Causes of Acute Kidney Injury
Diminished Blood Flow to the Kidneys Conditions
like dehydration, significant blood loss, heart
failure, or shock can impede blood flow to the
kidneys, leading to AKI Kidney Damage Direct
harm to the kidneys, be it from infections,
urinary tract blockages, or certain medications,
can precipitate AKI.

Severe Infections Severe infections such as
sepsis can trigger inflammation throughout the
body, including in the kidneys, causing AKI.
Autoimmune Disorders Certain autoimmune
conditions, such as lupus nephritis or
vasculitis, can inflict damage on the kidneys,
culminating in AKI.

Acute Kidney Injury is a critical condition
demanding immediate attention. Recognizing the
causes, promptly diagnosing AKI, and
implementing appropriate treatment strategies
are pivotal for a favorable outcome. Early
