Acute
Acute renal failure is rapidly progressive but may be reversible. It can result from pre-renal, intra-renal or post-renal factors.
- Prerenal factors include ischaemia and reduced renal perfusion
- Intrarenal factors include acute interstitial nephritis and
- Postrenal factors include lower urinary tract obstruction.
Clinical signs include oliguria or anuria, vomiting and anorexia; blood sample analysis shows azotaemia.
