Acute vs. Chronic Kidney Failure in Cats. Kidney failure falls into two main categories: acute and chronic. Acute kidney failure is an abrupt onset of kidney damage, usually the result of toxins, infection or shock. Felines may present with a sudden onset of vomiting, weakness and dehydration.
Sometimes the kidneys can stop working very suddenly (within two days). 1  This type of kidney failure is called acute kidney injury or acute renal failure. Common causes of acute renal failure include: 2  Heart attack. 3  Illegal drug use and drug abuse. 4  Not enough blood flowing to the kidneys. 5  Urinary tract problems.
