Approach to Acute Kidney Injury

Acute kidney injury involves a sudden decline in kidney function, shown by a rise in serum creatinine level with or without reduced urine output, ranging from mild to severe and sometimes necessitating renal replacement therapy. Diagnostic evaluation categorizes this injury as prerenal, intrinsic renal, or postrenal, with initial workup including a patient history to identify potential causes like nephrotoxic medications or systemic illnesses impacting kidney function.
