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."

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."
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.
Acute renal failure is a rapid and sudden loss of kidney function, often caused by factors like dehydration or medication reactions. Chronic renal failure is a gradual and irreversible decline in kidney function over time, usually causing irreversible damage to the kidneys. Measurements of kidney function such as creatinine levels and glomerular filtration rate can help differentiate between the two conditions.
* Acute kidney failure * Chronic kidney failure * End-stage kidney disease * High blood pressure * Congestive heart failure * Pulmonary edema * Chronic glomerulonephritis * Nephrotic syndrome
right-sided heart failure, when the right ventricle is hypertrophied or dilated which is secondary to pulmonary hypertension (usu. d/t pulmonary embolism in acute cor pulmonale, but d/t COPD in chronic cor pulmonale)
The prognosis for mild or chronic neutropenia is excellent. Recovery from acute neutropenia depends on the severity of the patient's infection and the promptness of treatment.
As far as I know there are many causes of hypertension (high blood pressure); but as far as types of hyper tension--I believe there are only chronic (long term pathological) and acute (sudden onset, or unusual presentation of).
'Acute' means sudden onset or short course, as opposed to 'chronic' which means long duration or frequent recurrence.
