- Explain how to investigate and manage urological causes of renal failure
Prerequisites
Before commencing this session you should have:
- Basic knowledge of renal physiology
Acute kidney injury (AKI), otherwise known as acute renal failure, is extremely common with an estimated 1 in 5 patients who are acutely admitted into hospital sustaining an AKI.
A report produced by the UK National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD) [1](read details regarding the reference) revealed suboptimal care in managing patients with AKI, in particular with regards to prevention, recognition and specialty intervention.
Approximately 10% of acute renal injury patients have a post-renal cause, many of which are managed by urologists. Recognising these patients and offering early intervention is essential in preventing further morbidity and mortality.
