The pathophysiology of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) involves various factors that can damage the kidneys, such as reduced blood flow due to severe illness, infections like sepsis, or complications from surgeries. These conditions can lead to inflammation and cellular damage within the kidney tissues, impairing their ability to filter waste products and maintain fluid balance in the body.
Long-term effects of AKI can include an increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD), where the kidneys gradually lose their function over time. Patients who experience AKI in the ICU may also face higher risks of cardiovascular problems, such as heart disease or stroke. Monitoring kidney function after AKI is crucial to detect any signs of ongoing damage and manage the patient's overall health effectively.
