The correct answer is **dehydration and heart attacks**.

These two conditions can lead to acute kidney injury (AKI) due to decreased blood flow to the kidneys or reduced kidney function. Dehydration decreases blood volume, which can impair kidney perfusion, and heart attacks can reduce cardiac output, leading to a similar effect on kidney blood flow.
