Abstract

Acute renal failure is characterized by a rapid fall in glomerular filtration rate, clinically manifest as an abrupt and sustained rise in urea and creatinine. Life threatening consequences include volume overload, hyperkalaemia, and metabolic acidosis. Our review mainly focused on acute renal failure severity and control is important in the evaluation of patients and their response to treatment. We developed a search strategy to find any publications about the diseases and its etiology. These to search the MEDLINE (1983 to current update) CINAHL, DOAJ,PUBMED databases using the key phrases causes of acute renal failure, diagnosis of renal failure. We identified supporting evidence and generated recommendations and/or directions for future research. This article examines the various complications that may be observed in patients with acute renal failure, while discuss treatment approaches and also emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary team work in improving the quality of life of patients.
