AKI in CKD

What are the clinical indicators / criteria for AKI in a patient with CKD stage 3? 

Thank you.

We use the same indicators that we would use for patients without CKD.

We use the KDIGO criteria for all patients. The patient's baseline SCr is usually well known to them and/or their MD's so it makes it fairly easy to see if they've had an AKI,

Our guideline is that the creatinine would be =/> than 1.5 the baseline for AKI regardless of the CKD stage

If a prospective measurement is done or if baseline is known from the history, you do not have to use 1.5x Baseline as the lowest measured sCR per the 2012 guidelines.
