Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Could you please tell me the causes of acute kidney failure?Doctor's answer:
Warmly welcome you to consult. Acute renal failure is a rapid and progressive decline in kidney function caused by various reasons. It can be divided into pre-renal, post-renal, and intrinsic renal types. Pre-renal factors include: insufficient blood volume, such as severe nausea and vomiting, excessive sweating, burns, heavy bleeding, and severe heart failure leading to increased cardiac output. Post-renal factors are often seen in urinary tract obstruction caused by conditions like urinary stones, pyelonephritis, and tumors. Intrinsic renal factors are seen in kidney damage caused by various reasons.
