Acute renal failure with acute cortical necrosis - what does this mean
Acute renal failure with acute cortical necrosis is a medical condition in which the renal cortex, or outer layer of the kidney, undergoes rapid and severe damage, leading to a sudden decrease in kidney function. this can be caused by a variety of factors, such as a decrease in blood flow to the kidneys, an infection, or a reaction to certain medications.
What happens during the disease - acute renal failure with acute cortical necrosis
Acute renal failure with acute cortical necrosis is a condition in which there is sudden and severe damage to the kidney's ability to filter blood and excrete waste products. this damage is usually caused by a reduction in blood flow to the kidneys due to a decrease in blood pressure, trauma, or infection. the lack of blood flow leads to a decrease in oxygen and nutrients in the kidneys, which causes the death of the cells in the renal cortex, resulting in acute cortical necrosis.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete blood count
- Urine analysis
- Imaging tests such as X-ray, ultrasound, CT scan, and MRI
- Kidney biopsy
- Renal function tests such as creatinine, urea, and electrolyte levels
- Urinalysis
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) to check for any heart abnormalities
- Blood tests to check for markers of kidney damage
- Renal angiography to assess the blood supply to the kidneys
