When the kidneys fail to function properly, it leads to kidney diseases as well as kidney failure. Diabetes and hypertension are two major reasons for kidney diseases all over the world. The research says that nearly 44 percent of the kidney failure is due to diabetes. You might have controlled your diabetes, yet there are high chances of CKD and kidney failures. It takes years to reach to the stage of kidney failure. Microalbuminuria is the earliest abnormality to oocur in urine before there are abnormalities in blood chemistry.

Acute Renal failure(ARF) is also known as Acute Kidney injury (AKI). The main function of the kidney is to remove the waste from the body and balance the fluids. When the kidney fails to perform this function, it is known as Acute Kidney injury. When the kidney fails to filter the waste from the body, the chemical action of the blood gets imbalanced as the toxins get accumulated in the body. Acute Renal failure can develop over a few hours or in few days. The patient must be immediately hospitalized to find out the cause of this kidney failure and early treatment can ensure complete recovery.
