Acute Renal Insufficiency: Current Knowledge
Keywords:
Acute Renal Failure, Acute Tubular Necrosis, Nephrotoxin, Renal Function Markers, Endothelin-1 Inhibitors, Adenosine, N-AcetilcysteineAbstract
Acute Renal Failure (ARF) is a common problem for most doctors,
whether dealing with out-patients or in-patients. Although there is
a better knowledge of physiopathology and there are new drugs
available for prophylaxis and treatment, the mortality rate for ARF
continues to be high. This review summarizes our present knowledge of ARF and deals with the latest advances in this area.
