Managing Acute Kidney Injury in the emergency department requires swift recognition and aggressive stabilization. Subtle drops in urine output or minor creatinine rises often hide progressive renal damage.

This focused session breaks down a rapid bedside protocol for emergent AKI. Key topics include differentiating etiologies (pre-renal, renal, post-renal), executing targeted fluid therapy without driving volume overload, and managing acute hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis. Clinicians will leave with clear guidelines on drug dosing adjustments and timely indicators for emergent renal replacement therapy.
