Acute kidney injury explained

Acute kidney injury, known as AKI, is surprisingly common, especially among people in hospital.

It happens when the kidneys stop working properly, often because of a change in blood flow due to surgery or an infection. If the kidneys do not recover quickly, it can turn into a chronic condition. Therefore, physicians would like better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat AKI.

In this animation, we explain how risk algorithms, research into biomarkers and new drugs offer hope to patients and physicians.

Im 28 with an AKI 😮‍💨 drug and alcohol use, high blood pressure, and malnutrition will do it. We'll see if recovery is possible...

I just got out of the hospital yesterday because of a small acute kidney injury,
To be honest, i jist needed water and food.
⚠️Mentions of needles, hospitilization and throw up. ⚠️

Im 15, i went to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned, my feral when it comes to dentist appointments so they gave me seddation.

Seddation sickness is supposed to last 2 hours max, this lasted days though. And it wasnt the first time.

See, about 6-8 months before i went to the dentist and had the same thing happen, i got dehydrated because i refused to drink. I didnt even talk. I didnt go to the hospital but if this happens again, im sure im never going to that dentist place again, as this is the 2nd time.

So yea i got my teeth cleaned and stuff, went under seddation, got my teeth cleaned, they gave me 'nausea' medicine. The next day i basically threw up my organs.(it hurt sm and i threw up sm help)

On thursday(2 days after, 1 before doctor's visit), i looked skinnier then ever. My chest hurt and i felt i was going to die. I could barely walk, or even function. The next day at the doctor's, they couldnt find a pulse, so i went to the hospital. They found a small pulse, i had yo be hospitalized for a few days, i had a x-ray showing a small kidney injury, as well as the smallest liver injury. Probably smaller then a pinkies finger nail.

I had 2 ivs(IVs? IV? Iv? Idk!) In my hand and arm. It made my stay even harder but i was still able to function. I got 3 liters(i think?) Of water in me every 1 hour, yesterday they reduced it to 2 to see how i would do. I did fine and at 4:36 i got discharged. Im now basically fully normal(even tho i got discharged yesterday!). I can walk pretty good(sometimes stumbles, almost falls, and stuff but mostly good), can eat, drink, kind of talk, and stuff like that. Dont have many pains either: my hand and arm(wherr the IVs were) kind of hurt sometimes, but thats only when i like put a bit of pressure and stuff, or bend my arm.

Im fine now!(other then the small pains)

THIS ALL HAPPENED BECAUSE OF A DENTOST APPOINTMENT BTW.

Blood and urine . By the way, I have difficulty communicating because I had a stroke in Broca’s area, the part of the brain that controls speech. 2/8/2021 but I lived again. (My wife helped me compose this.)

heres a wild idea. It just happaned to me. Fluid overload from hospitalizations. I was in the hospital for a week for a bacterial infection.. when i was discharged I started developing severe swelling in my feet/ankles/legs so I was given Lasix. I took the lasix for 4 days until the swelling stopped. My infection was back so I went back to the ER and was hospitalized again, this time for sepsis and acute kidney failure. I have never had KF before this this was a first.
