I’m pretty confident it’s A, renal failure. We discussed it in class, but I hope I’m not confusing it with something else!

I keep mixing up the terms. Is pyelonephritis related to kidney function? I feel like I need to double-check that.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think renal failure was the answer. It makes sense for sudden kidney function loss.

I think it's renal failure, but I’m not entirely sure if that’s the exact term they used in our notes.
