Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs when the kidneys suddenly stop working properly. It can be caused by various factors:
- Reduced Blood Flow: Conditions like severe dehydration, heart failure, or a sudden drop in blood pressure can reduce blood flow to the kidneys.
- Direct Kidney Damage: Certain medications, toxins, or infections can harm kidney tissues.
- Obstruction: Blockages in the urinary tract, such as kidney stones or tumors, can prevent urine from leaving the kidneys.
- Severe Infections: Serious infections can cause systemic inflammation, affecting kidney function.
Recognizing and treating the cause promptly is crucial for preventing long-term kidney damage.
