Hydration is Key to Preventing Kidney Issues
Proper hydration plays a critical role in preventing acute kidney injury (AKI), particularly in hospital settings. Medical professionals often face uncertainty regarding the management of patients at risk for kidney issues but may hesitate to consult nephrology unless there's a clear kidney injury present. It is generally accepted that if patients do not develop AKI initially, they are unlikely to experience it later, reinforcing the importance of maintaining adequate hydration levels to safeguard kidney health.
