Acute kidney failure occurs when your kidneys suddenly stop working. Acute renal failure is a term used by doctors to describe this condition. It might happen in hours or days.

Acute renal failure may not usually mean permanent kidney failure. Your kidneys can return to normal function if you get treatment right away and don't have any other major health problems.

Your kidneys' primary function is to filter waste from your blood. They help manage blood pressure by removing excess fluid from your blood (which becomes urine). Kidneys help in the production of red blood cells. They also activate vitamin D and control electrolytes (a type of nutrient).

Symptoms of Kidney Failure

If you do experience symptoms, they will vary depending on the severity of your kidney failure, how rapidly you lose kidney function and the causes of your kidney failure. Among the signs and symptoms are:

  • Peeing less frequently than usual

  • Legs, ankles, and feet are swollen (caused by your body holding on to fluid)

  • Feeling sleepy or exhausted

  • Breathing problems

  • Itching

  • Swelling and discomfort in the joints

  • Appetite loss.

  • Confusion

  • Feeling like you're going to vomit

  • Pain or pressure in the chest

  • twitching of muscles

  • Tremors or coma (in severe cases)

  • Back and stomach ache

  • Fever

  • Rash

  • Nosebleed

Causes of Kidney Failure

A physical injury or a condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or other disorders can cause kidney damage. Kidney failure is most commonly caused by high blood pressure and diabetes.

Kidney failure is a gradual process. It's the result of kidney function deterioration over time. Some people are completely unaware that they have the renal disease until their kidneys fail. Why? Because early kidney disease may present with no symptoms. Symptoms frequently appear late in the disease's development.

Best Alternative Treatment To Transplant Using Regenerative Medicines

Stem cell therapy is known to be the best alternative treatment for surgeries, transplants, and dialysis since stem cells are anti-inflammatory and effective for treating inflammation, which helps in the reduction of symptoms for many chronic diseases, including CKD. Anti-inflammatory chemicals and medications help in the decrease of inflammation, which promotes healing.

Stem cell therapy for kidney failure involves the following benefits:

  • Expanded filtration allows the kidneys to pass more liquid without difficulty

  • Helps in the control of creatine levels in the body

  • Helps in the regulation of mineral and salt levels in the body

  • Chronic renal disease progression significantly slowed

Get your stem cell therapy treatment from Shifa Rejuvenation Clinic because it is Pakistan's first healthcare provider to use stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine to treat a variety of conditions, including neurological problems and autoimmune diseases.

Shifa Rejuvenation offers treatments using an umbilical cord, amniotic stem cells, and platelet-rich plasma injections. The Drug Regulatory Agency of Pakistan (DRAP) verifies its treatments to ensure that patients receive high-quality care.
