Summary
Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral illness, poses a global health risk. This review examines dengue-associated acute kidney injury (AKI), its frequency, causes, and treatment.
Area of Science:
- Infectious Diseases
- Nephrology
- Public Health
Background:
- Dengue virus infection is a significant global public health concern, primarily transmitted by mosquitoes.
- Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe complication of dengue, with its exact incidence and impact not fully understood.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review epidemiological and clinical data on dengue.
- To assess the frequency, causes, outcomes, and treatment of dengue-associated AKI.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of epidemiological studies.
- Analysis of clinical case reports and series.
- Synthesis of evidence on dengue-associated AKI.
Main Results:
- Dengue is a major cause of viral illness worldwide.
- AKI is a serious complication of dengue, but its incidence remains unclear.
- Evidence on the etiopathogenesis, outcomes, and treatment of dengue-associated AKI needs further evaluation.
Conclusions:
- Dengue-associated AKI is a critical but understudied complication.
- Further research is needed to understand and manage dengue-related kidney injury effectively.

1.2K
Introduction:Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) describes a swift decrease in kidney function occurring over hours to days, characterized by the kidneys' failure to remove waste products from the bloodstream. This leads to dangerous complications like metabolic acidosis, fluid overload, and electrolyte imbalances, such as hyperkalemia, which can cause life-threatening arrhythmias. AKI is common in both hospital and outpatient settings, often triggered by dehydration, sepsis, or exposure to nephrotoxic...

1.9K
Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes are categorized into three primary categories based on the location of the injury: prerenal, intrarenal (or intrinsic), and postrenal causes. This classification guides clinical management and illustrates how different pathways can impair kidney function.Etiology and Pathophysiology of Acute Kidney Injury1. Prerenal causesEtiology: Prerenal Acute Kidney Injury, the most common type, occurs when reduced blood flow to the kidneys decreases filtration capacity...

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) progresses through distinct clinical phases: the oliguric, diuretic, and recovery phases, each marked by unique manifestations and challenges.Oliguric Phase:The oliguric phase is the initial stage of AKI, typically lasting 10 to 14 days. This phase is marked by a significant reduction in urine output, usually less than 400 mL per day, indicating decreased kidney function. Fluid retention is a prominent feature, leading to symptoms such as edema, hypertension, and...

Accurate diagnosis and effective prevention are critical in managing Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), which is linked to high mortality rates ranging from 10% to 80%. Timely recognition of at-risk patients and careful monitoring can significantly reduce the likelihood of kidney damage.Diagnostic Assessments:The diagnostic process starts with a comprehensive medical history to identify prerenal, intrarenal, and postrenal causes.Prerenal causes, such as dehydration, hypotension, or blood loss, should...

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requires a collaborative healthcare approach to restore renal function and prevent complications. Essential management strategies involve monitoring fluid and electrolyte balance, adjusting medications, initiating dialysis when necessary, and providing nutritional support.Fluid and Electrolyte ManagementFluid Monitoring: Regularly monitoring body weight, central venous pressure, and urine output helps detect fluid imbalances early. Patient intake and output are...

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) results in an inability to maintain fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. Effective nursing management is critical in improving patient outcomes and includes comprehensive patient assessment and targeted interventions.Comprehensive Patient AssessmentA detailed history collection is essential, focusing on any recent infections, nephrotoxic medication use, or chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes that may contribute to AKI. During the physical...
