In layman terms, acute renal failure is generally caused by something that is obstructing the flow of the urine, if the urine can not get out toxins and waste that are filtered out in the kidneys can go into the blood and spinal fluid going to the brain and can cause encephalopathy.

How NSAIDS cause renal failure?
NSAIDS can induce two forms of acute renal failure: 1. Haemodynamically mediated 2. Acute interstitial nephritis Haemodynamically mediated: Renal prostaglandins are vasodilators, but do not play a major role in renal haemodynamics in healthy patients and the basal rate is relatively low. When there is underlying disease, such as heart failure, cirrhosis or volume depletion, the levels of hormone: PGs are increased and they act as vasodilators to ensure adequate renal flow and GFR. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis with an NSAID in such patients can lead to reversible renal ischemia, a ↓ in GFR and acute renal failure. NSAIDs also produce interstitial nephritis with or without nephrotic syndrome secondary to minimal change disease. Although this presents as acute renal failure, it can progress in some cases to chronic renal failure. NSAIDs increase the risk of developing heart failure in patients with a history of HTN, DM or renal failure, particularly in the first month of use.
What is the difference between acute renal failure and chronic renal failure?
The difference between acute renal (kidney) failure and chronic kidney failure, is that acute is a sudden onset. Something like a medical condition, trama, or surgery can cause the failure within days or even hrs. Chrinic kidney failure is slow damage to the kidney over a few years, resulting in the kidneys not being able to filter blood properly.
What acute means?
Acute means "now", "immediate", "current". Acute is often found as a description of a medical problem. For example, "The patient was admitted for acute renal failure." If the condition is not acute, it it chronic. For example, "The patient received a diagnosis of chronic renal failure."
