Acute Kidney Disease

Acute Kidney Disease refers to the abrupt loss of the kidneys’ ability to filter waste products and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance. This leads to a buildup of toxins in the blood and can affect multiple organs.

Symptoms of Acute Kidney Disease

Symptoms may appear suddenly and include:

Reduced urine output

Swelling in legs, ankles, or face

Fatigue and weakness

Nausea and vomiting

Shortness of breath

Confusion

Chest pain (in severe cases)

In some cases, AKI may not show obvious symptoms and is detected through blood tests.
