The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) has found 269 cases of atypical progressive acute kidney injury (AKI) throughout Indonesia until October 26, 2022.

According to the Kemenkes spokesperson, Mohammad Syahril, many acute kidney injury patients experience characteristic symptoms such as anuria (no urine output) or oliguria (reduced urine output).

"Based on our data, 53% experienced anuria, meaning they did not urinate at all, while 22% experienced oliguria," said Syahril in a press conference on Thursday (27/10/2022).

He gave an example: a person usually urinates up to 10 times a day. However, suddenly their urine production decreases to only 4 to 5 times a day. According to Syahril, this is one of the signs of acute kidney injury.

"Besides frequency, the volume of urine production in children also needs to be considered. If anuria occurs, or they cannot urinate, then it has entered the third stage, a severe stage," he said.

Acute kidney injury patients also generally experience initial symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, lethargy, diarrhea, nausea, and respiratory problems.

"Therefore, we are urged to be cautious of the initial symptoms," said Syahril.
