Chronic Kidney Disease vs. Acute Renal Failure
The sudden and dramatic loss of kidney
functioning is known as Acute kidney failure.
This condition doesnt take more than a few days
to develop our kidneys responsibility to filter
and flush out wastes in the form of urine. It
helps in maintaining fluid levels in our bodies.
A person is experiencing acute kidney failure
losses the functionality of their kidney by 10
compared to a normal human being. As a result,
sites like creatinine and nitrogen accumulate in
the bloodstream. If this accumulation is not
treated on time, it can result in a major decline
in health.
What causes acute renal failure?

• Various reasons might result in Acute renal
  failure, such as
• An external injury caused by an accident that can
  damage vital organs such as kidneys.
• Consumption of certain antibiotics and medication
  beyond a set limit.
• A kidney infarction that gradually captures the
  entire kidney can result in renal failure.
• Any obstruction or blockage in the renal tract
  might result in acute kidney failure. The urinary
  tract is majorly blocked due to tumors or kidney
  stones. Any blockage in the renal artery cuts off
  the supply of oxygen, ultimately leading to a
  sudden decline in the functioning of the kidney.

A sudden drop in the blood pressure caused by a
traumatic or shocking experience can result in
reduced blood flow. It is ultimately affecting
the flow of oxygen and results in kidney failure.
A visible decrease in urine is one of the most
common symptoms of renal kidney failurealmost
70 of the cases suffering from renal kidney
failure experience a sudden decline in urine
flow. A person suffering from acute kidney
failure generates 16 ounces of urine per day
compared to an average adult who urinates between
34 to 50 ounces per day. Due to low urine
output, a person experiences swelling on the
lower legs due to fluid retention in their body.
Since our body cannot discard waste, there are
several things that an acute renal disease
patient faces. Some of the symptoms are

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Feeling drowsy
• Lack of attention,
• Decreased sensation in the hands and feet.
• To diagnose acute kidney failure, a doctor can do
  some basic blood and urine test.

What is the treatment of acute kidney failure?
Often acute renal failure is directly dependent
upon various external things. A well-qualified
doctor will always try to treat any reversible
illnesses caused by renal failure. Medication is
preferred to deal with any type of infection.
Removing tumors or kidney stones is important.
It takes time to treat the actual causes of acute
renal failure. Due to renal failure, our body
losses the ability to remove waste from our
bloodstream. Often dialysis is suggested for
those who fail to filter their blood flow.
Acute renal failure can result in high levels of
potassium. This condition is known as
hyperkalemia. To control potassium levels. A low
protein, salt, and potassium diet are suggested
to maintain electrolyte balance. A restricted
fluid intake is recommended.
How to prevent Acute kidney failure?
The best way to avoid acute kidney failure is by
taking small steps to maintain a healthy life.
You are aware of the risk involved with surgery
or any complication that might occur during the
treatment. Its necessary to check the urine
output and follow the instructions. Maintaining
an open communication channel with your
healthcare provider is important.

Chronic Kidney Disease

• The presence of kidney damage for more than three
  months is known as Chronic kidney disease (CKD).
  Several categories define kidney damage, such as
  albuminuria, urine casts, imaging findings, or
  abnormal renal biopsy. Diseases such as diabetes
  or hypertension, when faced for a long time,e
  result in CKD.
• Most patients with chronic kidney diseases dont
  experience any clinical symptoms in the initial
  phase of the disease. Kidney disease can be
  detected by tests done in the laboratory, which
  are collected over time through regular
  screening. The stages of CKD are best explained
  as a continuum and are classified as follows
• Stage 1 Normal or increased GFR causing kidney
  damage (gt90 mL/min/1.73 m2)
• Stage 2 Mild GFR reduction (60-89 mL/min/1.73
  m2)
• Stage 3a Moderate GFR reduction (45-59
  mL/min/1.73 m2)
• Stage 3b Moderate GFR reduction (30-44
  mL/min/1.73 m2)
• Stage 4 Severe GFR reduction (15-29 mL/min/1.73
  m2)
• Stage 5 Kidney failure (GFR lt 15 mL/min/1.73 m2
  or dialysis)

Acute Kidney Injury Chronic Kidney Disease
Onset Sudden Slow process ( Takes at least 5-6 months)
Causes Acute tubular necrosisPre Renal Disease Obstruction in the Urinary tract Hypertension DiabeticNephrotoxinPolycystic kidney disease. 
Symptoms  Shortness of breath, hematuria, edema, Low or no urine volume.Dehydration, pain in patients with obstruction.Many patients have no symptoms Weakness, fatigue, anorexia, edema, nausea/vomiting, decreased urine outputUntil CKD is advanced, many patients are asymptomatic
Reversibility Usually reversible Irreversible, progressive
Treatment Identify the etiologyHypotension, volume depletion, or urinary tract obstruction are reversible causes that can be treated.To minimize new injury, remove any nephrotoxic medicationsSymptoms such as fluid overload, acidemia, and hyperkalemia must be identified and treated Optimally manage the underlying disease processRemove any nephrotoxic medicationsMonitor and correct water and electrolyte imbalanceRegulation of blood pressure to low-normal valuesTreat renal anemia and osteopathy

Acute kidney failure and Chronic kidney disease
treatment in Ayurveda

• Acute kidney failure treatment In Ayurveda and
  Chronic kidney disease treatment in Ayurveda are
  somewhat the same in both cases. We are targeting
  the same body part. By detecting and managing its
  primary cause, Chronic kidney disease is
  controlled, i.e., treating diabetes, high blood
  pressure, kidney stones, etc.
• Medications are prescribed to control blood
  potassium levels.
• To treat anemia, ayurvedic herbs are prescribed.
• To minimize waste products in the blood, a
  low-protein diet
• Due to Vata dosha vitiation, people face this
  health condition.
• One of the best lines of treatment is known as
  Basti karma.

You need to know everything about chronic kidney
diseases and acute renal failure. Whats
important is to understand that both of these
diseases are often seen as two different health
conditions. In some recent research, it has been
declared that a person suffering from Acute Renal
Failure might develop chronic kidney disease over
a time when a person suffering from chronic
kidney disease can also have Acute renal failure.
What matters is that you get yourself regularly
checked. These diseases dont reflect any
symptoms in the initial phases and need some
special care to avoid unwanted complications.
