ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY: TRENDS IN INCIDENCE, RISK FACTORS, AND SURVIVAL RATES

Abstract

Introduction: Critical situation Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) causes abrupt renal function reduction and increases morbidity, death, and healthcare expenses. After medical advances, AKI remains a clinical problem that requires a thorough understanding of its epidemiology, risk factors, and therapy.
Objectives: This study seeks to analyze AKI incidence trends, identify risk factors, evaluate survival rates, and evaluate preventive interventions and care techniques. We study these features to improve AKI prevention, early detection, and management.
Result Analysis: AKI incidence trends show a steady rise, especially in hospitalized and ICU patients. Sepsis, pre-existing chronic diseases, and advanced age are major AKI risk factors. AKI severity affects survival rates, emphasizing early intervention. AKI burden can be reduced by avoiding nephrotoxic drugs and recognizing sepsis early. Novel biomarkers and therapies may improve AKI management and outcomes.
Conclusion: Acute Kidney Injury is a major clinical and public health issue that requires improved prevention, detection, and management. AKI epidemiology, risk factors, and management must be better understood to reduce its impact on patient outcomes and healthcare expenses. Preventive strategies and innovative therapies may improve AKI management and reduce morbidity and mortality.
