Abstract

Acute kidney injury is associated with major inpatient morbidity and mortality, reflecting the severity of the causal illness and the high frequency of complications. AKI complicates nearly 5% of the hospital admissions and up to 30% of ICU admissions. In most of the cases it is potentially reversible, if recognized early and managed appropriately at a right time. The present study to analyze the clinical profile of acute kidney injury in intensive care unit.
