Abstract
Acute renal failure (ARF) in infancy may occur due to several pathologic events leading to a sudden impairment of renal function. The syndrome is generally defined by a decrease in urine output (less than 1 mL/kg/hour in the newborn) and a parallel increase in blood levels of urea nitrogen, creatinine, and other waste products.
