    Abstract

    Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI), formerly known as acute renal failure, is a condition in which nitrogenous and other waste products are retained due to sudden impairment of renal function. It initiates a cascade of renal damage ranging from mild to severe forms. The condition is common in critically ill hospitalized patients. The mortality and incidence are as high as 82% and 31% respectively in some parts of the world. It suggests that AKI is a major risk factor for mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU).
