10. When to See a Doctor

Since most people are already hospitalized when they develop acute renal failure, they are already under a doctor’s care. However, should the person begin to exhibit the signs of the condition, it is imperative to notify a healthcare provider right away.

For those who aren’t hospitalized, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible if they begin experiencing the symptoms of acute kidney failure. People in high-risk categories should be sure to remain alert to changes in their health condition and contact their doctor if the condition worsens.
