title: The immediate care of acute renal failure.
abstract: This article does not attempt to answer all the questions which might arise with the immediate management of a patient with acute renal failure but an effort has been made to lay down some guidelines and discuss some of the points of controversy. It should be remembered that the management of acute renal failure is an exercise in intensive care and that maintenance of non uraemic homeostasis is but one part in the overall management of the patient.
