Acute kidney failure

Acute kidney failure
June 27, 2019adminMedical ArticlesUncategorized
  • It is commonly defined as an abrupt decline in renal function, clinically manifesting as a reversible acute increase in nitrogen waste products measured by blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine levels.
  • Acute kidney failure isn’t always permanent. If you get treatment right away and if you don’t have other serious health problems your kidneys may go back to working like normal.

SYMPTOMS:

  • Peeing less than normal
  • Swelling of legs, ankles and feet
  • Feeling tired
  • Loss of appetite
  • Confusion
  • Throwing up or feeling like you’re going to
  • Chest pain
  • Stomach and back pain
  • Fever

CAUSES:

There are three (3) main reasons why kidney fail all of a sudden.

  1. Something is stopping blood flow to your kidney. It could be because of:
  • Infection
  • Liver Failure
  • Heart Failure
  • Severe burns or Dehydration
  • Blood or Fluid loss
  • Medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen or COX-2 inhibitors)
  • Blood pressure medications
  1. You have condition that’s blocking urine from leaving your kidneys. This could mean:
  • Bladder, cervical, colon or prostate cancer
  • Blood clots
  • Enlarged prostate
  • Kidney stones
  • Nerve damage in bladder
  1. Something has directly damaged your kidneys, like:
  • Blood clots
  • Cholesterol deposits
  • Medications that can directly damage kidneys, including NSAIDs like ibuprofen and naproxen, chemotherapy, and antibiotics
