(N17.9) Acute renal failure, unspecified

Acute renal failure, unspecified, is a sudden loss of kidney function caused by a variety of factors, including dehydration, certain medications, or infections. it can also be caused by low blood pressure, blocked blood vessels, or decreased blood flow to the kidneys. symptoms include decreased urine output, fatigue, confusion, and swelling in the feet, ankles, and face. treatment typically involves replacing lost fluids and electrolytes, as well as restoring blood flow to the kidneys.

Acute renal failure is caused by a sudden decrease in kidney function, leading to a buildup of waste products and fluid in the body. this can occur due to a variety of causes, including dehydration, drug toxicity, sepsis, and obstruction of the urinary tract. the kidneys are unable to filter out toxins and excess fluid, resulting in a buildup of toxins in the blood and fluid retention. this can lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, decreased urine output, fatigue, confusion, and swelling. if left untreated, acute renal failure can lead to serious complications and even death.
