Overview
There are no x-ray specific findings associated with AKI. However, X-ray may be used in diagnosis of fluid overload complicating AKI.

- There are no x-ray specific findings associated with AKI. However, AKI may lead to fluid overload leading to pulmonary edema.
- Findings on an x-ray suggestive of pulmonary edema include:[1][2]
- Kerley B lines or thickening of the interlobular septa
- Cephalization
- Increased cardio-thoracic ratio
- Peribronchial cuffing
- Thickening of the fissures
