A Study to Support the Development of the Enhanced Fluid Assessment Tool for Patients With Acute Kidney Injury

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is the sudden and recent reduction in kidney function. This can be detected by measuring a rise in blood creatinine level or from a reduction in urine. Reasons for developing AKI, include dehydration, low blood pressure, medication and infection. When the kidneys stop working, there can be a build-up of toxins and fluid. It is extremely important to identify a patient's fluid status as too little can cause further damage to the kidneys and too much can be harmful. Assessment is varied and often inaccurate and there needs to be a standard approach to fluid assessment.
