Acute illness superimposed on chronic renal failure

  • Chapter
Critical Care Nephrology

Abstract

Acute renal failure (ARF) can be defined as a clinical syndrome characterized by a precipitous deterioration in renal function over a period of hours or days. In patients with the most severe ARF, dialysis will be required. The evolution is different from what is defined as chronic renal failure (CRF), where the decline in renal function takes place over several months to years. Despite the fact that ARF carries a high morbidity and mortality, the potential reversibilty of many entities of ARF mandates a rapid diagnosis and treatment.
