EARLY AND LATE REHABILITATION OF RENAL FUNCTION IN WOMEN WITH ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Acute kidney injury is a sudden decrease in kidney function over a period of several days or weeks, causing the accumulation of nitrogenous compounds in the blood (azotemia) with or without a decrease in diuresis. This is often due to inadequate renal perfusion due to severe trauma, disease, or surgery, but sometimes the cause is rapidly progressive endogenous kidney disease. Symptoms may include anorexia, nausea, and vomiting. Epileptic seizures and coma develop if left untreated. Water, electrolyte and acid-base balance disorders develop rapidly. The diagnosis is based on laboratory tests of renal function, including serum creatinine levels. Urine test results, urinary sediment microscopy, and often vocalization techniques and other examination methods (sometimes with a kidney biopsy) are necessary to determine the cause. Treatment is aimed at the cause of the disease, but also includes replenishing the water and electrolyte balance and sometimes dialysis.
