Acute Renal Failure
How is Acute Renal Failure diagnosed?

Text

Acute Renal Failure is usually diagnosed using blood and urine tests to monitor kidney function. Tests may include blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine, complete blood count (CBC), and a urinalysis.

A chemistry screen may be used to look for abnormalities in electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium, and calcium.

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?

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.
