AKI (Acute Kidney Injury)

Acute kidney injury is a sudden drop in kidney function — less urine, swelling, vomiting or rising creatinine.

In children it often follows severe dehydration, infection or medicines that the kidneys did not tolerate. Early fluids and stopping the trigger can reverse a lot of damage.

Understand

What we explain in clinic

Less urine

Watch

Dry nappies, no urine for hours, or a sudden drop in how often the child voids.

After illness

Trigger

Gastroenteritis, shock or a severe infection can tip the kidneys.

Balance lost

Risk

Salt, water and potassium can swing quickly in a small child.

Reversible

Hope

Many pediatric AKI cases recover if the cause is treated promptly.

Evaluation

What we look for

Exam

Now

Hydration, blood pressure and a fresh urine output history come first.

Labs

Guide

Creatinine, electrolytes and urine tests tell us how hard the kidneys were hit.

Fluids

Careful

Sometimes the child needs fluid; sometimes the child is already overloaded.

Monitor

Stay close

We decide clinic versus hospital based on urine, potassium and alertness.

At Grace Clinic

How care is planned

01

Listen first

We take a full history — onset, feeding, fever, sleep, school and any earlier reports.

02

Examine & chart

Growth, chest, tummy, skin and development are checked. Tests are advised only if they change care.

03

Treat & follow

A clear home plan is given, with a review so we know the child is settling.

When to book

This is urgent if there is no urine, breathing feels heavy from fluid, or the child is drowsy after diarrhoea.
