Slide 16: Acute Kidney Injury Causes
Acute kidney injury Causes infographic
This slide provides a clear explanation of the three primary causes of acute kidney injury. It uses three separate cards, each with a diagram that highlights where the problem occurs.
The three categories are prerenal, which affects the blood flow to the kidneys; renal, which points to problems with the kidneys themselves; and postrenal, which shows issues after the kidneys, in the urinary tract. This slide is a very helpful way to teach and remember the different origins of this condition.

This circular design reinforces the interconnectedness of these systemic conditions and their impact on kidney function.
Use this slide to provide a dynamic and memorable overview of how problems elsewhere in the body can lead to kidney injury.
Slide 19: Acute Kidney Injury Renal Causes
AKI causes infographic
This slide moves from the general causes to the specific problems that happen right inside the kidney.
It uses four detailed diagrams to show what goes wrong in each case.
The four causes shown are acute tubular injury, interstitial nephritis, acute glomerulonephritis, and vasculitis.
Use this slide to explain the different types of damage that can affect the kidney's filtering parts and lead to kidney injury.
Slide 20: Acute Kidney Injury Postrenal Causes
AKI postrenal causes infographic
Focus on the postrenal causes of acute kidney injury with this slide, which are problems that block the flow of urine after it leaves the kidneys.
The diagrams show three distinct issues: bladder outlet obstruction, bilateral ureteric obstruction, and obstruction of a solitary kidney.
Introduce the risk factors for acute kidney injury with this section slide, a useful way to get your audience ready to learn about who is most at risk.
Slide 22: Acute Kidney Injury Risk Factors
AKI risk factors
This slide lists several common things that can increase a person's risk of getting acute kidney injury, including being hospitalized, age, peripheral artery disease, diabetes, and chemotherapy. The use of icons provides a brief look at the major risk factors.
Expand on the topic of risk factors with this slide, which highlights how existing health issues can increase the chance of disease. Icons are used to represent high blood pressure, heart failure, kidney diseases, and liver diseases, showing how different health problems are connected.
This slide introduces the next main topic for the attendees.
Unlike the previous slides that looked at causes and risk factors, this one moves to explaining how the damage actually happens inside the kidney.
Slide 25: Cross-section of the Kidney
Explain the main parts of the kidney with this cross-section diagram. It points out the renal artery, nephrons, and renal vein, helping to explain the basic structure before you discuss what goes wrong in the disease.

This animated slide is the perfect tool to introduce the overall flow of events in the nephron, explaining the four main parts: filtration, reabsorption, secretion, and excretion.
Slide 27: Detailed Overview of the Normal Nephron's Functions
Animated slide for nephron physiliogy
For a deeper understanding of the process, this slide gives a close-up view of the nephron. The detailed diagram uses colored dots to show key elements like blood cells, creatinine, and water, bringing the filtering process to life.
Slide 28: The Normal Nephron's Functions
Explain the journey inside the kidney to meet the glomerulus, the first and most important filter. The diagram acts as a guide to show how the kidney sorts what passes through, explaining the very beginning of its mission to clean the blood.
Slide 29: Glomerulus in Prerenal Kidney Injury
Glomerulus in prerenal kidney injury
The journey continues with this slide, a powerful visual showing the glomerulus under stress from prerenal causes. The diagram illustrates how a lack of blood flow impacts the filtration of blood cells, creatinine, and water, showing where the story of kidney injury begins.
Slide 30: Acute Tubular Necrosis Explained
Acute Tubular Necrosis
This slide zooms in to explain a specific crisis happening inside the kidney: acute tubular necrosis.
It’s a story of damage, where the kidney’s cells are hurt by ischemia or toxins.
The diagram illustrates how this damage creates casts that block the flow of urine, highlighting the physical impact this injury has on the kidney’s function.
Slide 31: Acute Interstitial Nephritis Explained
Acute Interstitial Nephritis Explained
The slide shows a different kind of challenge within the kidney, specifically within the Bowman's Capsule, which is under attack.
The diagram tells the story of acute interstitial nephritis, showing how toxins and inflammatory cells infiltrate the area.
This slide is a compelling way to show how the immune system's response can lead to serious damage.
Slide 32: How Postrenal Obstruction Causes Injury
How does postrenal obstruction cause injury?
This final slide in the sequence tells the story of a blockage. It provides the audience a clear visual of the problem: something like stones creates an obstruction that stops the flow of urine.
The diagram shows how this causes a buildup of pressure and a harmful accumulation of water, sodium, and other metabolic products that ultimately injure the kidney.
This slide uses a visual metaphor to introduce the topic of symptoms, serving as an engaging way to begin discussing the clinical presentation of the condition.
Slide 34: Clinical Symptoms of Acute Kidney Injury
Symptoms of acute kidney injury
