Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a sudden deterioration of kidney function, typically diagnosed by a rise in serum creatinine (SCr) and/or a decrease in urine output. In urological conditions, AKI can result from a variety of factors such as an obstruction of the genitourinary tract, urological procedures, trauma, vascular causes, nephrotoxic drugs, or infection. Imaging plays an integral part in the diagnosis of post-renal AKI. Novel kidney biomarkers may have roles in the diagnosis and prognostication of urology-associated AKI. Finally, management consists of the correction of the underlying cause and supportive care. The prognosis of AKI in urological conditions depends on the underlying cause, the timeliness of intervention, and the patient's baseline kidney health.
期刊介绍：
Asian Biomedicine: Research, Reviews and News (ISSN 1905-7415 print; 1875-855X online) is published in one volume (of 6 bimonthly issues) a year since 2007. [...]Asian Biomedicine is an international, general medical and biomedical journal that aims to publish original peer-reviewed contributions dealing with various topics in the biomedical and health sciences from basic experimental to clinical aspects. The work and authorship must be strongly affiliated with a country in Asia, or with specific importance and relevance to the Asian region. The Journal will publish reviews, original experimental studies, observational studies, technical and clinical (case) reports, practice guidelines, historical perspectives of Asian biomedicine, clinicopathological conferences, and commentaries
Asian biomedicine is intended for a broad and international audience, primarily those in the health professions including researchers, physician practitioners, basic medical scientists, dentists, educators, administrators, those in the assistive professions, such as nurses, and the many types of allied health professionals in research and health care delivery systems including those in training.
