Renal failure, also kidney failure, is dysfunction of the kidneys.
It can be subdivided in a number of different ways.
Acutity
- Acute renal failure (ARF).
- Chronic renal failure (CRF).
Acute renal failure
Chronic renal failure
- Diabetic nephropathy (diabetes mellitus).
- IgA nephropathy.
- Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
- Lupus nephritis (systemic lupus erythematosus).
- Wegener's granulomatosis.
Anatomical cause
- Pre-renal.
- Renal.
- Post-renal.
Pre-renal
- Hypotension due to blood loss (e.g. blunt force trauma, sharp force trauma, gunshot wound).
- Reduced cardiac output, e.g. myocardial infarction.
- Renal artery stenosis.
Renal
Post-renal
- Nodular hyperplasia of the prostate.
- Obstruction due to abdominal malignancy.
- Posterior urethral valves.
