What Is Renal Failure?
Renal failure, also known as kidney failure, occurs when the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood. Without timely treatment, toxins can build up in the body, leading to serious health complications.
At Prabhakar Bhurke Clinic, renal failure is managed with a patient-centered and evidence-based approach under the care of a super specialist nephrologist.
Types of Renal Failure
Renal failure is broadly classified into:
-
Acute Renal Failure (Acute Kidney Injury – AKI): Sudden loss of kidney function that may be reversible with early treatment
-
Chronic Renal Failure (Chronic Kidney Disease – CKD): Gradual and irreversible decline in kidney function over time
Identifying the type and stage of renal failure is essential for selecting the right treatment plan.
Common Causes of Renal Failure
-
Long-standing diabetes
-
Uncontrolled high blood pressure
-
Chronic kidney infections
-
Glomerular diseases
