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, Srinagar, we specialize in early diagnosis, intensive management, and supportive therapies for AKI across all age groups.
