What is Acute Kidney Injury
Critical Care Nephrology

Patients may suffer Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) for a variety of reasons, such as infections, surgeries, or adverse effects from medications. 

Some may become severely ill with multi-organ problems in the Intensive Care Unit.  Hospitalized patients with AKI have a high risk of an adverse outcome.  Our doctors perform a variety of support therapies for these patients including continuous renal replacement therapy (hemodialysis, hemofiltration or hemodiafiltration), slow continuous ultrafiltration, and plasma exchange.
