ACute Renal Failure (ARF)
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.
no, it cant. has to be either or
Acute nephritis basically is another term for acute renal failure, or ARF. Some cases of kidney stones can lead to acute renal failure, until the stone is passed or extracted.
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 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."
uremia
yes
due to extracellular fluid volume depletion like the case of ascites(loss of intravascular fluid into the extravascular space), renal salt & water wasting states like diarrhea & vomiting
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.
caused by dehydration
yes
