Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acute renal failure, also known as acute kidney injury, is typically classified based on the location of the cause: prerenal (before the kidney, often due to decreased blood flow), renal (intrinsic, within the kidney itself, due to damage to the kidney tissue), and postrenal (after the kidney, often due to obstruction of urine flow). "Rapidly progressive" is not a classification of acute renal failure but rather a description of the speed at which kidney function can decline in various types of kidney disease.
