- Change in the serum creatinine level [ Time Frame: at 96 hours of admission ]serum creatinine
- change in weight [ Time Frame: at 96 hours of admission ]The weight will be measured in kilograms
- Time of intravenous administration of diuretics [ Time Frame: at 1 month ]Length of time of intravenous administration of diuretics in days
- severity of acute kidney injury during hospitalisation [ Time Frame: at 1 month ]Acute kidney injury requiring interruption of treatment
- Severe Hypokaliemia [ Time Frame: at month ]Severe hypokalaemia means hypokalaemia that requiring interruption of treatment, dialysis or transfer in intensive care.
