What Is Chronic Kidney Failure? What Causes Chronic Kidney Disease?
Although acute renal failure is potentially life threatening. The prognosis of it is closely connected to the primary disease, complication, severity of renal failure. If Acute Renal Failure can be treated properly and timely, kidney function may be recovered in several weeks. Before kidney function is repaired, dialysis is usually needed.
Some hemodialysis centers reports show that the death rate is 34-65%. The death rate of patients with acute kidney failure in the department of obstetrics is low. People with serious burns and sepsis have high risk of death. People with hemorrhagic pancreatitis, serious cerebral haemorrhage, myocardial infarction accompany with acute kidney failure also have high risk of death.
Prognosis of chronic kidney failure (chronic kidney disease)
1. Promote the self-repairing of damaged kidney cells.
The factors that can affect prognosis of chronic kidney failure
Primary kidney disease
Various infections, including the common ones respiratory tract infection and UTI
Urinary tract obstruction: it is often accompanied with UTI.
Medication which are toxic to kidneys
Kidney hypoperfusion caused by various reasons such as severe vomit, shock caused by diarrhea, hypotension, long-term overuse of diuretic.
Heart failure
Imbalance of water and electrolyte
Severe hypertension cause kidney damages
The overall death rate increases as kidney function decreases. The leading cause of death in patients with chronic kidney failure is cardiovascular disease, regardless of whether there is progression to stage 5. If people get proper treatment earlier, the prognosis of renal failure will be better.
Chronic kidney failure, also known as chronic renal failure, chronic renal disease, or chronic kidney disease, is a slow progressive loss of kidney function over a period of several years. Eventually the patient has permanent kidney failure. Chronic kidney failure is much more common than people realize, and often goes undetected and undiagnosed until the disease is well advanced and kidney failure is fairly imminent. It is not unusual for people to realize they have chronic kidney failure only when their kidney function is down to 25% of normal. As kidney failure advances and the organ’s function is seriously impaired, dangerous levels of waste and fluid can rapidly build up in the body. Treatment is aimed at stopping or slowing down the progression of the disease – this is usually done by controlling its underlying cause. If chronic kidney failure ends in end-stage kidney disease, the patient will not survive without dialysis (artificial filtering) or a kidney transplant. According t
