title: The management of acute renal failure.
abstract: Salt and water depletion, renal disease and urinary obstruction can all present with the syndrome of acute renal failure. Often this happens in a patient who is already ill from other causes, and management must combine seeking and correcting the cause of the renal failure, preserving life in the absence of renal function, and continuing the treatment of the coexisting problems.
