Depends on the cause of the
disease
On long-term follow-up (1 to 10
years), approximately 12.5% of
survivors of acute renal failure
require dialysis and 19% to 31%
of them have chronic kidney
disease
Partial recovery of renal
function may occur in
situations in which the injury
does not completely resolve.
