Acute Kidney Failure Health Center

Living with acute kidney failure takes diligence and dedication as well as promptness to receive proper medical attention before the condition transitions to a chronic or long lasting one. 

It is important to remember that a blunt force trauma is not the only way the condition can be caused. Reactions to certain medications, heart failure, infections, enlarged prostate, urinary stones, bladder cancers and obstructions in the urethra can also cause acute kidney failure. If you have any of the above factors and experience symptoms such as headache, fatigue, nausea and loss of appetite, seek medical attention.

Recovering from the trauma of acute kidney failure may require the assistance of others. Incorporate loved ones into your new healthy lifestyle in order to stick to it in a more permanent manner. Eat foods high in fiber and low in fats and focus on limiting your intake of potassium, protein and sodium. Consult your doctor on additional preventative measures as to avoid further kidney injury and restore the health and balance to your organs.
