Dehydration

• Dehydration occurs as the result of a drastic reduction of fluid within your body.
  
  

Significance

• With pre-renal ARF you suffer from perfusion, or an inadequate blood flow to your kidneys. Thus, your kidneys are unable to properly remove waste products from your body.
  
  

Treatment

• Treatment for pre-renal ARF is to improve your body's ability to circulate blood to your kidneys. Therefore, your doctor will give you intravenous fluids to treat your dehydration.
  
  

Prevention/Solution

• Your ARF is usually reversed after you have intravenous fluids. In fact, your kidney function improves along with an increase of urine output, according to the Nephrology Channel.
  
  

Warning

• Dehydration leading to pre-renal ARF can result from the overuse of diuretics.
