Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a rapid reduction in kidney function that takes place over the course of hours or even days, and the prevalence of this condition is concerning. In fact, AKI occurs in approximately 15 percent of patients who are admitted to the hospital, with rates of AKI often surpassing 50 percent in patients receiving intensive care.

That’s why this discussion focuses on the urgent need to raise awareness of AKI, as well as its global burden on patients and healthcare systems and ways to improve the care of patients at risk for the disease.
