Equation is not reliable in the cases of AKI (Acute Kidney Injury). Consultation with a Nephrologist is always recommended. No diagnosis should be made just on the basis of a medical calculator. Other clinical clues are to be taken into account (Urinalysis, UACR(Urine Albumin to Creatinine Ratio) etc.) diff --git a/docs/transplantation/IMPACT.md b/docs/transplantation/IMPACT.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e69de29
