N17.0: Acute renal failure with tubular necrosis
Acute renal failure with tubular necrosis is a severe kidney disorder where damaged tubules in the kidneys cannot properly remove waste from the body or balance electrolytes. This condition often ensues suddenly, within a few hours or days. Certain medications, toxins, or problems with blood flow to the kidneys can lead to this form of acute kidney injury. Symptoms may include less urine output than usual, feeling fatigued, and occasionally, confusion or seizures. Swelling around your eyes, legs, or abdomen could also be present. The condition affects how the kidneys work and can disrupt other bodily functions if not promptly addressed. If severe, it may lead to permanent kidney damage or even kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplantation.
