NR 507 WEEK 5 – ACUTE RENAL FAILURE (ARF)
EXAM WITH VERIFIED QUESTIONS AND A+
GRADED SOLUTIONS 2026
Acute Renal Failure (ARF) - correct answers-Acute
renal failure (ARF) involves a sudden loss of kidney
function. The individual will experience:
-Oliguria (< 30ml/hr).
-Increased blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and
creatinine.
-Fluid and electrolyte abnormalities.
, ARF is organ failure which means that the kidney is
no longer functional.
The pathogenesis of ARF is divided into three
categories (pre-renal, intrinsic, and post-renal).
Each category has its own area within the kidney
that malfunctions.
Pre-Renal - correct answers-A sudden and severe
drop in blood pressure (shock) or interruption of
blood flow to the kidneys from severe injury or
illness
**most common cause of acute renal failure (ARF)
& can eventually lead to intrinsic renal failure.
Damage occurs before the kidney due to reduced
blood flow as a result of volume depletion:
-Taking too many diuretics)
-Polyuria as in the case of diabetes,
