1. The types of acute renal failure exhibited in the case study
a) Acute pre-renal kidney failure
The failure that is caused by the impediment of blood flow to the kidneys hence
compromising the vital functions (Alscher, Erley & Kuhlmann, 2019). Form the
symptoms, there is a Kiley impediment of the blood flow into the kidneys, and the
symptoms indicate a lot about the same. Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and weakness are
among the symptoms that the patient poor perfusion through the kidneys hindered.
b) Acute intra-renal kidney failure: The failure is characterized by damage occurring within
the kidneys and causing an altered functionality (Podestà, Galbusera & Remuzzi, 2019).
The patient presents with some symptoms that indicate intoxication and accumulation of
undesirable chemicals in the body hence eliciting certain types of reactions. Clinical
manifestations such as gastrointestinal upset, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, metallic taste,
intolerance to solid or liquid foods are common for intra-renal kidney failure. The clinical
manifestations indicate that the kidneys are unable to carry out their roles in the
ultrafiltration, and therefore nephrotoxins accumulate in the kidneys hence causing the
observed health risks.
2. Risk factors for development of kidney disease.
i. An advanced age is posing a risk to the condition. The patient is 73 years old, indicating
that the kidney functions could have been compromised by the physiological changes that
occur among the geriatric patients (Podestà, Galbusera & Remuzzi, 2019).
ii. Drug abuse and alcohol consumption is another risk factor that is associated with kidney
failure. With an overloaded kidney, it becomes a challenge to eliminate all the waste
products hence resulting in the risks experienced.
