    What is the difference between acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in relation to creatinine levels?

    Both acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) result in elevated creatinine levels, but they differ in their causes and progression. AKI is a sudden decline in kidney function, often due to dehydration, infection, or medication use, and is usually reversible with prompt treatment. CKD, on the other hand, is a long-term, progressive loss of kidney function that may eventually lead to kidney failure. Monitoring creatinine levels helps differentiate between AKI and CKD and allows for appropriate treatment strategies.
