What are the complications of Acute Renal Failure? |

Text 
|
The complications of Acute Renal Failure (ARF) can affect the entire body, including the digestive system, heart, lungs, and nervous system.
Infection is one of the most common complications of ARF, because the body's immune system may stop working properly. Uremic syndrome (uremia) is a serious complication of severe or prolonged Acute Renal Failure. It can cause severe nausea, confusion, psychosis, irregular heart beats, and pulmonary edema (fluid in lungs). Increased potassium in the blood - due to inability to filter and excrete the electrolytes properly. |

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. |
