Acute kidney injury, known as AKI, is surprisingly common, especially among people in hospital.

It happens when the kidneys stop working properly, often because of a change in blood flow due to surgery or an infection. If the kidneys do not recover quickly, it can turn into a chronic condition. Therefore, physicians would like better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat AKI.
