What is Acute Kidney Injury?
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a sudden decline in kidney function that occurs over hours to days, leading to the accumulation of waste products and fluid imbalance in the body. AKI is a medical emergency and requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent permanent kidney damage.
