What Is Kidney Failure?
2. Acute Kidney Failure
Acute kidneys disease happens relatively suddenly. This can mean that the levels of waste will also accumulate suddenly, and the patient’s symptoms will advance rapidly. This means that acute kidney failure tends to be more dangerous than chronic kidney failure is, but it can still be treated in many cases.
Acute kidney failure can be caused by factors like physical damage to the kidneys from an injury. It can also be caused if the flow of blood to the kidneys is impeded. Complications that prevent the blood from flowing freely out of the kidneys are another potential underlying cause of the condition.
