The result is a fast and irregular heart rhythm. The heart rate in atrial fibrillation may range from 100 to 175 beats a minute. The normal range for a heart rate is 60 to 100 beats a minute. Abnormalities or damage to the heart's structure are the most common cause of atrial fibrillation.
(Beyond the Basics).) Dialysis is typically needed when approximately 90 percent or more of kidney function is lost. Kidney function can be lost rapidly (acute renal failure or acute kidney injury) or over months or years (chronic kidney disease).
When it causes severe kidney failure (when kidney function is less than 10 percent of normal), dialysis may be needed to do the work of the kidneys. Different forms of dialysis may be used depending on each individual's needs. Most HUS patients that require dialysis ultimately recover their kidney function.
