primarily responsible for the regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance‚ acute or chronic changes in renal function can result in multiple imbalances. Acutely‚ the rapidity of onset of renal deterioration makes nursing assessment and intervention critical to the prevention of complications and potentially fatal outcomes.” (Chambers‚ 1987‚ p. 815). Assessment Once AKI is suspected the assessment of laboratory values is very important. Serum electrolyte values become increasingly elevated as AKI develops
