Acute Renal Failure Causes and Treatment

摘要

Acute renal failure (ARF) - the sudden loss of kidney function - is a somewhat reversible state that must be diagnosed quickly and treated aggressively. Causes of ARF include preexisting renal disease, ischemia, exposure to toxins, and other events that decrease renal perfusion. Appropriate diagnosis, rapid therapeutic intervention, and meticulous monitoring are vital to patient survival.
