 The implications of acute and chronic kidney injury can be life altering.  Protection of the kidneys from initial insult, as well as immediate intervention, are key to preserving renal function.  This 60-minute webinar will explore the most common etiologies of acute kidney injury and strategies for recognition and early intervention. Continuous renal replacement therapies available for critically ill patients will be addressed as an early intervention option.  In addition to acute kidney injury, key nursing considerations for avoiding and managing the complications of chronic kidney injury, including electrolyte abnormalities, will be discussed.
