*Our definition for [[Chronic kidney disease (end-stage renal/kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5, GFR LT 15|CRF]] includes two things, as above.  If you are on dialysis then it is technically not possible to also have acute renal failure.  And while our threshold of creatinine clearance < 15 ml/min '''USUALLY''' gets people on dialysis, that's not always the case.  In other words, there are some people who don't need to start dialysis until their clearance is <10 or even 8 ml/min.  THOSE people who by our definition have Stage 5 CAN get an acute renal injury (ARF) on top of what we allow to be called Stage 5.

*And of course, if you previously had Stage 5, were on dialysis, then got a successful renal transplant, then you CAN get acute renal failure in your graft.
