    Kidney failure occurs when the kidneys can no longer remove waste and excess fluid from the body. There are two types: acute kidney failure develops suddenly due to injury or illness, while chronic kidney failure worsens gradually over time due to conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Chronic kidney failure causes fatigue, swelling, and other symptoms and requires treatment through diet, medication, dialysis, or transplant to replace lost kidney function.

    Kidney Failure

    Kidney failure is also called renal failure. With kidney failure, the
    kidneys cannot get rid of the body’s extra fluid and waste. This can
    happen because of disease or damage from an injury.
    The kidneys:
    • Get rid of excess water and waste products
    • Adjust the fluid and chemicals needed by the body
    • Control blood pressure
    • Control the hormones in the body that make new red blood cells
    The kidneys take excess water and waste products from the blood and
    turn it into urine. Urine is then passed out of the body. Most people have
    2 kidneys. A person can live a healthy life with one kidney.

    Falência dos rins

    A falência dos rins também é chamada de falência renal. Com a falência,


    os rins não conseguem mais descartar o excesso de líquidos e as
    impurezas do corpo. Isto pode acontecer em decorrência de uma doença
    ou lesão.
    Os rins:
    • eliminam o excesso de líquido e impurezas;
    • controlam os níveis de líquidos e as substâncias químicas de que o
    corpo necessita;
    • controlam a pressão arterial;
    • controlam os hormônios responsáveis pela produção de glóbulos
    vermelhos.
    Os rins eliminam o excesso de água e as impurezas do corpo,
    transformando-os em urina. Depois, a urina é eliminada do corpo. A
    maioria das pessoas tem dois rins. É possível levar uma vida saudável
    com apenas um rim.

    There are 2 kinds of kidney failure called acute and chronic.

    Acute Kidney Failure


    Acute kidney failure is a sudden loss of kidney function that happens
    within hours or days. Causes may include:
    • Severe infections
    • Severe burns
    • Injury to or blockage of the blood flow to the kidneys
    • Some medicines, and alcohol or drug abuse
    • Low blood pressure
    • Blockage in the urinary tract
    • Heart failure
    The kidneys can often get better when the cause of the problem is found
    and treated. Dialysis may be needed to help remove waste from the body
    until the kidneys are working.

    Chronic Kidney Failure


    Chronic kidney failure occurs when the kidneys slowly lose their
    function. It is a lifelong disease that does not get better. Causes may
    include:
    • Diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease
    • Kidney stones
    • Blockage or problems in the urinary tract

    Existem dois tipos de falência dos rins: a aguda e a crônica.

    Falência aguda dos rins


    A falência aguda dos rins é a perda repentina da função dos rins, que
    pode acontecer em algumas horas ou dias. As causas podem incluir:
    • infecções graves;
    • queimaduras graves;
    • lesão ou bloqueio do fluxo de sangue para os rins;
    • alguns medicamentos e abuso de álcool ou drogas;
    • pressão arterial baixa;
    • bloqueio do trato urinário;
    • insuficiência cardíaca.
    Os rins geralmente se recuperam quando a causa do problema é
    descoberta e tratada. Diálise pode ser necessária para ajudar a remover
    impurezas do corpo até que os rins estejam funcionando.

    Falência crônica dos rins


    A falência crônica dos rins acontece quando eles perdem pouco a pouco
    as suas funções. Esta é uma doença crônica para a qual não há cura. As
    causas podem incluir:
    • doenças como diabetes, hipertensão e doenças do coração;
    • pedras nos rins;
    • bloqueio ou problemas no trato urinário;

    • Lupus, an autoimmune disease
    • Scleroderma, a skin and connective tissue disorder
    • Chronic infections
    • Some medicines taken over time for other conditions, and alcohol or
    drug abuse

    Signs of Chronic Kidney Failure include:


    • Swelling in the body, such as hands, face or feet
    • Changes in how often you need to urinate
    • Feeling very tired or weak
    • Headache and confusion
    • Nausea or vomiting
    • Loss of appetite
    • Feeling short of breath
    • Itchy skin
    There is no cure for chronic kidney failure. It is treated with diet changes
    and medicines. When the kidneys lose most of their function, called
    end-stage renal failure, dialysis is needed several days a week. A kidney
    transplant may also be a treatment option.

    Talk to your doctor or nurse if you have any questions or concerns.

    • lúpus, uma doença autoimune;
    • escleroderma, uma doença da pele e do tecido conjuntivo;
    • infecções crônicas;
    • alguns medicamentos tomados durante algum tempo para certas
    doenças, e abuso de álcool e drogas.

    Os sintomas da falência crônica dos rins incluem:


    • inchaço no corpo, como nas mãos, face ou pés;
    • mudanças na frequência com que precisa urinar;
    • muito cansaço ou fraqueza;
    • dor de cabeça e confusão;
    • náusea ou vômito;
    • perda do apetite;
    • falta de ar;
    • coceira na pele.
    Não há cura para a falência crônica dos rins. O tratamento é feito com
    dietas e medicamentos. Quando os rins perdem a maior parte de suas
    funções, o que é chamado de falência renal em estágio final, é preciso
    fazer diálise vários dias por semana. Um transplante de rins também
    pode ser uma alternativa de tratamento.

    Fale com o seu médico ou enfermeiro para sanar quaisquer dúvidas


    ou preocupações.
