title: [Treatment of acute kidney failure].
abstract: By the rapid development of the chronic haemodialysis and the transplantation of kidneys the treatment of the acute renal failure is not so often dealt with in literature, though the haemodialysis since its clinical use in 1944 for 15 years exclusively has been used for the treatment of acute renal failure. Alarming reports on the increase of the mortality up to 80% were the cause to deal with treatment and developmental tendencies in form of a survey. The conclusions were that during the last 6 years in the GDR annually about 300 cases of acute renal failure are constantly treated. The total mortality rate is without any essential variations on an average about 44.9%. In comparison to international statistics these figures are remarkably good. According to the  basic etiological cause of the acute renal failure the mortality rate varies between 60% in surgical diseases and about 30% in intoxications with uraemia. Apart from these analyses the author enters indication, causes and prognosis in form of a summary.
