Acute renal failure with medullary necrosis - what does this mean
Acute renal failure with medullary necrosis is a type of renal failure that occurs when the renal medulla, the inner part of the kidney, is damaged due to a sudden decrease in blood flow to the kidney. this decreased blood flow can be caused by a variety of factors, including dehydration, shock, infection, or certain medications. the resulting damage to the renal medulla can lead to decreased kidney function, which can cause a variety of symptoms such as fatigue, confusion, and decreased urine output.
What happens during the disease - acute renal failure with medullary necrosis
Acute renal failure with medullary necrosis is a condition in which the renal medulla, the innermost layer of the kidney, becomes damaged and necrotic due to a sudden decrease in blood flow. this decrease in blood flow can be caused by a variety of factors, such as dehydration, sepsis, or the use of certain medications. when blood flow to the renal medulla is reduced, the cells in the area become deprived of oxygen and nutrients, leading to cellular death and the formation of necrotic tissue. as a result, the kidney fails to properly filter waste from the blood, leading to a buildup of toxins and electrolytes in the body.
