For those who suffer kidney disease, you will know how critical it is to prevent kidney failure. Kidney disease can be both temporary and permanent. This can be known as acute kidney failure/acute renal failure or chronic kidney failure.
The difference between acute and chronic renal failure
With acute kidney failure, function of the kidneys is rapidly lost, and can occur from many stresses on the body, most of which are related to diet. Others are indirectly related to diet, being brought on by another disease or illness. There are many different classifications of acute kidney disease and is generalised into the following categories:
Common Pre-renal Causes of Kidney Disease
dehydration from excess fluid loss (diarrhoea, flu, gastroenteritis, sweating)
dehydration from lack of fluid intake
hypovolemia from excess blood loss
obstruction of kidney arteries and veins causing inconsistent blood flow
pain killers, other medication and excess sodium/potassium/protein
Common Post-renal Causes of Renal Failure
Having any restriction in the bladder can cause back-flow to the kidneys. This can cause a series of events, from infection to completely damaging the kidneys due to the excess pressure.
Blockages, cysts, tumours in the abdomen can form obstructions around the ureters.
