Rationale
Correct: Pre-renal causes of kidney failure include dehydration, severe hemorrhage, cardiac failure, and shock. All these causes reduce the blood flow to the kidney.
Intrarenal causes are those targeting and damaging the nephrons, which include toxins, medications- aminoglycosides, gentamicin), glomerulonephritis, and pyelonephritis.
Post-renal causes are those as a result of outflow problems, which include obstruction caused by kidney stones.
Incorrect: Pyelonephritis and streptococcal infections are both intrarenal causes. A blood transfusion is not a cause.
