Objectives: To study etiology, clinical profile and outcome of AKI in medical ICU. Material and Methods: Cross sectional observational study included 50 patients with AKI, a thorough case history, physical examination, routine and specific lab investigations were done to find out the underlying etiology, clinical features and outcome of AKI. Results: Maximum incidence (22%) of AKI was seen in the age group between 25- 30 years. The most common clinical features were vomiting (92%), oliguria (80%), fatigue (72%), fever (70%). The incidence of prerenal, renal and postrenal AKI was 20% 76%, 4% respectively, Malaria(24%) was the predominant cause of AKI in our study.
