Conditions, Prevention and Treatment
The kidneys are a pair of organs located in the back of the abdomen. Each kidney is about 4 or 5 inches long - about the size of a fist. Each kidney contains around a million units called nephrons, each of which is a microscopic filter for blood.
Acute Kidney Failure:
Acute kidney failure occurs when your kidneys suddenly become unable to filter waste products from your blood. When kidneys lose their filtering ability, dangerous levels of wastes may accumulate and your blood's chemical makeup may get out of balance.Acute kidney failure is most common in people who are already hospitalized, particularly in critically ill people who need intensive care.Acute kidney failure can be fatal and requires intensive treatment. However, acute kidney failure may be reversible. If you're otherwise in good health, you may recover normal kidney function – Allah willing.

Prevention:
It is noteworthy that the same diet cannot be applicable to two people, even if the diagnosis is identical; as each nutritional diet differs, in quantity and quality, according to the health status of the patient, their height, weight, age, and gender.
