Renal Failure
Pathogenesis
AKI is a sudden decline in kidney function over
hours to days and is often reversible if treated promptly. It is classified into three categories
Prerenal AKI (Decreased Blood Flow to the Kidneys)
Caused by hypovolemia (e.g., hemorrhage, dehydration), decreased cardiac output (e.g., heart failure), or systemic vasodilation (e.g., sepsis).
Intrinsic AKI (Direct Kidney Damage)
Causes include ischemic injury, nephrotoxic drugs (e.g., NSAIDs, aminoglycosides), infections, and autoimmune diseases
CKD is a progressive, irreversible decline in kidney function over months to years.
It is primarily caused by diabetes mellitus, hypertension.

incidence/prevalence
AKI affects approximately 13–18% of hospitalized patients worldwide, with rates as high as 50% in critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs).
The global prevalence of AKI varies but is estimated to be 5–10% in community settings and much higher in hospitalized populations.
