A member asked:
My husband thinks that he has kidney stones and people keep mentioning something else called acute renal failure. what is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different condition: Acute renal failure (called acute kidney injury) is a short term kidney weakness which is likely to resolve or go on to become long term (chronic kidney disease) if cause is not corrected. One of the causes of acute kidney failure is stone disease. Other causes include enlarged prostate.
