other signs of fluid overload. Acute renal failure from prerenal causes is
characterized by decreased blood pressure or a recent history of the same,

fluids to minimize clot formation. Straining during defecation for at least 6
weeks after surgery is avoided to prevent bleeding. Prune juice is a
satisfactory bowel stimulant.

juice are acceptable items to drink.
