Details: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a condition that affects millions of people around the world. It occurs when the kidneys suddenly stop working properly and can range from minor loss of kidney function to complete kidney failure. AKI usually happens as a complication of another serious illness, and is not the result of a physical blow to the kidneys as the name might suggest. It is essential that AKI is detected early and treated promptly (NHS.uk).
This book is a practical resource for clinicians, researchers and trainees, providing the latest evidence-based practices and insights into the epidemiology, pathophysiology and management of AKI.
Divided into 12 chapters, the text begins with an overview of AKI and its occurrence in special situations. The following chapters examine different management techniques, providing clear explanations on the various aspects, concepts and controversies.
Each chapter includes a ‘points to remember’ section for quick review of key information.
A section featuring multiple choice questions (MCQs) for self-assessment concludes this informative manual.
