Acute renal failure (ARF) is the sudden loss of kidney function. The body retains fluid and harmful waste builds up. A person with acute renal failure often requires hemodialysis while the cause of the problem is being found and/or treated. Some causes of acute renal failure can be corrected and the kidneys begin working again.
