Kidney Failure at Central & Northeastern PA Geisinger Wilkes-Barre
Kidney failure (aka renal failure) can occur from many causes, including injury, blood loss, dehydration, tumors, kidney stones, medication, or a renal artery obstruction. There are also diseases which are dangerous to the kidney, including sepsis, diabetes, rhabdomyolysis, and multiple myeloma. People suffering from kidney failure can experience weakness, anemia, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, and congestive heart failure. Because the kidneys filter the toxins from your blood, a blood workup can determine the diagnosis. Kidney failure can be slowed down by medication, dialysis, and diet management. In some cases, a kidney transplant is performed.
