Description
Acute kidney injury (AKI) previously known as 'acute renal failure' is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, duration of hospital stay and increased health care costs (Stewart et al., 2009). Sadly, despite the advancements in technology treatment, AKI still has an unacceptable high mortality and morbidity rate. Changing patient demographics has resulted in an increased prevalence of AKI, especially the increasing numbers of older adults with cardiac disease and diabetes (Yaklin, 2011). Most health care professionals will encounter AKI which is a complex and challenging disorder to manage. AKI is encountered in varied and diverse settings, which pose challenges for clinical teams who may lack the skills and knowledge to manage AKI appropriately. From emergency units to general ward settings through to theatres and critical care units, AKI is encountered. The central role of renal nurses in identifying those at risk is pivotal. Managing haemodynamics and fluid status, nutritional considerations and pharmacological agents in AKI is complex.
