Understanding Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) Due to Low Blood Flow

The condition that can be caused by the kidneys not receiving enough blood to filter due dehydration or a sudden drop in volume pressure is called Acute Kidney Injury (AKI).

When the kidneys do not receive enough blood flow, they are unable to effectively filter waste products and fluid from the body. This can lead to build-up of toxins in the blood, electrolyte imbalances, and fluid retention.
