The following are the major diseases or complications that may be contributed to by acute renal failure (ANV):
Respiratory system (J00-J99)
- Pulmonary edema – accumulation of water in lung tissue.
- Pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs)
- Shock lung
Blood, blood-forming organs – immune system (D50-D90)
- Anemia (anemia)
- Bleeding tendency (uremic) – bleeding time prolonged by uremia,
Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic disorders (E00-E90).
- Activation of protein catabolism (protein degradation).
- Triggering of a proinflammatory response (inflammatory response).
- Disturbed potassium homeostasis (hyperkalemia (excess potassium)).
- Hyperparathyroidism (parathyroid hyperfunction).
- Metabolic acidosis (metabolic acidosis) – clinically shows a drop in blood bicarbonate concentration and compensatory hyperventilation (increased respiration).
- Peripheral insulin resistance
Cardiovascular system (I00-I99)
- Heart failure (cardiac insufficiency; left heart failure).
- Cardiac arrhythmias, unspecified
- Hypertension (high blood pressure) – systolic stressed arterial hypertension.
- Pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium)
Infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99).
- Nosocomial infections – hospital-acquired infections.
- Sepsis (blood poisoning)
Mouth, esophagus (esophagus), stomach, and intestines (K00-K67; K90-K93).
- Gastrointestinal bleeding – bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Hemorrhagic gastritis – inflammation of the stomach associated with bleeding.
- Gastrointestinal ulcers (ulcers)
Psyche – nervous system (F00-F99; G00-G99)
- Impaired consciousness such as confusion or coma (cerebral edema/brain swelling).
- Encephalopathy – pathological, unspecified brain change.
Symptoms and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings not elsewhere classified (R00-R99).
- Dyspnea (shortness of breath)
- Edema (water retention), peripheral.
- Uremia (occurrence of urinary substances in the blood above normal values).
Further
- Increased consumption of antioxidants.
- Inhibition of lipolysis (fat breakdown).
- Disruption of immunocompetence
