To analyze the published scientific evidence on the impacts of the development of acute kidney injury in patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit. The present study is a literature review of the integrative literature review method, carried out in the months between August 2021 and January 2022. The search was carried out through the Virtual Health Library Platform - VHL, using the LILACS databases , BDENF, through SCIELO, using the descriptors and words/keys: “Nursing Care”, “Acute Kidney Injury”, “ICU”, combined with the Boolean operator “AND”. Acute kidney injury has a significant representation in the morbidity and mortality of patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and is associated with worse outcomes even after hospital discharge. Critical patients are more susceptible to developing it, mainly due to clinical instability and previous risk factors, such as advanced age, sepsis, hypovolemia, surgeries, use of nephrotoxic drugs, among others. The nurse who plays the role of critical patient care has the duty to monitor, analyze and identify the development of AKI. The early identification of AKI, or rather, the determination of related factors or the definition of defining characteristics allow establishing the first guidelines for nursing care. The nursing team that assists a patient in intensive care must have, above all, a commitment to the profession signaled by the safe care of human life, because even those assisted patients are predisposed to the development of AKI and worsening of the clinical picture, prognosis and outcome.
