Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a syndrome characterized by an abrupt worsening resulting in the inability to filter metabolic waste and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. This study aims to identify the nursing care provided to patients with AKI in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), as well as to describe the main treatments and interventions performed by ICU nurses. This study was carried out through a descriptive observational methodology during supervised internship II in a large hospital in a city in Espírito Santo, in addition to correlating through an integrative review with selection of 19 articles for discussion, evaluating the nursing care provided to patients with AKI in ICU beds. It can be concluded that adequate management by ICU nurses in the face of comorbidities is essential to reduce the risk of AKI and improve clinical performance in these patients.
