Hundreds of thousands of microscopic units in your kidneys (known as nephrons) filter waste and toxins from your blood, producing urine that flows into your bladder. However, if this kidney function is compromised, several serious complications can arise, and Acute kidney injury or AKI is one of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mortality rate of AKI is alarmingly high when left untreated. However, if you receive a diagnosis and proper treatment for the underlying cause, you can effectively safeguard yourself from this condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_AKI\"><\/span><b>What is AKI?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AKI, or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/diseases\/acute-kidney-injury\"><b>Acute kidney injury<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is a sudden and rapid decrease in kidney function to eliminate wastes and toxins from your blood. The primary function of your kidneys is elimination. When this vital function is compromised, kidneys lose their capacity to filter blood. This results in a sudden increase in serum creatinine levels and a drop in urine output. It also causes electrolytes and waste material to collect in your body, which can be life-threatening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AKI can be classified into three stages based on the severity of kidney damage: stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3. This ailment can arise due to various factors, such as dehydration, severe infection, medication toxicity, or a rapid reduction in the flow of blood to the kidneys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diagnosing and treating acute renal injury promptly is important to prevent further damage and improve outcomes. Addressing the underlying cause, managing symptoms, and providing supportive care are all part of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/diseases\/acute-kidney-injury\"><b>acute kidney injury treatment<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, your proactive role in closely monitoring renal function and following up with healthcare providers can make a substantial difference in addressing acute renal injury. Remember, your timely action can prevent complications and improve patient prognosis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Symptoms\"><\/span><b>Symptoms:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The majority of cases of AKI occur in patients who are already hospitalised and in a critical state.

There are rarely any signs until the disease has advanced to a late stage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the most common acute <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/diseases\/acute-kidney-injury\"><b>kidney injury symptoms <\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fatigue and weakness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decreased urination<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swollen feet, ankles, or legs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vomiting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breathlessness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chest discomfort or tightness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seizures or unconsciousness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduced appetite<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irregular heartbeat<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metallic taste in the mouth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easy bruising<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discomfort between ribs and hips<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mental confusion or mood swings<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Causes\"><\/span><b>Causes:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AKI may happen due to various factors, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Severe dehydration<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renal damage from toxins or specific medications<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Autoimmune disorders like acute nephritic syndrome and interstitial nephritis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urinary tract blockage<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your renals are at risk when there is a decrease in blood flow.
