What is Rapidly Progressive Renal Failure?

Rapidly Progressive Renal Failure (RPRF), also called Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis (RPGN), is a severe kidney condition where kidney function declines rapidly over a short period, often within weeks. If not treated in time, it can lead to permanent kidney failure.

While some causes of RPGN can be controlled or reversed if treated early, others may lead to chronic kidney damage. Early treatment significantly improves the chances of recovery. Dr. Harshita Sharma provides personalized care to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Can children get rapidly progressive renal failure?

Yes, although more common in adults, children can also develop RPRF due to autoimmune or genetic conditions. Pediatric cases require urgent attention. Dr. Harshita Sharma offers compassionate care for both adults and children with complex kidney issues.

Is dialysis permanent in cases of RPGN?

Not always. Some patients may need dialysis temporarily during the acute phase of the disease. With timely treatment, kidney function may improve. Dr. Harshita Sharma aims to treat the root cause and minimize long-term dialysis needs.
