Abstract:
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequent and can lead to serious complications. It is classified according to the degree of renal function impairment and classically divided into three categories: pre-renal, intrinsic and post-renal. Identification of risk factors and wise use of additional tests are crucial to the diagnosis, as there are numerous causes of AKI. Identification and specific treatment of the underlying mechanism are essential, all while protecting the kidney. Resorting to a nephrologist is systematic when there are red flags. Follow-up after resolution of AKI is important as the risk of developing a chronic kidney disease is increased.
