title: Renal failure diagnosis and management.
abstract: Acute and chronic renal failure (ARF and CRF) are primary health problems in health centres, district and provincial hospitals. Their managements should be initiated in these areas of the health services. Some of the managements of CRF & ARF should be initiated in private clinics by private practitioners. ARF is a medical emergency while CRF is insidious with non-specific features. Discussions on CRF and ARF and their timely managements are mandatory if the mortality and morbidity associated with them are to be prevented.
