Acute kidney injury, or AKI
refers to a sudden decrease in kidney function over hours or days. As a result, the kidney’s ability to manage fluid, electrolyte and impaired acid base balance.

Diagnostic criterion for AKI;
It is an abrupt (within 48 hours) reduction in kidney function defined as an absolute increase in the serum creatinine level of at least 0.3 mg/dL.

A 50% increase in the serum creatinine level, or a
documented urine output of less than 0.5 mL/kg per hour for more than 6 hours

Causes of AKI include:
_ systemic shock due to a sudden loss of blood supply to the kidneys from trauma, surgical complications, or sepsis
_ streptococcal infection
_ impaired glucose utilization, protein catabolism,
_ accumulation of metabolic waste, and a rapid decrease in urine output

Nutrition intervention:
Energy: Use 25 to 35 kcal/kg of actual body weight as an estimation of energy requirements.

Protein: The optimal protein intake for patients without dialysis provide 0.8 to 1.2 g/kg of actual body weight. In the presence of catabolism, provide 1.2 to 1.5
g/kg of actual body weight.

Sodium: Intake should be 2,000 to 3,000 mg/day based on the patient’s blood pressure and the
presence of edema. During the diuretic phase, replace sodium losses based on urinary output, edema, renal
replacement therapy, and serum sodium levels.

Potassium: Provide 2,000 to 3,000 mg/day of potassium. During the diuretic phase, replace potassium
losses based on urinary volume, serum and urinary potassium levels, renal replacement therapy, and drug therapy.

Phosphorus: Provide 8 to 15 mg/kg of phosphorus. Closely monitor the phosphorus levels of patients who receive renal replacement therapy.

Calcium: Maintain serum levels of calcium within normal ranges. Closely monitor the calcium levels of
patients who receive renal replacement therapy.

Fluids: The daily fluid intake should be 500 mL plus the volume of urine output. The fluid intake also depends on the serum and urinary sodium level, total fluid output (including urine), and type of dialysis.

Yes, consuming fruits and vegetables is a great way to get natural sugars in your diet. Fruits and vegetables are not only a good source of natural sugars but also provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The sugars found in fruits and vegetables are known as fructose, which is naturally occurring and usually accompanied by a variety of other beneficial nutrients. It's important to note that the natural sugars found in fruits and vegetables are generally healthier than added sugars found in processed foods and beverages. So, incorporating a variety of fruits and vegetables into your diet is a smart choice for obtaining natural sugars along with other important nutrients.

Managing stress is essential for our well-being, and understanding its signs and employing simple techniques to reduce it is crucial.

While many desire a stress-free life, a certain amount of stress is necessary to motivate us.

Rather than attempting to eliminate stress entirely, the goal is to bring it back down when it becomes overwhelming. Think of it like a bottle of carbonated drink that has been shaken vigorously. Without a way to release the pressure, it will eventually explode. However, by creating small openings, the pressure can be released without causing a mess.

Similarly, we can create relieving holes in our stress levels by employing a few techniques:

1. Take deep breaths through your nostrils, followed by a deep sigh while exhaling through your mouth. Repeat this process whenever needed, as it activates the calming network in your body known as the para-sympathetic nervous system.

2. If possible, go for a walk outside. Not only does this provide an opportunity for deep breathing, but it also helps shift your focus from a narrow perspective to using your peripheral vision, which aids in calming you down.

3. If going outside is not feasible, make sure to get up and move around. This change in physical activity alters your breathing pattern and improves blood circulation throughout your body.

4. Take a moment to put things into perspective. Consider how this current situation fits into the larger context of your life. Often, we become consumed by the present moment and forget that it may not matter much in the grand scheme of things.

5. Adopt a curious mindset. Ask yourself what you can learn from the situation and whether you have the power to change it or only yourself. Sometimes, reevaluating our relationship with stress can make a significant difference.

Remember that these techniques require practice before you notice significant results. Give them a try the next time you feel the pressure rising. They are all free and worth exploring.
