Acute kidney failure is usually diagnosed in people who are already hospitalized. However, if you’re not in the hospital, have a common underlying cause of kidney failure, and experience symptoms, you’ll need to see a doctor immediately.  Common causes of acute kidney failure include injury, blood clots, urethral blockages, severe dehydration, drug overdose, alcohol abuse, and infection. Symptoms of kidney failure include urination changes (such as producing little or no urine), fatigue or sluggish movements, metallic taste in your mouth, pain between your ribs and hips, seizures, and swelling due to water retention, especially in your legs, ankles and feet. Your doctor will need to perform tests to diagnose the underlying cause. They’ll then clear a blockage or clot, administer antibiotics, or take other steps to treat the underlying condition. While treating the underlying cause, you’ll receive medication to help control your fluid levels and blood potassium. During and after treatment, you’ll need to eat more healthy carbohydrates, such as fruits and vegetables. You’ll also need to limit the amounts of protein, salt, and potassium in your diet.  High protein foods include red meat, poultry, and eggs. Instead of these, you’d need to eat more fruits, vegetables, and foods that are high in fiber, like brown rice, lentils, and raspberries.   You’ll also need to swap high potassium foods, such as bananas, oranges, and potatoes, for low potassium options, such as apples, cabbage, grapes, green beans, and strawberries.  Always read the label on prepackaged and processed foods to make sure you’re not eating things with high amounts of sodium. Some people who experience acute kidney failure require dialysis, which is a procedure that filters blood when your kidneys can’t function. It’s often only temporary, but cases of severe kidney damage might require long-term dialysis.

One-sentence summary -- Get immediate help if you experience symptoms. Start treatment for the underlying cause. Make kidney-friendly dietary changes. Ask your doctor if you need dialysis.

Q: Even though this measurement is taken across the front of your body, making it easier for you to handle the tape measure yourself, your shoulders and arms should still hang as naturally as possible during this process. As a result, asking someone else to take the measurement for you is advised.  Note that if you are only asked for "shoulder width" and not specifically for "front shoulder width," you should use your measurement for "back shoulder width." Back shoulder width is the standard measurement, while front shoulder width is much less common. Your front shoulder width will usually be close to or the same as your back shoulder width, but there can be slight differences based on age and weight. Certain conditions, like scoliosis and osteoporosis, can yield more dramatic differences. For a front shoulder width measurement, look for a tailored shirt that has a wide neckline or consider wearing a shirt with straps. This measurement deals with the supporting points of your shoulders rather than their truth width. As such, a shirt that illustrates how far these supporting points are is better than a snug shirt with a standard or high neckline. Ask your helper to lay the end of a tape measure flat against one shoulder point. Your helper should then extend the tape measure across the front of your body, following the natural curve of your shoulders, until it reaches the opposite shoulder point. The tape measure will not be horizontal or parallel to the floor. Instead, it must bend subtly along with the natural bend of your shoulders. This is your front shoulder width measurement. Write it down and save it for future reference.  Front shoulder width can technically be used for both men's and women's attire, but it is most commonly used when designing or tailoring women's attire. This measurement is typically used when designing or tailoring necklines. Your front shoulder width is the maximum width a neckline can be without falling off your shoulder. This measurement also makes it easier to space straps on bodices in a way that will prevent them from slipping off your shoulders.
A: Ask for help. Wear the right sort of shirt. Measure across the front of your body. Write down the measurement.

Where does the story start? Many short stories may start when some of the important actions or events have already occurred. Authors may recount such events in flashbacks or imply them through means like character dialogue. If you want to write a story, you'll need to know basic story structure. Stories are made up of exposition, rising action, a climax, falling action, and a resolution. The first parts of the story come with exposition and rising action.  Your exposition comes at the beginning of the story. This is where you explain who the main character is and what he or she is doing at the beginning of the story. Exposition should be brief and grab the reader's attention.  A story's rising action is the series of conflicts that move the story forward. No story can exist without a problem that needs resolving. In a sad story, there should be an element of tragedy to that problem. For example, maybe your main character is caring for her sick dog. The rising action could include her taking the dog to the vet, finding out the sickness is worse than she thought, and struggling with the setbacks and challenges of her dog's medical needs. Once you've figured out basic story structure, write a short outline for your story.

You just need to have some sense of the basic events that will occur.
