#acute_renal_failure
#chronic_renal_failure
Now more commonly classified as chronic kidney disease and is listed as stages based on the patient's level of #glomerular filtration rate (#GFR) which is a measure of filtering capacity of the #kidneys.
#Stage 1 :- means normal filtering function of the kidney but delineates those patients that are at risk of progressive #renal_disease, such as those with #proteinuria or #hematuria.
# Stage 2 :- is used for patients with a #GFR of 60 to 90 mL per minute.
#Stage 3 :- is used for patients with a #glomerular filtration rate of 30 to 60 mL per minute.
#Stage 4 :- is for patients with a #glomerular filtration rate of 15 to 30 mL per minute.
#Stage 5 :- is for patients with a glomerular filtration rate of less than 15 mL per minute but who are not on #dialysis.
#Stage 6 :- is for patients who have a glomerular filtration rate of less than 15 mL per minute and require #dialysis #intervention for their #renal failure.
Unfortunately, many patients with chronic kidney disease, especially if they reach Stage 4 or Stage 5 will progress to point of end stage renal disease (#ESRD).
which is the point of needing dialysis or renal #transplant. If the patient is started on dialysis, this is #synonymous with chronic kidney disease Stage 6.
Chronic renal failure is in #contrast to acute renal failure. It may also be referred to as #chronic_kidney_failure.
