Kidney Recovery after Acute Kidney Injury: A Comprehensive Review

Background: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a common and critical condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality across various patient populations. The recovery process following AKI is complex and involves a multitude of biological, clinical, and environmental factors. Despite considerable research, there remains substantial debate regarding the exact role and significance of these factors, as well as how they interact with one another. Summary: This systematic review aims to examine the currently available evidence on the key factors influencing AKI recovery. We hope to offer a clearer understanding of the complex dynamics in AKI recovery, including where current evidence remains inconclusive or contradictory. Key Messages: This review will provide valuable insights for clinicians and researchers aiming to improve treatment strategies and patient outcomes in AKI recovery.
