Acute kidney injury (AKI) is what?
Acute renal failure (ARF), commonly referred to as acute kidney injury (AKI), is a brief period of kidney damage or failure that lasts a few hours to a few days. AKI makes it difficult for your kidneys to maintain the proper balance of fluid in your body and leads to a buildup of waste products in your blood. Other organs like the brain, heart, and lungs may also be impacted by AKI. Patients in hospitals, intensive care units, and older persons in particular frequently get acute renal injury.
