Pulmonary edema and other disorders in acute renal failure

  • Chapter
Critical Care Nephrology

Abstract

A wide variety of pulmonary disorders are associated with renal insufficiency. Pulmonary edema is probably the most common and among the most serious complications of uremia. Patients with renal disease may also experience intrapulmonary hemorrhage. Retention of fluid can result in the accumulation of fluid in the pleural or abdominal compartments, resulting in restriction of lung volumes. Lastly, treatment of renal failure can result in lung injury. This chapter considers the regulation of both gas and fluid exchange in the lungs. This is followed by a discussion of each of the major pulmonary abnormalities which occur in patients with renal failure.
