Detailed explanation-1: -Causes of AKI are classified as either prerenal (due to decreased blood flow to the kidney), intrinsic renal (due to damage to the kidney itself), or postrenal (due to blockage of urine flow).
Detailed explanation-2: -Prerenal acute renal failure is characterized by diminished renal blood flow (60 to 70 percent of cases). In intrinsic acute renal failure, there is damage to the renal parenchyma (25 to 40 percent of cases). Postrenal acute renal failure occurs because of urinary tract obstruction (5 to 10 percent of cases).
Detailed explanation-3: -If renal function is truly affected the typical course of AKI includes 4 stages: (I) initiation, (II) oligo-anuria, (III) polyuria, and (IV) restitution.
Detailed explanation-4: -Pre-renal, generally in which decreased renal blood flow results in a drop in GFR. Intrinsic/intra-renal, in which a disease process causes damage to the kidney itself. Post-renal, in which a process downstream of the kidney prevents drainage of urine (urinary tract obstruction)
