Answer: Duane had acute renal failure, and dialysis takes over the function of the kidneys.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acute renal failure results from when there is sudden damage to the Kidney such that it can no longer function effectively. It develops over hours instead of the relatively longer time that it take chronic renal failure to develop.

When this happens, a Dialysis machine can be used. It takes over the functions of the kidney in the body so that the waste in the blood can be filtered while the Kidneys are worked on.
