Understanding Acute Kidney Injury (AKI):

Acute Kidney Injury, also known as acute renal failure, refers to a sudden and rapid decline in kidney function. AKI can occur within a short period, ranging from a few hours to a few days, and requires immediate medical attention. It is often characterized by a decrease in urine output, accumulation of waste products in the blood, and electrolyte imbalances.

Causes and Risk Factors of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI):

AKI can be caused by various factors, including:

• Decreased blood flow to the kidneys: 

Conditions such as severe dehydration, low blood pressure, heart failure, or shock can lead to decreased blood flow to the kidneys, impairing their function.

• Kidney damage: 

Direct damage to the kidneys can result from conditions such as infections, kidney stones, urinary tract obstructions, or certain medications.

• Toxins and Medications: 

Certain medications, toxins, and contrast agents used in medical procedures can damage the kidneys and cause AKI.

• Severe Infections: 

Serious infections, such as sepsis, can lead to AKI by affecting the blood flow and causing inflammation in the kidneys.

• Pre-existing Health Conditions: 

Individuals with underlying health conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or chronic kidney disease, are at a higher risk of developing AKI.

 – Advanced Age: Older adults are more susceptible to AKI due to age-related changes in kidney function.
