AB  - The  kidneys  are  responsible  for  several  vital  homeostatic  processes,  including  the  excretion  of  nitrogenous  waste  products,  the  regulation  of  fluid  volume  and  electrolytes,  acid–base  balance,  and  the  production  of  hormones  important  for  blood  pressure  regulation,  erythropoiesis,  and  bone  metabolism.  They  are  frequently  affected  by  disease,  both  acute  (occurring  over  days  to  weeks)  and  chronic  (occurring  over  months  to  years).  Acute  kidney  injury  (AKI),  formerly  known  as  acute  renal  failure,  has  become  an  increasingly  common  cause  of  hospitalization,  with  an  incidence  of  5%  to  7%  among  hospitalized  patients.  Chronic  kidney  disease  (CKD)  reportedly  affects  13%  of  adults  in  the  United  States,  and  is  associated  with  significant  morbidity,  mortality,  and  expense.  The  recent  advent  of  automatic  reporting  of  estimated  glomerular  filtration  rate  (eGFR)  with  serum  creatinine  by  hospital  laboratories  has  resulted  in  more  patients  being  identified  as  having  impaired  renal  function.  In  order  to  provide  the  highest  level  of  care  for  patients  presenting  with  acute  or  CKD,  the  clinician  should  have  a  strong  understanding  of  the  fundamental  issues  relevant  to  their  evaluation  and  management.
