What Does ARF Stand For?
ARF stands for Acute Renal Failure
ARF, or Acute Renal Failure, is a sudden decline in kidney function, characterized by the inability to filter waste products and maintain fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. This condition can result from various factors, including dehydration, obstruction of urine flow, or damage to the kidney tissue. The onset of ARF can be rapid, with symptoms such as decreased urine output, swelling, and fatigue. Early diagnosis and intervention are critical to prevent complications and restore kidney function.
