At MRKC, Visakhapatnam, nephrologist Dr. Goli Sri Charan Nivas evaluates acute kidney injury and follows patients during recovery. Severe AKI needs hospital admission — we will guide you to the right hospital when needed.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a sudden fall in kidney function over hours to days. Creatinine rises and urine output may fall. Common causes in our region include severe dehydration from vomiting or diarrhoea, dengue, malaria, leptospirosis and other infections, painkillers, some antibiotics, contrast dye for scans, snake bite and blockage of urine flow.
Many patients recover fully if the cause is treated early. Some need temporary dialysis. After AKI, kidney function should be checked for months because some people develop long-term kidney disease.
Do not wait for your next appointment. For an emergency, go to the nearest hospital.
Not every patient needs every test. The doctor chooses tests based on your symptoms and old reports.
Decide whether care can be outpatient or needs hospital admission.
Fluids, stopping harmful medicines, treating infection or blockage.
Arranged at a hospital when potassium, fluid or toxins are dangerous.
Creatinine checks at 1, 3 and 12 months.
