A Welcome Message from Principal Larson. With a current student enrollment of 727, Hampden Academy and its community have much to celebrate. This community and school are filled with a rich tradition of over 200 years, which helps define who we are as Broncos.
Complete and irreversible kidney failure is sometimes called end-stage renal disease, or ESRD. If your kidneys stop working completely, your body fills with extra water and waste products. This condition is called uremia. Your hands or feet may swell. You will feel tired and weak because your body needs clean blood to function properly.
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.
