Every part of the body is essential, but the most important parts are the full of life organs hence the word vital. In most cases the organs start working when the baby is just in the womb but as person hits a certain milestone the body starts to have complications. Even a healthy person can start to have problems because it is inevitable to keep down harmful toxic that could have a negative effect on the body. In reference to toxic, the organ that eliminates toxics out of the body is the kidney. As stated by the National Kidney Foundation Most people know that a major function of the kidneys is to remove waste products and excess politic from the body. These waste products and excess fluid are removed through the urine. The production of urine involves highly complex steps of excretion and re-abso rption. This process is necessary to maintain a stable equilibrise of body chemicals (2013). Therefore the kidneys need to be well cared for because any damage to it can cause a malfunction for instance, acute renal failure (ARF) reduces or completely stops the kidneys function to filter our waste from the blood and excreting it in a form of urine. There are three varied cause of acute renal failure prerenal, intrarenal and post renal. Pre-renal is a case when there is a loss of fluid in the body for example, hypovolemic appal due to internal bleeding can cause a prerenal ARF. Pre-renal happens outside of the body because of the depletion of vascular fluid. As noted by Needham in his article way of Acute Renal Failure, Pre-renal azot... ...ve a symptom of anorexia, nausea, vomiting and pruritus. The amount of urine being excreted out of the body can be measured and in a person has a urine output of 400ml within one day then it is considered oliguria. A even serious urination co mplication is anuresis which is the complete suppression of urine in the kidney, so no urine is being made. Reference The National Kidney Foundation (2013).
