Increasing knowledge of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)

Abstract

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a medical syndrome with a significant risk of mortality and morbidity for patients. Questionnaires were conducted to assess knowledge of the condition in both final year medical students and foundation doctors.  Following this, a guideline was produced with information about the treatment of AKI, and given to the same groups. A secondary questionnaire assessment has shown increased awareness amongst final year medical students suggesting usefulness of the simple guidance.
