Possible complications of AKI

People suffering from AKI may develop complications such as metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, and pulmonary edema. If there's insufficient improvement in the condition, artificial support in the form of dialysis or hemofiltration will be required. Depending on the cause, a proportion of patients may fail to regain renal function and will proceed to develop end-stage renal failure.
