Signs & Symptoms Of Acute Renal Failure

Risk Factors & Complications

Complications may occur with acute renal failure. Being aware of what may go wrong will help prepare you for any possible outcome that you may face. Both your lungs and heart may be affected so, if you have pains in your chest or feel that you cannot catch your breath, then this is a sign that something may be going wrong. Because your body is not functioning correctly, you may feel weaker than normal, as your muscles lose strength. If things progress too quickly, permanent kidney damage may occur as a result or, if treatment does not get started in time, the kidneys may shut down, leading to death.
