Acute kidney damage occurs when the kidneys stop filtering waste materials from the blood. Kidney failure has an impact on bodily fluids, electrolytes, and acid-base balance. Prerenal, postrenal, and intrinsic failures can contribute to acute kidney damage. Hemodialysis and continuous renal replacement therapy may be used depending on the degree of the injury. The goal of treatment is to improve kidney function rather than totally cure the kidney.
Fluid resuscitation, avoidance of nephrotoxic medicines and contrast media exposure, and correction of electrolyte imbalances are all part of the treatment for acute kidney injury.
The majority of persons with Acute Kidney Injury Treatment recover completely, but some develop chronic renal disease or long-term kidney failure as a result. Dialysis, in which a machine filters the blood to remove toxic waste, extra salt, and water, may be required in severe cases.
