Hello doctor, one of college mates consumed poison and is in acute renal failure since 3 days. What causes kidney to stop functioning suddenly? What are the treatment options?
Lot depends on the type poison consumed.dosage ingested and vomited. Time to primary treatment incl stomach wash in c/o ingestion.......if the poison is the one which is excreted through kidney it will cause direct damage and person frequently needs dialysis i.e. artificial kidney wash....if it is secondary due to decreased body fluids it responds well......kidney fail due to multi organ failure also carries dismal prognosis
