Kidneys are one of the most important organs in our body. They remove excess fluids, salt, and waste materials from the blood for elimination in the urine. Every day, they filter about 200 litres of blood to produce approximately 2 litres of urine. Acute kidney injury (AKI), also known as acute renal failure, refers to a condition where the kidneys suddenly lose this ability to filter and excrete waste from blood, usually developing within hours to a few days.
