What Does Acute Kidney Failure NOS Mean?
I have just been diagnosis with acute kidney failure NOS, CHR kidney DIS stage 111 exactly what does this mean? I also have diabetes, uncontrollable angina, essential hypertension (recently diagnosis). I have been a diabetic since 10/1998, and the uncontrollable angina 10/1998. I am scared to death about this kidney diagnosis.

Hi
You have stage 3 renal/kidney disease which means your kidneys are only functioning at about 25% of their normal function.
This is likely from your hypertension and your diabetes and you need to see a nephrologist--a kidney specialist--for further evaluation.
This can be treated with ACE inhibitor medications and proper diet
