Diagnosis of CKD is largely based on [[medical history|history]], [[physical examination|examination]], and [[urine dipstick]] combined with the measurement of the serum [[creatinine]] level (see above). Differentiating CKD from [[acute kidney injury]] (AKI) is important because AKI can be reversible. One diagnostic clue that helps differentiate CKD from AKI is a gradual rise in serum creatinine (over several months or years) as opposed to a sudden increase in the serum creatinine (several days to weeks). In many people with CKD, previous kidney disease or other underlying diseases are already known. A significant number present with CKD of unknown cause.</div>FuzzyBot
