Acute<unk><unk>  is defined as spontaneous deficit in<unk>  functions leading to urea retention and electrolyte imbalance. Etiologies of AKI can be divided based on pathophysiologic mechanisms into 3 broad categories: prerenal, intrinsic renal, and postrenal causes. Pre-renal AKI is most common and typically results from hypovolemia. Intrinsic renal is due to damage to renal paranchyma. Post-renal AKI is usually result of an obstruction, may be due to stones or strictures.
