Acute Renal Failure

  • Chapter

Abstract

Acute renal failure (ARF) is broadly defined as an abrupt decrease in renal function sufficient to result in retention of nitrogenous waste in the body. Thus, the hallmark of ARF is rising plasma concentrations of urea nitrogen and creatinine. It is important to note that ARF can occur in the setting of well-maintained urine output as well as oligonanuria. In fact, urine output of 1–21/day is the most common form of ARF encountered in contemporary medical practice (1).
