Is Acute Renal Insufficiency usually treatable with out resorting to dialysis? Is dialysis forever?

Acute Renal Insufficiency/Failure (ARF) is treated with dialysis in severe cases when patients have dangerous electrolye or fluid problems. Dialysis does not fix the kidneys, it merely does their job while they are not working.

ARF is often reversible, and patients can then stop dialysis safely. This depends on the cause of the initial renal failure, and other medical problems the person may have. The physicians involved can monitor bloodwork for evidence that the kidneys have recovered and advise on how long dialysis is needed.

i am not a doctor but i am in school for nursing. i am not sure if it is treatable. more than likely i want to say it is not. and usually if it comes to getting dialsis it is permanenet until you can recieve a kidney transplant. this is because your kidney is having trouble functioning on it's own and dialysis helps. but being treated might be something like pain management until a transplant.

acute renal insufficiency is kidney failure that happens suddenly- due to drugs, traumatic injury, infections or other causes. dialysis may be needed on a short term basis to assist the kidneys to become functioning again, or its possible that dialysis might have to be a permanent thing.
