Unspecified kidney failure is a condition where the kidneys are unable to function properly, resulting in a range of symptoms. This type of kidney failure is referred to as "unspecified" because the underlying cause of the kidney failure is not known.
Unspecified kidney failure can be acute or chronic, depending on how long the kidneys have been affected. Acute kidney failure occurs suddenly and can be life-threatening if not treated immediately. Chronic kidney failure, on the other hand, develops over time and can lead to permanent damage to the kidneys.
The symptoms of unspecified kidney failure can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Some common symptoms include:
