Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4

Acute kidney injury is commonly reversible, where chronic kidney disease is not
Chronic kidney disease will progress to kidney failure with time, where acute kidney injury may not
Acute kidney injury and chronic kidney injury are both most often caused by hypertension and diabetes
