Joseph P Gaut and Helen Liapis present a detailed review article on the pathology of acute kidney injury (AKI), supported by excellent illustrations. The pathologist’s perspective on tubular and glomerular diseases leading to acute kidney malfunction and an extended list of etiologies with distinct pathology features allow readers to grasp the complexity of the evaluation of renal biopsies in various entities falling into the broad clinical description of AKI.
