Understanding Etiologies and Management of Acute Kidney Injury

Acute Kidney Injury is common, complicated and holds significant morbidity and mortality. But...if we recognise it, we can make a real difference to our patients' outcomes.

In this episode we run through the anatomy, physiology and aetiologies.

We have a think about the multitude of definitions of AKI and then take each of the pre renal, renal and post renal categories and think about the ways we can optimise our care in each.

We also have a think about who needs to be admitted and who can be safely managed in the community.

This was a hugely valuable episode for us all to research and bring clarity to a complicated topic, we hope it does the same for you too!

Once again we’d love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom!
