Hi,

Thanks for your question.
Sorry to know about your sister.

ARF means Acute Renal Failure.
ARF following C- section may be due to-
1) Blood loss or hematoma (blood clot formation).
2) Hypotension (low blood pressure).
3) Infection.
4) Direct injury to ureter.
5) Aggravation of pre-existing kidney problem.

Chances of recovery from ARF depends upon-
1) Correction of underlying causes.
2) Serum urea, creatinine, uric acid, calcium, phosphorus level, arterial blood gas analysis.
3) Urine production per hour.
4) Level of Blood pressure maintained with or without medicines.
5) Signs of fluid overload.

After knowing this one can comment on recovery.
Over all there is definite chance of complete recovery of kidney function in most of the cases of ARF

Hope this helps you. If so do vote as helpful.
