Acute Kidney Injury treatment in Aguascalientes

Acute kidney injury is a rapid and often reversible loss of kidney function, in which the kidneys stop filtering waste properly and regulating the body's fluids. It can develop over hours or days from a variety of situations.

How it may show up: decreased amount of urine, swelling in the legs or face, tiredness, nausea, and confusion as it progresses; sometimes it is detected only in lab tests.

Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist is the go-to physician for kidney problems, with the internist and the emergency physician involved depending on the context. When warning signs or a sudden decline appear, seeking prompt professional evaluation is essential to protect kidney function.
