Thousands of people suffer from acute kidney damage (AKI), a dangerous medical illness. Reduced blood supply to the kidneys, usually in a patient who is ill with a medical condition, is the primary cause of AKI in the majority of instances. Severe dehydration from significant vomiting or diarrhoea, decreased blood volume after bleeding, or both may be to blame for the lowered blood flow. Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) who develop AKI have higher rates of morbidity and mortality, longer stays in hospitals and ICUs, and higher expenses, particularly if they need renal replacement treatment.

Choosing Manipal Hospitals

A multidisciplinary approach is necessary for the difficult diagnosis and treatment of AKI, paving the way for the relatively new field of critical care nephrology (CCN).
