Acute kidney failure refers to a decline in kidney function that occurs over days to weeks. Toxic substances that the kidneys are responsible for filtering begin to accumulate in the blood, and the amount of urine may decrease.
Symptoms:
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea/vomiting
- Weakness
- Muscle twitching
- Loss of consciousness/drowsiness
Treatment:
For patients who come to the Internal Medicine Department with acute kidney failure, treatment targeting the cause is given after a detailed physical examination and laboratory tests/imaging studies. Fluid and mineral balance is closely monitored. Hemodialysis may be needed in some cases.
