About this listen
In this episode of Gimme 5, Regional Educator Rachel breaks down the four stages of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) — from the moment of injury to full recovery.
Rachel explains the Initiation, Oliguric, Diuretic, and Recovery phases in plain language, linking clinical findings to practical bedside care. You’ll learn how to interpret key lab trends, and what nursing interventions make the biggest difference for patient outcomes.
You’ll take away:
✅ Early warning signs to help prevent permanent kidney damage
✅ What defines each stage of AKI and how long they typically last
✅ Which labs and assessments matter most — and what those numbers mean
✅ How to tailor nursing interventions for each stage to support recovery
