What is acute kidney damage?
Acute kidney damage (aki) occurs when one or both kidneys at a time cannot filter dangerous toxins and other waste fluids from the body. The first hint of kidney failure is often a sudden decrease in urine performance and abdominal pain. There are three types of AKI: prererenal, internal and spoiled. Acute kidney damage is classified by the origin of kidney failure.
Prereorous acute kidney damage concerns damage resulting from reducing blood flow to the kidneys and kidneys. The general causes of the prerenal of aki are related to changes in the volume of the body of the body or low blood pressure from heart disease. The kidneys are not able to produce enough urine to detoxify the body without sufficient fluid pressure. If a blood clot leads to the kidneys, blood flow can be interrupted on the way to the kidneys. The kidneys can recover after dialysis to remove waste mass in the body.
Internal acute kidney damage is caused by damage to the kidney structure. The kidney may be malformed or inflammation can mItem in the kidneys, causing the kidneys to work incorrectly. Treatment of internal acute kidney damage is a dialysis that replaces the kidney filter duties. In case of complete renal failure, transplantation of one or both kidneys may be needed.
Postrenal acute kidney damage is the result of an obstacle to the urinary path. The kidneys can still be able to function normally, but the accumulation of fluid from the filtration process causes the renal system to overcome the pressure and eventually reduce the renal efficiency. The treatment begins with the catheter inserting to reduce the pressure from the imprisoned urine. The abdomen is then scanned by computer tomography (CT) to determine where the blocking occurred. Finally, blocking is removed and renewed by the kidney function.
Treatment of acute kidney damage focuses on replacing kidney function. The physician orders intravenous fluids to increase the kidney pressure and stimulate more urine.If blood tests show the accumulation of toxins, dialysis can be ordered continuously or two to three to three times a week. Acute kidney damage caused by excessive use of some drugs such as acetaminophene or ibuprofen may be alleviated after drugs are no longer used. In most cases, the kidneys recover after treatment and dialysis can be interrupted.
