Acute Kidney Injury:Recognise,reverse and rescue

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a rapid decline in kidney function, often characterized by an increase in serum creatinine or a decrease in urine output. The key principles of managing AKI are “Recognize, Reverse, and Rescue.” Recognition involves early detection using clinical signs, laboratory tests, and monitoring of kidney function. Reversal focuses on addressing the underlying cause of AKI, whether it be dehydration, infection, or medication-related injury, and correcting it promptly. Rescue aims to prevent further kidney damage.
