ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY IN PATIENTS WITH SEVERE BURNS: PATHOGENESIS, DIAGNOSIS, AND TREATMENT

Acute kidney injury in patients with severe burns is one of the most serious complications in clinical practice. Its development is caused by fluid loss, circulatory disorders, tissue breakdown, and inflammatory reactions that damage the kidneys. Early recognition with laboratory and instrumental methods is very important for timely treatment. Management is based on restoring fluid balance, supporting kidney function, preventing toxins from accumulating, and in severe cases using blood purification methods. Preventive measures and comprehensive therapy increase the chances of survival and help to preserve kidney function in burn patients.
