Acute kidney injury in the tropics

Asha Maria Xavier et al. Trop Doct. 2024 Apr.

Abstract

Acute kidney injury in the Tropics is strikingly different from that in developed countries in terms of aetiology and presentation. Moreover, there are radical differences between the developed world and the economically poorer regions within the tropics. Infections are the number one cause leading to significant mortality. This article reviews the most common causes of acute kidney injury in the Tropics and describes its management briefly.

Keywords: AIDS < disease; Malaria < disease; dengue fever < disease; typhoid < disease.
