Acute kidney injury (AKI), previously known as acute renal failure, represents a medical emergency and encompasses a wide range of damage to the kidneys
(AKI) Acute kidney injury occurs when kidney function rapidly deteriorates, leading to an inability to maintain fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. It contributes to increased morbidity and mortality. The severity of AKI results in significant healthcare costs. Consequently, there is a heightened focus on identifying new biomarkers for AKI. Detecting AKI earlier would ultimately preserve lives, improve patients' quality of life globally, and reduce healthcare system expenses.
