Acute Renal Failure in the Critically Ill

Part of the book series: Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((UICM,volume 20))

  • 130 Accesses

Abstract

Renal dysfunction is common in critical care practice, as are measures to reverse or support acute renal failure (ARF). The mortality from ARF remains high [1–4], particularly in the presence of other organ failures [2, 4, 5]. For example. Bell et al. [4] found that ARF markedly increased mortality from the adult respiratory distress syndrome from 20% to 69%. This high-lights the widespread multisystem tissue injury found in many critically ill patients, and while this review will focus solely on the kidney, strategies to prevent ARF need to fit within a global approach to the entire patient.
