The mnemonic AEIOU is used to remember the indications for acute dialysis in patients with a severe AKI:

A – Acidosis (severe and not responding to treatment)

E – Electrolyte abnormalities (severe and unresponsive hyperkalemia)

I – Intoxication (overdose of certain medications)

O – Oedema (severe and unresponsive pulmonary edema)

U – Uremic symptoms such as seizures or reduced consciousness
