Acute kidney injury with fluid overload

Educational use only. Not clinically reviewed

67-year-old woman for Fluid-balance stabilization. About 8 simulated minutes.

What you will practise

  • Recognize severe AKI with harmful fluid accumulation and organ dysfunction.
  • Review reversible AKI causes, urgent complications, kidney capacity, and treatment context.
  • Stop nonessential accumulation and review the reported diuretic response with safety guardrails.
  • Activate individualized kidney-support planning for refractory fluid demand.
  • Reassess fluid, respiratory, kidney, hemodynamic, and metabolic trajectories.
