differentiate between acute vs chronic kidney failure

With AKI, an aggressive diagnostic plan is recommended to uncover any ongoing process that requires a specific treatment in addition to supportive therapy. AKI frequently requires aggressive treatment in the hospital, whereas CKD may be treated on an outpatient basis in many cases. Although cure is impossible with CKD, long-term survival (i.e. years) is possible in many patients. Patients with acute-on-chronic disease may require aggressive treatment in the hospital but will have residual CKD requiring some degree of long-term management.
