Isotonic solutions are given to AKI (acute kidney injury) patients because they help to restore electrolyte balance and maintain proper hydration levels in the body. Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes as body fluids, which means they are quickly and easily absorbed by the body without causing any significant shifts in fluid or electrolyte levels. This is important for AKI patients because their kidneys are not functioning properly and may not be able to effectively regulate fluid and electrolyte levels on their own. Isotonic solutions can help to prevent further damage to the kidneys and improve overall kidney function in AKI patients.
