LOW-FLOW ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY
Bruce A. Molitoris
PDF202211 pages2.0 MB
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a heterogeneous syndrome characterized by a rapid decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), leading to significant morbidity and mortality. This review focuses on three specific etiologies of AKI: kidney hypoperfusion, abdominal compartment syndrome, and urinary tract obstruction. Each of these conditions presents unique pathophysiological mechanisms but shares common outcomes, such as low urine flow and sodium levels. The document underscores the critical nature of early diagnosis and intervention to reverse functional AKI before it progresses to structural damage.
