Overview
Warts
Warts are benign skin growths caused by infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV). They may occur on the hands, feet, face, or other areas of the skin and can vary in size, shape, and surface texture. Some warts are painless, while others, particularly those on weight-bearing areas of the feet, can become uncomfortable or painful. Warts may resolve without treatment, although they can persist or spread to other areas.
Acute Kidney Injury
Acute kidney injury is a sudden decline in kidney function that develops over hours or days. The kidneys may temporarily lose their ability to remove waste products and maintain normal fluid, electrolyte, and acid balance. Causes include severe dehydration, infection, reduced blood flow, urinary obstruction, and certain medicines or other kidney-injuring substances.

Warts
Most warts are diagnosed clinically by examining their characteristic appearance, surface, and location. A healthcare professional may distinguish common warts from other skin lesions based on the examination. A biopsy or other testing may occasionally be required when a lesion is unusual, persistent, rapidly changing, painful, bleeding, or difficult to distinguish from another skin condition.
Acute Kidney Injury
Diagnosis involves identifying a sudden change in kidney function through blood and urine tests. Serum creatinine and urine output are important measures. Healthcare professionals may examine urine for blood, protein, infection, or other abnormalities and may use ultrasound or other imaging when obstruction is suspected. The medical history helps identify dehydration, infection, medicines, toxins, or other potential causes.
Prevention
Warts
Warts cannot always be completely prevented, but reducing exposure to HPV can lower risk. Avoid picking, scratching, or biting warts and avoid sharing towels, razors, nail tools, or other personal items that contact affected skin. Wear footwear in communal wet areas, keep cuts and breaks in the skin clean and covered when appropriate, and wash hands after touching a wart. Avoid direct contact with another person’s wart when possible.
Acute Kidney Injury
Preventing dehydration, promptly treating serious infections, maintaining appropriate blood pressure and circulation, and avoiding unnecessary exposure to kidney-injuring medicines can reduce risk. People taking medicines that may affect kidney function may require monitoring, particularly during illness or dehydration. Urinary obstruction should be evaluated promptly. Individuals with chronic medical conditions should follow their treatment and monitoring plans.
Risk Factors
Warts
Risk is increased by frequent skin-to-skin contact, sharing towels or personal items, walking barefoot in communal wet areas such as swimming-pool areas and locker rooms, and having damaged or irritated skin. Nail biting or picking around the nails can increase the likelihood of certain warts. Reduced immune function may make warts more likely to develop, persist, or spread.
Acute Kidney Injury
Risk is increased by older age, chronic kidney or heart disease, diabetes, severe infection, dehydration, major surgery, blood loss, low blood pressure, urinary obstruction, and exposure to medicines or substances that can injure the kidneys. Hospitalized and critically ill patients are particularly vulnerable. The risk depends on the severity and duration of the underlying problem.
