What is Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)?
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a sudden decline in kidney function, which can result from various factors, including infections, medications, dehydration, or underlying health conditions. If left untreated, AKI can lead to permanent kidney damage. Early detection and intervention are crucial in preventing long-term kidney issues.
What is Hypertension?
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a common but serious condition that increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage. Proper management is essential to prevent complications and protect your long-term health.
