What Are the Treatments for Acute Renal Failure?
Acute renal failure is the sudden inability of the kidneys to remove waste products from the body and concentrate urine without losing electrolytes and causing dysfunction in the organ systems. This can happen because of an autoimmune disease, burns, septic shock, serious illness or surgery, malignant hypertension, transfusion reactions or as a secondary effect of pregnancy. The three stages of failure begin with acute renal failure, followed by chronic failure and end-stage renal failure.
