What is Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) often caused by?

Dehydration
Infection
Overhydration
Vitamin D Deficiency

The correct answer is: Dehydration

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is often caused by dehydration. Dehydration can lead to reduced blood flow to the kidneys, causing damage to the kidney cells. This can result in AKI. Infections, overhydration, and vitamin D deficiency are not typically direct causes of AKI. While these conditions may have an impact on kidney function, dehydration is a more common and direct cause of AKI.
