What is Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)?
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a sudden decline in kidney function, which can result from various factors, including infections, medications, dehydration, or underlying health conditions. If left untreated, AKI can lead to permanent kidney damage. Early detection and intervention are crucial in preventing long-term kidney issues.
