Jenana Maker and William Dager
PDF8 pages200 KB
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined by an abrupt reduction in kidney function, often assessed through serum creatinine and urine output. The KDIGO criteria are utilized for diagnosing and staging AKI, which can lead to chronic kidney disease if not managed properly. The chapter emphasizes the importance of supportive care and monitoring in the treatment of AKI, including pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic strategies. It also highlights the need for individualized pharmacotherapy based on the patient's renal function and medication properties.
