Q

What electrolyte disturbances are expected in AKI?

A

In Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), the following electrolyte disturbances are common:

Hyperkalemia: Due to reduced potassium excretion; risk of arrhythmias.

Hyponatremia: Often dilutional from fluid retention; can cause neurological symptoms.

Hyperphosphatemia: Impaired phosphate excretion; can lead to calcium-phosphate imbalances.

Hypocalcemia: Reduced vitamin D activation and phosphate retention; may cause cramps or tetany.

Hypermagnesemia: Decreased magnesium excretion; can lead to bradycardia and hypotension.

Metabolic Acidosis: Accumulation of hydrogen ions; may cause compensatory hyperventilation.

Hypervolemia: Fluid retention; can cause edema and hypertension.
