1- Loss of blood circulation to the kidneys
Kidney failure is often prompted by a sudden loss of blood flow to your kidneys. Some body conditions that disrupt the blood flow to the kidneys include:
- Heart diseases, such as a heart attack and ischemic heart disease
- Scarring of the liver or liver failure
- A severe burn
- Dehydration
- A severe infection, such as sepsis
- An allergic reaction
- Anti-inflammatory and antihypertensive (high blood pressure) medications can also disrupt normal blood flow.
2 – Problems with urine elimination
When your kidneys can’t eliminate urine, it leads to a buildup of toxins and metabolic waste in the blood. Some cancers and tumors can block the urine passageways. These may include;
- Prostate cancer
- Colon cancer
- Cervical cancer
- Bladder cancer
Besides cancers, other conditions can interfere with the smooth flow of urine and possibly cause kidney failure include;
- An enlarged prostate
- Kidney stones
- Damage to your spinal nerves that regulate your bladder control
- Blood clots within your urinary tract
