He presents a case study, explaining AKI’s definition and progression (from Acute to Chronic Kidney Disease). Highlighting the high prevalence of AKI in ICU (about 60%), the speaker emphasizes mortality risks, necessary diagnostics (creatinine levels, urine studies, and biomarkers), and the importance of understanding the cause. He prioritizes minimizing nephrotoxins, optimizing volume status, and preventing complications like fluid overload.
