''' Renal failure''' or '''kidney failure''' is the condition in which the [[kidney]]s fail to function adequately.  
Renal insufficiency may broadly be divided into two categories: [[Acute kidney injury]] vs. [[chronic kidney disease]]:
 
Biochemically, it is typically detected by an elevated serum [[creatinine]].  In the [[science]] of [[physiology]], renal failure is described as a decrease in the [[glomerular filtration rate]].


==Classification==
Renal failure can broadly be divided into two categories (see flowchart below): [[Acute (medical)|acute]] renal failure and [[chronic (medicine)|chronic]] renal failure.

==Definition of Terms==
===Acute kidney injury (AKI)===
Acute kidney injury (AKI), formerly known as acute renal failure, is characterized by an abrupt loss of kidney function resulting in a failure to excrete nitrogenous waste products (among others), and a disruption of fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. AKI is defined as any of the following:
*Increase in serum creatinine concentration by 0.3 mg/dL in 48 hours, ''OR''
*Increase in serum creatinine concentration by more than 50% of baseline or 1.5 times baseline concentration within the past 7 days, ''OR''
*Decrease in urine volume <0.5 mL/kg/h for 6 or more hours


The type of renal failure (acute vs. chronic) is determined by the trend in the serum creatinine. Other factors which may help differentiate acute and chronic renal failure include the presence of [[anemia]] and the kidney size on [[medical ultrasound|ultrasound]]. Long-standing, i.e. chronic, renal failure generally leads to anemia and small kidney size.
===Chronic kidney disease (CKD)===
Chronic kidney disease (or chronic renal insufficiency) is a broad spectrum of disorders that disturb the structural or functional integrity of the kidney for more than 3 months. CKD is defined as any of the following:
*Kidney damage for ≥ 3 months as defined by structural or functional abnormalities of the kidney, with or without decreased GFR, manifest by either pathological abnormalities or markers of kidney damage (including abnormalities in the composition of the blood or urine or imaging abnormalities), ''OR''
*GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup> for ≥3 months with or without kidney damage


===Acute renal failure===
===Acute-on-chronic renal failure (AoCRF)===
{{main|Acute renal failure}}  <!-- FURTHER details should go in the ARF article NOT here -->
Acute-on-chronic renal failure (AoCRF) is defined as the presence of acute kidney injury on top of chronic renal disease. AKI of AoCRF may be reversible, and the aim of treatment is to return the patient to baseline renal function prior to the acute insult.
[[Acute renal failure]] (ARF) is, as the name implies, a rapidly progressive loss of [[renal function]], generally characterised by [[oliguria]] (decreased [[urine]] production, quantified as less than 400 [[millilitres|mL]] per day in adults,<ref>{{cite journal | author = Klahr S, Miller S | title = Acute oliguria. | journal = N Engl J Med | volume = 338 | issue = 10 | pages = 671-5 | year = 1998 | id = PMID 9486997}} [http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/338/10/671 Free Full Text].</ref> less than 0.5 mL/kg/h in children or less than 1 mL/kg/h in infants); [[body water]] and body fluids disturbances; and [[electrolyte]] derangement. An underlying cause must be identified to arrest the progress, and [[dialysis]] may be necessary to bridge the time gap required for treating these fundamental causes. ARF can result from a large number of causes.


===Chronic renal failure===
===Azotemia===
{{main|Chronic renal failure}} <!-- FURTHER details should go in the CRF article NOT here -->
[[Azotemia]] is neither a disease entity nor a clinical syndrome. It is a laboratory finding defined as an elevation in the concentration of nitrogenous waste products in the blood. Azotemia may suggest either kidney or non-kidney diseases. Azotemia is generally caused by:
[[Chronic renal failure]] (CRF) can either develop slowly and show few initial symptoms, be the long term result of irreversible acute disease or be part of a disease progression. There are many causes of CRF. The most common cause is [[diabetes mellitus]]. [[End-stage renal failure]] (ESRF) is the ultimate consequence, in which case [[dialysis]] is required unless a donor for a [[Kidney transplantation|renal transplant]] is found.
*Increased synthesis of nitrogenous waste products: Liver injury or skeletal muscle injury
*Reduced loss of nitrogenous waste products: Acute or chronic kidney injuries


===Acute on chronic renal failure===
To view a comprehensive list of causes of azotemia, click [[Azotemia causes|here]].
Acute renal failure can be present on top of chronic renal failure. This is called acute-on-chronic renal failure (AoCRF).  The acute part of AoCRF may be reversible and the aim of treatment, as with ARF, is to return the patient to their baseline renal function, which is typically measured by serum [[creatinine]].  AoCRF, like ARF, can be difficult to distinguish from chronic renal failure, if the patient has not been monitored by a [[physician]] and no baseline (i.e., past) blood work is available for comparison.


==Use of the term ''uremia''==
===Uremia===
Before the advancement of modern medicine, renal failure was often referred to as uremic poisoning. Uremia was the term used to describe the contamination of the blood with urine. Starting around 1847, this term was used to describe reduced urine output, that was thought to be caused by the urine mixing with the blood instead of being voided through the urethra. The term [[uremia]] is now used to loosely describe the illness accompanying kidney failure.<ref>{{cite journal | author = Meyer TW and Hostetter, TH| title = Uremia| journal = N Engl J Med | volume = 357 | issue = 13 | pages = 1316 | year = 2007 | id = PMID 17898101}} [http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/357/13/1316 Full text].</ref>
[[Uremia]] (urine constituents in blood) is a clinical syndrome caused by progressive accumulation of nitrogen waste products among patients with kidney failure who with unable to clear these waste products by the kidneys.<ref name="pmid17898101">{{cite journal| author=Meyer TW, Hostetter TH| title=Uremia. | journal=N Engl J Med | year= 2007 | volume= 357 | issue= 13 | pages= 1316-25 | pmid=17898101 | doi=10.1056/NEJMra071313 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=17898101  }} </ref>
*Uremia is thought to account for the clinical features of chronic kidney failure that cannot be explained by other classical abnormalities of chronic kidney failure (abnormalities of ion concentrations or extracellular volume overload).<ref name="pmid17898101">{{cite journal| author=Meyer TW, Hostetter TH| title=Uremia. | journal=N Engl J Med | year= 2007 | volume= 357 | issue= 13 | pages= 1316-25 | pmid=17898101 | doi=10.1056/NEJMra071313 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=17898101  }} </ref>


==Reversible Renal Failure==
*Initially, uremia syndrome remains subclinical as eGFR ranges between 10 to 50% of normal GFR. However, when renal function worsens and GFR further declines (below 10 mL/min/1.73m<sup>2</sup>, manifestations of uremia become more prominent, signaling the need for renal replacement modalities (either [[dialysis]] or [[renal transplantation]]).
*Although experimental studies have validated the presence of uremia in the context of [[acute kidney injury]] ([[acute uremia]]), uremia is classically a feature of [[chronic kidney disease]] given the progressive nature of the waste product accumulation associated with the disease.

Overview

Renal insufficiency may broadly be divided into two categories: Acute kidney injury vs. chronic kidney disease:

 
 
 
Renal Insufficiency
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Defined as any of the following:
❑ Increase in serum creatinine concentration by 0.3 mg/dL in 48 hours, OR
❑ Increase in serum creatinine concentration by more than 50% of baseline or 1.5 times baseline concentration within the past 7 days, OR
❑ Decrease in urine volume <0.5 mL/kg/h for 6 or more hours
 
 
 

Defined as any of the following:
❑ Kidney damage for ≥ 3 months as defined by structural or functional abnormalities of the kidney, with or without decreased GFR, manifest by either pathological abnormalities or markers of kidney damage (including abnormalities in the composition of the blood or urine or imaging abnormalities), OR
❑ GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for ≥3 months with or without kidney damage

Definition of Terms

Acute kidney injury (AKI)

Acute kidney injury (AKI), formerly known as acute renal failure, is characterized by an abrupt loss of kidney function resulting in a failure to excrete nitrogenous waste products (among others), and a disruption of fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. AKI is defined as any of the following:

  • Increase in serum creatinine concentration by 0.3 mg/dL in 48 hours, OR
  • Increase in serum creatinine concentration by more than 50% of baseline or 1.5 times baseline concentration within the past 7 days, OR
  • Decrease in urine volume <0.5 mL/kg/h for 6 or more hours

Chronic kidney disease (CKD)

Chronic kidney disease (or chronic renal insufficiency) is a broad spectrum of disorders that disturb the structural or functional integrity of the kidney for more than 3 months. CKD is defined as any of the following:

  • Kidney damage for ≥ 3 months as defined by structural or functional abnormalities of the kidney, with or without decreased GFR, manifest by either pathological abnormalities or markers of kidney damage (including abnormalities in the composition of the blood or urine or imaging abnormalities), OR
  • GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for ≥3 months with or without kidney damage

Acute-on-chronic renal failure (AoCRF)

Acute-on-chronic renal failure (AoCRF) is defined as the presence of acute kidney injury on top of chronic renal disease. AKI of AoCRF may be reversible, and the aim of treatment is to return the patient to baseline renal function prior to the acute insult.

Azotemia

Azotemia is neither a disease entity nor a clinical syndrome. It is a laboratory finding defined as an elevation in the concentration of nitrogenous waste products in the blood. Azotemia may suggest either kidney or non-kidney diseases. Azotemia is generally caused by:

  • Increased synthesis of nitrogenous waste products: Liver injury or skeletal muscle injury
  • Reduced loss of nitrogenous waste products: Acute or chronic kidney injuries

To view a comprehensive list of causes of azotemia, click here.

Uremia

Uremia (urine constituents in blood) is a clinical syndrome caused by progressive accumulation of nitrogen waste products among patients with kidney failure who with unable to clear these waste products by the kidneys.[1]

  • Uremia is thought to account for the clinical features of chronic kidney failure that cannot be explained by other classical abnormalities of chronic kidney failure (abnormalities of ion concentrations or extracellular volume overload).[1]
  • Initially, uremia syndrome remains subclinical as eGFR ranges between 10 to 50% of normal GFR. However, when renal function worsens and GFR further declines (below 10 mL/min/1.73m2, manifestations of uremia become more prominent, signaling the need for renal replacement modalities (either dialysis or renal transplantation).
  • Although experimental studies have validated the presence of uremia in the context of acute kidney injury (acute uremia), uremia is classically a feature of chronic kidney disease given the progressive nature of the waste product accumulation associated with the disease.
