A 67-year-old woman presents to the emergency department with a 3-day history of diarrhoea and vomiting. Whilst she states that her diarrhoea is improving slightly, she mentions that she has not passed urine since yesterday afternoon. Blood tests reveal a creatinine of 320umol/L, with her baseline being 102umol/L. The emergency physician diagnoses her with a pre-renal AKI secondary to hypovolemia due to her recent infection. She has a past medical history of osteoarthritis, hypertension, and vitamin D deficiency.
