Summary: Over the years, the landscape of AKI has shifted significantly, with medical advances opening new doors to understanding its complexities. Yet, the challenge remains: AKI continues to claim lives, contribute to chronic kidney disease, and affect quality of life in profound ways. This book is not just a guide, but a beacon of hope for those navigating the uncertain path of AKI—whether they are patients, caregivers, or medical professionals committed to providing compassionate and effective care. The 2011 KDIGO Clinical Practice Guideline for Acute Kidney Injury sets the stage for a standardized understanding of AKI, introducing essential criteria that have guided healthcare providers worldwide. However, AKI is more than a set of numbers or diagnoses—it is a human struggle, one that can range from silent, subtle changes in the body to overwhelming and life-threatening crises. Each patient’s journey is unique, and every effort in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment must be centered on those we are here to help. This book is intended to be a living resource—one that can be utilized by clinicians, researchers, and caregivers alike. Within its pages, we have brought together the latest evidence-based practices and insights into the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management of AKI. But more than that, this book is a testament to our shared mission: To give those battling AKI the best possible care, with a commitment to their well-being and a vision for a healthier future.
