Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring dialysis is an important health care burdenand is associated with very high in-hospital mortality. As no specific treatment is available toreverse AKI, the management remains supportive, including optimized fluid, electrolyte andacid-base balance, adjusting the dose of potentially nephrotoxic medications or avoidingsecondary haemodynamic and nephrotoxic kidney injury with timely initiation of dialysis.Timely initiation of dialysis in AKI is fundamental to achieve treatment goals and to providesolute clearance and removal of excess fluid while awaiting recovery of kidney function.
