Sepsis-Associated Acute Kidney Injury

Sepsis-Associated Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) occurs when the body experiences a severe infection leading to widespread inflammation and organ dysfunction, including the kidneys. In critical care settings, this condition is concerning because it can worsen the patient’s overall health and complicate recovery. The kidneys struggle to filter waste and manage fluids, which can lead to imbalance in the body. Early detection and treatment are crucial, and interventions may include medications, dialysis, and managing the underlying infection to protect kidney function and improve patient outcomes.
