Detailed explanation-1: -Referral to nephrology is important for planning kidney replacement therapy and transplant evaluation.

Urgent indications include encephalopathy, pericarditis, and pleuritis due to severe uremia.

Detailed explanation-2: -Acute kidney failure occurs when your kidneys suddenly become unable to filter waste products from your blood. When your kidneys lose their filtering ability, dangerous levels of wastes may accumulate, and your blood’s chemical makeup may get out of balance.

Detailed explanation-3: -End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is the total loss of kidney function. Dialysis and transplantation can extend the lives of people with ESRD.
