Heres a simplified breakdown for clinical practice Definition Sudden renal function Serum creatinine & blood urea Often urine output (oliguria) Classification of AKI Pre-Renal (Most Common) Renal perfusion Hypovolemia (dehydration, bleeding) Heart failure Drugs (NSAIDs, ACE inhibitors) Intrinsic (Renal) Kidney tissue damage Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) Glomerulonephritis Interstitial nephritis Post-Renal Obstruction to urine flow Stones Tumors Prostatic enlargement Pathophysiology (Simplified) Renal blood flow GFR Waste accumulation Fluid overload + Electrolyte imbalance Clinical Features Oliguria / Anuria Nausea, vomiting Fatigue Altered sensorium Fluid overload Edema, pulmonary edema Phases of AKI (ATN) 1 Oliguric Phase Low urine, hyperkalemia, overload 2 Maintenance Phase Low GFR, abnormal labs 3 Diuretic Phase Polyuria, dehydration risk Key Investigations Creatinine & urea Electrolytes Hyperkalemia, acidosis Urine casts help identify cause Ultrasound / Doppler if needed Management Priorities Treat underlying cause Optimize fluid balance (IV fluids / diuretics) Correct electrolytes & acidosis Avoid nephrotoxic drugs Dialysis Indications (Emergency) Refractory hyperkalemia Severe metabolic acidosis Pulmonary edema Uremic complications (encephalopathy, pericarditis) Nursing Insight: Close monitoring of urine output, creatinine trends, and electrolytes is crucial
