urine volume of less than 400 mL and has a worse prognosis.

Anuria is defined as a urine output of less than 100 mL/day and, if abrupt in onset, suggests bilateral obstruction or catastrophic injury to both kidneys.

Stratification of renal injury along these lines helps in diagnosis and decision-making (eg, timing of dialysis) and can be an important criterion for patient response to therapy.

Pigmented, muddy brown, granular casts are visible in the urine sediment of a patient with acute tubular necrosis (400x magnification).
Photomicrograph of a renal biopsy specimen shows renal medulla, which is composed mainly of renal tubules. Features suggesting acute tubular necrosis are the patchy or diffuse denudation of the renal tubular cells with loss of brush border (blue arrows); flattening of the renal tubular cells due to tubular dilation (orange arrows); intratubular cast formation (yellow arrows); and sloughing of cells, which is responsible for the formation of granular casts (red arrow). Finally, intratubular obstruction due to the denuded epithelium and cellular debris is evident (green arrow); note that the denuded tubular epithelial cells clump together because of rearrangement of intercellular adhesion molecules.
