It is more common in the elderly and in people with multiple long term conditions. AKI is common and affects over 20% of people who have an unplanned hospital admission. This is known as acute kidney injury or AKI. People with mild and moderately low kidney function are at greater risk of developing kidney damage during periods of acute illness such as infections caused by flu or gastroenteritis.
