Abstract

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common, harmful and costly clinical syndrome with high rates of unplanned readmissions and poor long-term health outcomes. Recent understandings, expounded in the concept of ‘Lifeworld’, place the healthcare needs of patients within the wider context of their lives. We aimed to explore patients' lived experience of care following an AKI and healthcare professionals perspectives of the management of AKI and relational work in that context.
