title: [Nephrologic emergencies].
abstract: Nephrological emergencies are occurrences which may cause acute renal failure by various reasons. Useful support in diagnosis and introduction of treatment offers a classification in prerenal, renal and postrenal etiologic categories in which the prerenal type is most more frequent than the two others. Mitigated courses without decrease in urinary production are now observed increasingly. The clinical term acute emergency indicating a situation immediately life threatening refers in nephrology especially to pulmonary edema, hyperkalemia and hypertensive crisis respectively. Their life saving treatments are described.
