Acute Kidney Failure

At Shri Balaji Diagnostics and Polyclinic, we are committed to providing comprehensive care for patients with acute kidney failure, also known as acute renal failure. Our state-of-the-art facilities, advanced diagnostic techniques, and multidisciplinary team of specialists ensure that patients receive the highest standard of care. Acute kidney failure requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent serious complications, and our dedicated team is equipped to handle all aspects of this complex condition.

Understanding Acute Kidney Failure

Acute kidney failure occurs when the kidneys suddenly lose their ability to filter waste products from the blood. This can lead to the accumulation of harmful substances in the body, disrupting the balance of fluids and electrolytes. Acute kidney failure can develop rapidly, often within a few days, and requires immediate medical attention.

Comprehensive Care for Acute Kidney Failure

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Accurate diagnosis is critical for the effective treatment of acute kidney failure. At Shri Balaji Diagnostics and Polyclinic, we utilize advanced diagnostic tools and techniques to assess kidney function and identify the underlying causes of acute kidney failure.

Diagnostic Services Include:

• Blood Tests: To measure levels of creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), electrolytes, and other markers of kidney function.
• Urine Tests: To evaluate urine output and detect abnormalities in urine composition.
• Biopsy: In some cases, a kidney biopsy may be performed to obtain a tissue sample for detailed analysis.

Treatment Options

Treatment for acute kidney failure focuses on addressing the underlying cause, managing symptoms, and preventing complications. Our multidisciplinary team develops personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s specific needs.

Common Treatment Approaches Include:

• Medications: To manage symptoms such as fluid retention, high blood pressure, and electrolyte imbalances. Antibiotics may be prescribed to treat infections.
• Intravenous (IV) Fluids: To restore hydration and improve blood flow to the kidneys.
• Dialysis: In severe cases, dialysis may be required to perform the kidneys’ filtering functions and remove waste products from the blood.
• Dietary Modifications: Nutritional support to manage fluid and electrolyte balance and provide adequate calories and protein.
