ISN Africa Regional Board webinar: AKI in Africa – A look at pregnancy related, community acquired and disasters

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a syndrome with various causes and variable outcomes. AKI is prevalent, with significant under-diagnosis/under-reporting of AKI in low income countries. AKI imposes a heavy burden of morbidity and mortality, and high costs of management.  With ISN’S focus on prevention, and 0 x 25, and the 2023 World Kidney Day theme of “Kidney Health for all- preparing for the unexpected, supporting the vulnerable”, this webinar addresses special areas for targeting AKI prevention: AKI at community level, where the majority of AKI occurs; disasters and their major impact on kidney health; pregnancy-related AKI with potentially life-threatening consequences for mother and baby.
