Acute renal failure is the sudden loss of the kidneys ability to function; affecting more than 100‚000 people in the United States alone each year (NIDDK‚ 2008). This paper will discuss the basic pathophysiology of acute renal failure‚ including its cause‚ disease mechanisms‚ symptoms‚ some of the treatments and pharmacological therapies. Pathophysiology Acute renal failure (ARF) is the rapid loss of kidney function occurring when high levels of uremic toxins accumulate in the blood
Premium Kidney Nephrology Renal failure
Acute renal failure (ARF)‚ also know as Acute Kidney Injury/Impairment (AKI) is described as a condition where there is a rapid decline in kidney function which results in an increase in accumulation of waste materials in the body and decreased urine output‚ usually over hours to weeks‚ occurring in a person with or without a previous pre-existing renal disease (Van Biesen‚ W.‚ Vanholder‚ R.‚ & Lameire‚ N.‚ 2006). Acute loss of renal function can be due to poor perfusion to the kidneys‚ called prerenal

GENERAL APPROACHES FOR DOSE ADJUSTMENT IN RENAL DISEASE Renal insufficiency can markedly alter one or more of the pharmacokinetic parameters of a drug including oral bioavailability‚ volume of distribution‚ drug binding to plasma proteins‚ and most importantly the rates of metabolism and excretion‚ i.e.‚ drug clearance.. To minimize drug toxicity and maximize therapeutic benefits‚ it is often necessary to adjust drug dosage in proportion to the degree of renal insufficiency. A drug will most likely

Renal failure can be caused by many different factors. Something that would cause a failure would be impaired blood flow to the kidney. Ways this could happen could be: blood or fluid loss blood pressure medications‚ heart attack‚ heart disease‚ infection‚ liver failure‚ use of aspirin‚ ibuprofen (Advil‚ Motrin IB‚ others)‚ naproxen (Aleve‚ others) or related drugs‚ severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis)‚ severe burns‚ or severe dehydration. Another way renal failure could occur is if there is direct

kidney disease. Patients with end stage renal disease will require either transplantation or dialysis. With the rising cost of health care‚ peritoneal dialysis has been identified as being potentially more cost effective than in-center hemodialysis‚ but it is not the treatment of choice by most doctors for their patients. Treatment of end stage renal disease is challenged by cost‚ quality and access to health. Major reimbursement mechanisms End stage renal disease causes a significant burden on

Abstract Scenario A Acute renal failure: Ms. Jones’s‚ an elder female of 68 years‚ has undergone open-heart surgery to restore a number of obstructed vessels in her heart. On her first day postoperatively‚ it is charted that she has oliguria. Acute Renal Failure I will describe what is happening to Ms. Jones kidneys and why it is causing the practical symptoms and other symptoms that may arise. I will also give details as to what is causing Ms. Jones kidney disease and potential treatments
