Acute Renal Failure Symptoms And Solutions

Confusion

Confusion can be an early indicator an individual is being affected by acute renal failure. This malfunction can occur when the kidneys fail to filter out byproducts from normal bodily processes that become toxic in large amounts. This toxicity can cause the patient's heart to work extremely hard in response to their reduced kidney function. When the heart is working too hard, an adequate amount of oxygen may not be able to reach all vital tissues. Brain cells become deprived of oxygen because they are being overwhelmed by toxins, and the heart cannot get enough oxygenated blood to the cells. On the other hand, acute renal failure may also cause low blood pressure, inhibiting enough oxygen from reaching the brain. The brain cells are unable to perform their functions when deprived of oxygen. Nerves in the brain become unable to communicate appropriately as the toxins begin to build up and impair their transmissions. Signals get misfired, and some nerve signals do not get sent or received at all. This malfunction can cause the patient to experience confusion and memory loss. Delirium is a form of confusion that may also manifest in affected individuals.
