What Is Renal Failure?
4. Obstruction of Urine Flow
Another cause of acute kidney failure is some sort of blockage either within the kidneys or elsewhere along the renal tract. When urine is unable to flow freely through the ureters and into the bladder, an impediment of some sort might be the first part of a diagnosis.
Kidney stones are a common condition that may stop urine from exiting the body. These mineral buildups are usually passed through urine, but other times they require surgical intervention. An enlarged prostate gland may put pressure on the urinary tract making it impossible for anything to get through appropriately. If nerves in the area are damaged, they may not have the ability to pass urine through.
