Answer 1

The type of kidney disease that progresses most quickly is **AKI (Acute Kidney Injury)**. AKI occurs suddenly and can lead to rapid deterioration of kidney function, whereas CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) is a gradual process that progresses over a longer period. PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) is also a progressive condition but typically develops over years. ARF (Acute Renal Failure) is an outdated term that is often used interchangeably with AKI, as it also refers to a rapid decline in kidney function. Therefore, in terms of quick progression, AKI is the correct answer.
