recovery
what phase of acute injury?
also called onset phase; starts from the initial results and ends with signs and symptoms
initiation
what phase of acute injury?
also known as anuric phase; low urine output, hyperkalemia, and edema; watch out for cardiac issues
oliguria
what phase of acute injury?
nephrons are on the way to recover; BUN and creatinine are getting normal
diuresis
what phase of acute injury?
signal improvement of normal function; duration months to year
recovery
