Acute Kidney Injury
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), also known as acute renal failure (ARF), is a condition characterized by azotemia that progresses over several hours or days, with or without oliguria. AKI is commonly defined as an abrupt decline in renal function, clinically manifesting as a reversible acute increase in nitrogen waste products measured by blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine levels over the course of hours to weeks. The disease leads to an abrupt loss of kidney function, leading to the retention of waste products, electrolyte disturbances, and volume status changes.
