Acute kidney injury (AKI), previously known as acute renal failure (ARF), is an acute decline in renal function, leading to a rise in serum creatinine and/or a fall in urine output. It occurs when the kidney function gets worse over a period of days or weeks. AKI is quite common, however, the people most likely to get it are those with abnormal kidneys to start with - such as those with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
