Difference Between Acute Renal Failure & Chronic Kidney Disease | Nephrologist | Dr. Vishwanath S

This video discusses the difference between acute renal failure and chronic kidney disease. AC.R is also known as Acute Kidney Injury. This happens due to sudden drop in blood pressure, direct damage to the kidneys, and obstruction of urine. This is a short term condition and can be treated. Chronic kidney disease relates to progressing damage of the kidney that may be permanent. This needs to be diagnosed and treated early.
