Abstract
AbstractAcute kidney Injury (AKI) is diagnosed by elevated creatinine or decreased diuresis which represent a drop-in glomerular flow rate. Severity of injury is given by KDIGO 2012 criteria. There are three etiological frameworks: urinary tract obstruction, pre-renal causes and intra-renal causes. Intra-renal causes can be vascular, glomerular, interstitial or tubular injuries. Certain consequences of AKI need to be treated with renal replacement therapy.
