Researchers asked 145 Canadian nephrologists about the factors that influence their likelihood to recommend follow-up for patients after a hospitalization with AKI. These responses were then compared with rates of community follow-up with nephrologists for patients hospitalized with AKI in Alberta between 2005 and 2014. Their results revealed that only 24% of patients that were recommended a follow-up saw a specialist within a year of hospitalization. Follow-ups were less common in patients over 80 years old, and more common among patients with chronic kidney disease.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Authors:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Divya J.
