Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), previously known as acute renal failure, is a sudden episode of kidney failure or kidney damage that happens within a few hours or a few days. It causes waste products to build up in your blood and makes it hard for your kidneys to keep the right balance of fluid in your body. 

Types of Acute Kidney Injury

Prerenal AKI

Caused by inadequate blood flow to the kidneys (e.g., severe dehydration, heart failure, or sepsis).

Intrinsic (Intrarenal) AKI

Direct damage to the kidneys themselves by inflammation, toxins, drugs, infection, or reduced blood supply.

Postrenal AKI

Caused by an obstruction in the urinary tract below the kidneys (e.g., enlarged prostate, kidney stones, or tumors).
