My sister , age 30, got kidney failure, (doc describes as ARF). This happened after she delivered baby thru c-section. She has been struggling for more than 7 weeks and has gone thru number of dialysis till date. 1 week ago she shifted to big hospital in Calcuta. what are the chances of getting out of this. If needed I can send the respective doctor a soft copy of the latest report. Please suggest and guide.
Hi, Thanks for your question. Sorry to know about your sister. ARF means Acute Renal Failure. ARF following C- section may be due to-1) Blood loss or hematoma (blood clot formation).2) Hypotension (low blood pressure).3) Infection.4) Direct injury to ureter.5) Aggravation of pre-existing kidney problem. Chances of recovery from ARF depends on upon-1) Correction of underlying causes.2) Serum urea, creatinine, uric acid, calcium, phosphorus level, arterial blood gas analysis.3) Urine production per hour.4) Level of Blood pressure maintained with or without medicines.5) Signs of fluid overload. After knowing this one can comment on recovery. Over all there is definite chance of complete recovery of kidney function in most of the cases of ARF Hope this helps you. If so do vote as helpful.
