Study Notes
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
- An acute decline in renal function causing difficulties in properly excreting waste (BUN & SCr) and maintaining acid-base balance
- Characterized by a rapid decrease in kidney function, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), over a short period (hours, days, or weeks)
- Usually associated with an accumulation of waste products and fluid
- Represents renal insufficiency with abnormal biochemical values and altered homeostasis
- Can lead to fluid overload and persistent acid-base abnormalities resulting in electrolyte imbalances
