Acute kidney injury (AKI), also known as acute renal failure (ARF), is a brief period of kidney failure or damage that occurs over a period of hours or days. AKI causes a build-up of waste products in your blood, making it difficult for your kidneys to maintain the proper fluid balance in your body. Other organs, such as the brain, heart, and lungs, can be affected by AKI. Acute kidney damage is prevalent in hospitalized patients, especially in critical care units, and in the elderly.
