The incidence of AKI is increasing so the right approach for interpretation of clinical clues and investigation may be lifesaving.Aim:

This was a retrospective analysis of medical/electronic records of 10 patients who were admitted in medical wards between January 2020 and June 2021 and diagnosed to have AKI.Results:
We present the history, clinical findings, and investigations of 10 patients diagnosed with unusual causes of AKI.Conclusion:
