Acute kidney (renal) failure happens when the kidneys suddenly can't filter waste products from the blood. This can cause dangerous waste levels to build up and the blood's chemical balance to be disrupted. Acute kidney failure can be life-threatening and it usually develops over a few hours or days.
Typical Symptoms of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
- Decrease in urine volume
- Passing much less urine than normal
- Seizure
- Recently started a new medication, from 3 days to 1 month ago
- Swelling of any body part
- Bloody or red urine
- Passing slightly less urine than usual
- Fatigue
Diagnostic Questions for Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Are you urinating less?
- Are you urinating less than usual?
- Have you had a seizure?
- Have you started a new medication recently?
- Do you have any swelling in your body?
Treatment of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
Treatment for acute kidney failure involves identifying and treating the illness or injury that initially damaged the kidneys. It's also important to manage complications and give the kidneys time to heal.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
