Abstract
Acute renal failure (ARF) is a common postoperative complication. General medical measures to treat this condition should include: a. Maintenance of an adequate renal preload (optimal circulating volume and cardiac output) b. Use of rapid onset diuretics c. Optimization of renal afterload (i.e., avoid high central venous pressures) d. Management of acute consequences of renal failure including systemic hypertension and hyperkalemia
