Sir/Madam:
The measure specified in the eCQM for hospital harms acute kidney injury is for serum creatinine to measure kidney function. It does not mention alternatives to serum creatinine such as urine output or creatinine as measured in the urine in order to assess kidney function.
Are these alternatives acceptable proxies for serum creatinine levels?
Thank you.
