yup. one way to classify types of kidney failure is the physical area the problem starts. ill name them and put examples...
Pre-renal (renal means kidney, Pre means before):
- not enough blood flow to kidneys causing cells to die. this can happen by physical obstruction of the vessels or even if the person does not have enough blood left in thier body.
intra-renal (intra means within):
-rhabdomyolysis for example is when by products of muscle get into the functional parts of your kidneys, the bowmans capsule. these by products block up the filtering part of your kidneys, and nothing can pass through, causing build up of toxins in the body.
Post-renal (post means after):
- kidney stones, prostatic hyperplasia (swollen prostate), and any physical obstructions can prevent urine from passing and build up pressure in the kidneys. the kidneys depend on a very delicate balance of physical pressure and osmotic pressure to selectively filter out toxins. a physical blockage can increase the pressure and prevent the kidneys from filtering out toxins. leading to a build up in the body. the increased pressure can also damage the kidney, so after the blockage is cleared, some damage can be done.
To be clear, it would have to be one hell of a kidney stone! most pass very painfully, but they do pass.

Do your eyes change color when kidneys fail?
Yes, the whites of your eyes and your skin will have a yellowish color to them if your kidneys fail. This is known as jaundice, and the yellow color is from bilirubin, which is a breakdown product of heme (a principle part of red blood cells). Bilirubin is formed when the liver breaks down the heme. Heme is then normally removed by the kidneys and is passed by the urine, but if the kidneys are not functioning, the heme, along with other waste products, will make their way back into the bloodstream.

What is renal failer?
Renal failure is when your kidneys stop working, usually through disease. The kidneys remove waste products from your blood and pass them on to the bladder as urine. If kidneys stop working, the blood fills up with waste products, which in large quantities are poisonous. You can die from kidney failure unless you do something to clean your blood. The way you can clean your blood if your kidneys have failed is to use a Dialysis machine,which filters blood and does the same work as kidneys.
