Acute kidney injury- how to treat this condition?

Hello, I am a mother of a 15-year-old boy. He is having strong fatigue after intense exercise since childhood. He had no remarkable medical history apart from allergic rhinitis. After entering high school, he often felt unwell, especially in the morning, and frequently missed classes. He was diagnosed with acute kidney injury. How to treat this condition?

@abhik The treatment for AKI depends on what caused it to happen. Most people need to stay in the hospital during treatment and until their kidneys recover. While you are being treated for the problem that caused your AKI, you may also have treatments to prevent problems that can make it harder for your kidneys to heal. Some possible treatments include: Temporary hemodialysis to do the work that your kidneys should be doing, until they can recover. Medicines to control the amounts of vitamins and minerals in your blood. Treatments to keep the right amount of fluid in your blood. When you return home, your doctor may ask you to follow a kidney-friendly diet plan to help your kidneys continue to heal. Your doctor may be able to refer you to a dietitian, who can help you make a kidney-friendly diet plan that works for you.
