Duration and prognosis of a renal infarction
The course of the disease and the prognosis in the case of a renal infarction are determined by individual circumstances, such as previous illnesses and causes of the infarction, the affected kidney area and the duration of the reduced blood supply to the kidney. The kidney can recover almost completely or go into renal failure requiring dialysis. The prognosis therefore varies greatly from person to person. If an arterial vessel occlusion is responsible for the kidney infarction, the prognosis is not particularly good.
