Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The loss of blood in the motor vehicle accident has led to inadequate renal blood flow, which can cause acute renal failure due to decreased perfusion and oxygenation of the kidney tissues.

Kidney stones, immune complex deposition in the glomerulus, and obstruction of the proximal tubule may also cause renal failure, but they are not the primary cause in this case.
