**The point scores for serum creatinine are doubled if [[ARF_(APACHE)]] is checked (which would be if [[Kidney, acute renal failure NOS]] is present). Note that even relatively small rises in serum creatinine are associated with higher rates of death for ICU patients, as indicated in [https://doi.org/10.1164/rccm.201311-2097OC Small Acute Increases in Serum Creatinine Are Associated with Decreased Long-Term Survival in the Critically Ill] | **The point scores for serum creatinine are doubled if [[ARF_(APACHE)]] is checked (which would be if [[Kidney, acute renal failure NOS]] is present).
