Acute renal failure in Reye's syndrome.
From 1979 to 1985, 8 children with clinical and biochemical features of Reye's Syndrome developed acute renal failure. Within the same period, a total of 28 cases of Reye's Syndrome were admitted to the Paediatric Units of Singapore General Hospital. Six of them were females and 2 were males. The mean age at presentation was 28.4 months and the range was between 9 months to 47 months. Four of them died eventually. There appeared to be a correlation between the eventual outcome and severity of renal failure and neurological state of admission.
