Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex disorder that encompasses a broad spectrum of clinical presentations ranging from subclinical injury to complete loss of kidney function. AKI is fairly common in critically ill patients. Among patients who have similar conditions, those who have development of AKI have worse outcomes than those who do not. There have been significant strides in understanding the pathophysiology of AKI in recent years, but management is mostly supportive, and prevention remains critical for improving outcomes.
