Acute Kidney Injury
Acute Kidney Injury, or AKI, is a sudden and rapid decline in kidney function. It can happen for many reasons, including severe infections, dehydration, certain medications, major surgery, or as a complication of another serious illness. AKI requires prompt evaluation and treatment to prevent permanent kidney damage.
