Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by a rapid decline in kidney function, often resulting in complex metabolic and hormonal derangements. A major concern in managing AKI patients is the development of protein energy wasting (PEW), a condition marked by loss of lean body mass and negative impact on overall health outcomes. Additionally, the need of Kidney Replacement Therapy (KRT) for the most severe forms of AKI may further increase the risk of PEW, with a substantial impact on fluid and metabolic balance.

- The study looked at patients with diverticular disease (DD) and how their bowel movements, like constipation and diarrhea, relate to the seriousness of their condition.
- Researchers measured the severity using different tools and checked how changes in bowel habits might predict future health problems.
- They found that people with worse constipation or diarrhea had more severe DD and were more likely to develop a serious illness called acute diverticulitis over three years.
