Acute Kidney Injury in Acute Febrile Illness, a prospective observational study

Abstract

Background:
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and serious complication of acute febrile illness (AFI) in tropical regions, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Infection-related AKI remains underrecognized due to overlapping clinical presentations and limited diagnostic resources. This study aimed to determine the incidence, etiology, clinical profile, and outcomes of AKI in patients admitted with AFI.
