A member asked:
What will happen and how long are you hospitalized for a severe kidney failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: 1) what will happen: depends on the cause of kidney failure. Something like dehydration related kidney failure almost always recovers. Inflammatory processes of kidneys (glomerulonephritis) might not. 2) how long are you hospitalized: again depends on the cause of kidney failure.
