decreased filtration and decreased secretion combine to cause increased plasma potassium. Hyperkalemia is the most significant and life-threatening complication of renal failure
Chronic Renal Failure
The incubation period for acute renal failure is not applicable as it is not an infectious disease. Acute renal failure is usually diagnosed based on the sudden onset of symptoms, such as decreased urine output or swelling in the body. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you suspect you have symptoms of acute renal failure.
ARF is likely referring to Acute Renal Failure
Renal failure (although I'm pretty sure kidney failure would suffice). To be honest, as a medical term Kidney Failure is "medical" enough. If you want to be a bit more medical then you would want to say Renal Failure. And then depending on whether it's acute or chronic then you would want to say Acute Renal Failure or Chronic Renal Failure. End stage renal disease (ESRD) is another term. And just in case you're interested, it used to called Renal Insufficiency but that term is not really used anymore.
yes,Renal failure or kidney failure (formerly called renal insufficiency) describes a medical condition in which thekidneys fail to adequately filter toxins and waste products from the blood. The two forms are acute (acute kidney injury) and chronic (chronic kidney disease); a number of other diseases or health problems may cause either form of renal failure to occur.
Renal failure
The medical adjective for the kidneys is renal. The adjective nephric can also refer to the kidneys and their related tissues.
End stage renal disease is the loss of renal function. Kidney failure is a term more common in lay language.
End-stage renal disease
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.
Kidney failure is the medical term meaning loss of renal function. It may also be called end stage renal disease late in the process.
