6.  Acute Renal Failure (ARF) -Prerenal -Renal -Post-renal  -Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) and End-Stage Renal Failure

7.  Hypovolemia  Dehydration  Poor intake of fluids  Medication  Loss of blood supply to the kidney

8.  Sepsis  Medications  Rhabdomyolysis  Multiple Myeloma  Acute Glomerulonephritis

10.  Obstruction of the bladder or ureters  Prostate cancer or hypertrophy  Tumors in the abdomen  Kidney stones

11. Most Common  Poorly Controlled Diabetes  Poorly Controlled High BP  Chronic Glomerulonephritis Less Common  Polycystic Kidney Disease  Reflux Nephropathy  Kidney Stones  Prostate Disease

12.  Metabolic Acidosis  Inability to secrete Potassium  Increased urea in the blood  Anemia  Generalized weakness  Loss of Appetite  Lethargy  Fatigue  Rapid breathing  Increased BP  Increased fluid leading to CHF  Coma

13.  Transplant  Renal Dialysis Hemodialysis Peritoneal Dialysis

15.  >250,000 people have end-stage renal failure (Diabetes and HTN cause more than half)  50,000 die yearly  30,000 new cases of CRF are diagnosed each year  The numbers of donors has been sufficient for about 1/3 of the people on the waiting list
