A member asked:
Can you die from acute kidney failure ? (suggesting a drug overdose) what would be initialized signs of death is closing in? would there be physical pain?

Without proper treatment, the answer is definitely yes: acute renal failure can be fatal. But the context of your question suggests that you (or the person. you are writing about) implies ongoing care and probably hospitalized. Standard treatment usually is effective in keeping such patients alive indefinitely, sometimes with kidney dialysis. Discuss with the doctor(s). Good luck.

Yes one can die from that. Signs of death or no different than from other causes and not painful. It is good idea to stay away from drugs and if involved to seek immediate help to avoid such a situation. Wish you the best.
