N99.0: Postprocedural renal failure

Your kidneys have stopped working properly because of a treatment or examination procedure.

There are normally 2 kidneys in the body. They filter blood and create urine. They thus help to detoxify the body. Furthermore, the kidneys regulate the blood pressure and salt content in the blood, among other things.

The kidneys can sometimes stop working properly after certain treatments or examinations. This can happen after surgery, for example. The kidneys may also have been damaged by contrast agents. Certain tests involving contrast agents are better able to differentiate between tissues.

If the kidneys no longer work properly, you may experience a number of symptoms. You may only pass a small amount of urine or even none at all. The salt content in the blood may change, too, for example. This may possibly make you very sick.
