Acute renal failure is a group of clinical syndromes characterized by a sharp decline in renal function caused by various causes, mainly manifested as elevated serum creatinine levels or urea nitrogen levels, systemic symptoms, and the presence or absence of urine or oliguria in patients with acute renal failure.
Etiology 1 of acute renal failure: If you have the following conditions, the chance of developing acute renal failure is greater: ① older adults; ② Have long-term health problems such as kidney or liver disease, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease or obesity; ③ If the patient is very seriously ill and is admitted to the emergency intensive care unit, undergoing heart surgery, abdominal surgery, or bone marrow transplantation, the likelihood of developing acute kidney failure is greater.
The second cause of acute renal failure: acute obstruction of the urinary system, resulting in the inability of urine to be discharged from the kidney. Kidney stones, tumors, trauma, or prostate enlargement can all cause obstruction.
Damage from food, toxins, and infections. Most patients do not experience kidney problems due to consuming excessive amounts of food, but patients with long-term serious health problems often experience kidney damage due to excessive consumption.
The third cause of acute renal failure is sudden and severe renal hypoperfusion. Massive bleeding, severe injury, and infection can all reduce renal blood perfusion. Insufficient fluid in the body can also cause kidney damage.
