Renal failure or kidney failure is a situation in which the kidneys fail to function adequately.

Biochemically, it is typically detected by an elevated serum creatinine. Creatinine is a break-down product of Creatine phosphate in Muscle, and is usually produced at a fairly constant rate by the body (depending on muscle mass In the science of physiology, renal failure is described as a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate.

When the kidneys malfunction, problems frequently encountered are abnormal fluid levels in the body, deranged acid levels, abnormal levels of potassium, calcium, phosphate, hematuria (blood in the urine) and (in the longer term) anemia.

Classification
Renal failure can broadly be divided into two categories: acute renal failure and chronic kidney disease. In Medicine, an acute disease is a disease with either or both of a rapid onset a short course (as opposed to a chronic course Chronic kidney disease (CKD also known as chronic renal disease, is a progressive loss of renal function over a period of months or years

The type of renal failure (acute vs. Chronic kidney disease (CKD also known as chronic renal disease, is a progressive loss of renal function over a period of months or years Acute renal failure ( ARF) also known as acute kidney failure or acute kidney injury, is a rapid loss of Renal function due to damage to the chronic) is determined by the trend in the serum creatinine. Other factors which may help differentiate acute and chronic kidney disease include the presence of anemia and the kidney size on ultrasound. Anemia ( AmE) or anæmia/anaemia ( BrE) (from the Ancient Greek grc-Latn anaîmia, meaning “without blood” is defined as a qualitative Long-standing, i. e. chronic, kidney disease generally leads to anemia and small kidney size.
Acute renal failure
Acute renal failure (ARF) is, as the name implies, a rapidly progressive loss of renal function, generally characterized by oliguria (decreased urine production, quantified as less than 400 mL per day in adults,[1] less than 0. Acute renal failure ( ARF) also known as acute kidney failure or acute kidney injury, is a rapid loss of Renal function due to damage to the Acute renal failure ( ARF) also known as acute kidney failure or acute kidney injury, is a rapid loss of Renal function due to damage to the Renal function, in Nephrology, is an indication of the state of the Kidney and its role in Renal physiology. Oliguria and anuria are the decreased or absent production of Urine, respectively Urine is a liquid waste product of the body secreted by the Kidneys by a process of filtration from Blood and Excreted through the Urethra. The litre or liter (see spelling differences) is a unit of Volume. 5 mL/kg/h in children or less than 1 mL/kg/h in infants); body water and body fluids disturbances; and electrolyte derangement. In medicine body water is all of the Water content of the Human body. An electrolyte is any substance containing free Ions that behaves as an electrically conductive medium An underlying cause must be identified to arrest the progress, and dialysis may be necessary to bridge the time gap required for treating these fundamental causes. In Medicine, dialysis (from Greek "dialusis" meaning dissolution "dia" meaning through and "lusis" meaning loosening is primarily ARF can result from a large number of causes.
Chronic kidney disease
Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) can either develop slowly and show few initial symptoms, be the long term result of irreversible acute disease or be part of a disease progression. Chronic kidney disease (CKD also known as chronic renal disease, is a progressive loss of renal function over a period of months or years Chronic kidney disease (CKD also known as chronic renal disease, is a progressive loss of renal function over a period of months or years There are many causes of CKD. The most common cause is diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus (ˌdaɪəˈbiːtiːz or /ˌdaɪəˈbiːtəs/ /məˈlaɪtəs/ or /ˈmɛlətəs/ often referred to simply as diabetes ( Ancient Greek: grc Stage 1 CKD is mildly diminished renal function, with few overt symptoms. Stage 5 CKD is a severe illness and requires some form of renal replacement therapy (dialysis or kidney transplant). Chronic kidney disease (CKD also known as chronic renal disease, is a progressive loss of renal function over a period of months or years In Medicine, dialysis (from Greek "dialusis" meaning dissolution "dia" meaning through and "lusis" meaning loosening is primarily Kidney transplantation or renal transplantation is the Organ transplant of a Kidney in a patient with End-stage renal disease.
Acute on chronic renal failure
Acute renal failure can be present on top of chronic renal failure. This is called acute-on-chronic renal failure (AoCRF). The acute part of AoCRF may be reversible and the aim of treatment, as with ARF, is to return the patient to their baseline renal function, which is typically measured by serum creatinine. Creatinine is a break-down product of Creatine phosphate in Muscle, and is usually produced at a fairly constant rate by the body (depending on muscle mass AoCRF, like ARF, can be difficult to distinguish from chronic renal failure, if the patient has not been monitored by a physician and no baseline (i. A physician, medical practitioner or medical doctor who practices Medicine, and is concerned with maintaining or restoring human Health e. , past) blood work is available for comparison.
Use of the term uremia
Before the advancement of modern medicine, renal failure was often referred to as uremic poisoning. Uremia was the term used to describe the contamination of the blood with urine. Starting around 1847, this term was used to describe reduced urine output, that was thought to be caused by the urine mixing with the blood instead of being voided through the urethra. The term uremia is now used to loosely describe the illness accompanying kidney failure. Uremia is a term used to loosely describe the illness accompanying kidney failure (also called renal failure [2]
