Abstract
Acute renal failure (ARF) is the most common, time consuming, dramatic and lethal syndrome seen by nephrologists (1–11). Since dialysis was introduced in clinical use in the mid-1940’s, acute renal failure appears to have undergone profound changes. Our purpose is to analyze these changes and try to suggest ways of avoiding acute renal failure and predict the need of conservative care and dialysis for these patients.
