What is Drug-Induced Acute Kidney Injury Overview about?
Drug-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant concern in hospitalized patients, with medications causing 14%-37.5% of cases. Common risk factors include advanced age, volume depletion, and exposure to nephrotoxins, while prevention focuses on adjusting medication doses and maximizing kidney perfusion. Treatment primarily involves discontinuing the offending agents and managing hydration, with corticosteroids sometimes used for acute interstitial nephritis.
