1. The types of acute renal failure exhibited in the case study

a) Acute pre-renal kidney failure

The failure that is caused by the impediment of blood flow to the kidneys hence

compromising the vital functions (Alscher, Erley & Kuhlmann, 2019). Form the

symptoms, there is a Kiley impediment of the blood flow into the kidneys, and the

symptoms indicate a lot about the same. Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and weakness are

among the symptoms that the patient poor perfusion through the kidneys hindered.

b) Acute intra-renal kidney failure: The failure is characterized by damage occurring within

the kidneys and causing an altered functionality (Podestà, Galbusera & Remuzzi, 2019).

The patient presents with some symptoms that indicate intoxication and accumulation of

undesirable chemicals in the body hence eliciting certain types of reactions. Clinical

manifestations such as gastrointestinal upset, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, metallic taste,

intolerance to solid or liquid foods are common for intra-renal kidney failure. The clinical

manifestations indicate that the kidneys are unable to carry out their roles in the

ultrafiltration, and therefore nephrotoxins accumulate in the kidneys hence causing the

observed health risks.

2. Risk factors for development of kidney disease.

i. An advanced age is posing a risk to the condition. The patient is 73 years old, indicating

that the kidney functions could have been compromised by the physiological changes that

occur among the geriatric patients (Podestà, Galbusera & Remuzzi, 2019).

ii. Drug abuse and alcohol consumption is another risk factor that is associated with kidney

failure. With an overloaded kidney, it becomes a challenge to eliminate all the waste

products hence resulting in the risks experienced.
