Acute renal failure:

  1. Renal failure is a condition in which kidneys do not function adequately.
  2. Acute renal failure occurs when the kidney abruptly ceases to filter blood.
  3. It is a sudden and often transitory loss of kidney function that can be so severe that RRT is required until kidney functions improve.
  4. Although acute renal failure can be reversed, it has a significant fatality rate.
  5. Shocks, medications, chemotherapeutic agents, toxins and poisons, as well as the use of dyes in various X-rays, are all potential causes.
  6. It causes severe dehydration and the quick release of potassium-containing substances from muscle cells.
  7. Kidney function ceases unless body fluid and blood pressure are immediately adjusted, as well as frequent hemodialysis availability.
