Abstract
Acute renal failure (ARF) is an altered physiological state resulting from rapid but generally reversible decline of the regulatory functions of both kidneys or of a solitary kidney. Acute uremia is a clinical syndrome manifested by sudden onset of oliguria or anuria (24-hr urine output of less than 400 or 100 ml, respectively) for more than four successive days coupled with elevated values of serum urea nitrogen and serum creatinine.
