Acute Renal Failure (ARF) occurs most often in people who are already hospitalized for other medical conditions.
ARF develops from 5% to 7% of all patients in the hospital. Of those hospitalized in intensive or critical care units, up to 30% develop ARF. Factors that increase a person's risk of Acute Renal Failure include advanced age, chronic renal insufficiency, liver disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart failure, and obesity. People having heart surgery and abdominal surgery also have an increased risk. |

Posted on: 02/24/2012 My father aged 70 is running high creatinine [2.6 against a normal value of 1.4] and potassium (6 against a normal value of 5). He had been a patient of high blood pressure and Sugar for the last 10 years. Is it an indication of Acute Renal Failure? He is to undergo USG of Kidney, BUN, Lipid Profile and Urine RE tomorrow.
Can he be cured?

Posted on: 04/13/2011 Having Developed ARF during pregnancy does increase your chance of having renal problem during your subsequent pregnancy but under good care you of a nephrologist it can be managed well. details would be required about your previous pregnancy to get a full picture of etilogy of ARF. |
