Does acute renal failure cause lasting problems?
About half the time, doctors can fix the problems that cause kidney failure in a few days or weeks. These people’s kidneys will work well enough for them to live normal lives. But other people may have permanent kidney damage that leads to chronic kidney disease . Older people and those who are very sick from other health problems may not get better. People who die usually do so because of the health problem that caused their kidneys to fail.
