sudden loss of kidney function causing waste build-up in blood

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), also known as Acute Renal Failure, is a sudden episode of kidney failure or kidney damage that happens within a few hours or days. It causes a build-up of waste products in the blood and makes it hard for the kidneys to maintain the right balance of fluids in the body. AKI can be caused by factors such as severe infections, dehydration, or exposure to certain medications, and it often requires immediate medical attention to prevent long-term kidney damage.
