About Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)

Acute Kidney Injury—also known as acute renal failure—is a sudden decline in kidney function that occurs over hours to days. It can result from dehydration, infections, medications, or critical illnesses. At Paras Hospital, Ranchi, we specialize in early diagnosis, intensive management, and supportive therapies for AKI across all age groups.

Causes of Acute Kidney Injury

AKI is categorized into prerenal, intrinsic, and postrenal causes. Common risk factors include:

  • Severe dehydration or blood loss

  • Sepsis or systemic infections

  • Use of nephrotoxic drugs (NSAIDs, antibiotics, etc.)

  • Kidney trauma or obstruction

  • Complications after major surgery or ICU stay

  • Pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD)

Symptoms of AKI

Recognizing early signs of acute kidney failure is critical. Symptoms may include:

  • Decreased urine output

  • Swelling in legs, feet, or face

  • Nausea, vomiting, or poor appetite

  • Fatigue and weakness

  • Confusion or difficulty concentrating

  • Breathlessness (due to fluid overload)

  • Irregular heartbeat from electrolyte imbalance

AKI Diagnosis at Paras Hospital, Ranchi

Our nephrologists use a combination of clinical assessments and lab tests to detect AKI early:

  • Serum creatinine and BUN levels

  • Electrolyte panel (potassium, sodium)

  • Urine output monitoring

  • Kidney ultrasound to check obstruction or size

  • Urinalysis and urinary sediment

  • Fractional excretion of sodium (FeNa) for cause identification

Acute Kidney Injury Treatment Options

We offer evidence-based treatment plans depending on the underlying cause, AKI stage, and patient condition:

Fluid Management

  • IV fluids to treat dehydration-related prerenal AKI

  • Fluid restriction in fluid overload cases

Medication Review & Adjustment

  • Discontinuation of nephrotoxic drugs

  • Use of diuretics for controlled fluid removal

Dialysis Support (If Required)

  • Initiated in cases of severe fluid retention, acidosis, or rising creatinine

  • Performed safely in ICU under expert supervision

Electrolyte & Acid-Base Correction

  • IV therapies to manage hyperkalemia, acidosis, or low sodium levels

Treatment of Underlying Causes

  • Management of infections, heart failure, urinary blockages, or sepsis

Who Should Seek AKI Treatment?

Immediate evaluation is advised if you:

  • Notice reduced urine output or unexplained swelling

  • Recently had surgery or serious infection
