The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) have developed a new toolkit on  acute kidney injury and intravenous fluid therapy. Dehydrated patients are particularly at risk, so the toolkit underlines the importance of accurate measuring of fluid intake, when to start giving the patient fluids intravenously, and how much and what kind of fluids should be administered. Once diagnosed, patients are also at risk of complications, so the toolkit lists these to help doctors provide ongoing care to prevent them. Patients who have recovered from AKI have a higher risk of later kidney and heart disease, so the toolkit also outlines the risk factors and the actions that the clinical team can take to prevent this from happening. Discharge and the need for follow-up treatment are also covered in the toolkit, with advice on potential follow-up medication.
