    Acute renal failure is a urinary disorder where the kidneys rapidly lose the ability to filter waste from the blood within days. It is a major medical concern worldwide as it can be caused by volume depletion, impaired cardiac function, vasodilation, prolonged renal ischemia, nephrotoxic agents, infectious processes, or urinary tract obstructions. Risk factors include advanced age, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart or liver disease, cancer treatments, and kidney disease. Diagnosis involves urine and blood tests as well as imaging, while treatment focuses on diet, medications, dialysis, and addressing the underlying cause. Complications can include fluid buildup, chest pain, weakness, permanent kidney damage, and death if not properly managed

    BLOOD
    • DEVELOPS RAPIDLY, USUALLY LESS THAN A FEW DAYS
    • A HUGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WORLDWIDE ARE SUFFERING FROM ACUTE
    RENAL FAILURE AND THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING MEDICAL CONCERN FOR
    SOME PEOPLE.
    • IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR US TO KNOW ABOUT THE CAUSES, SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS,
    AND RISK FACTORS OF ACUTE RENAL FAILURE NOT TO MENTION THE
    PREVENTIVE MEASURES AND TREATMENT NEEDED FOR THE SAID URINARY
