What Are the Types and Causes of Acute Renal Failure?
Acute Renal Failure is a sudden decline of the kidney functions, indicated by a high buildup of toxins in the blood. If kidneys cannot function, they cannot filter the toxins out of body. Therefore, toxins begin to build up in the body, affecting the kidneys and other organs.
There are three types of Acute Renal Failure--Prerenal, Intrinsic and Postrenal.
Prerenal failure occurs when there is insufficient blood circulation to keep the kidneys functioning normally, causing oxygen deficit. This type of failure is very common in patients who are already seriously ill. Typical causes include heart failure, shock or very low blood pressure or trauma. This type of failure is more commonly associated with pre-existing conditions, such as heart disease.
Intrinsic failure is the most common type of acute renal failure. These patients may already have some type of kidney disease, such as glomerulonephritis. However, intrinsic failure can also be caused by certain medications and dyes used in X-ray procedures as well.
Postrenal failure is caused by a blockage that affects the normal flow. The buildup of fluids and toxins ultimately causes the kidneys to shut down. Causes include kidney stones and traumatic injuries to the kidneys.
