[Preventive measures of acute renal failure]
Abstract:
Many conditions can lead to acute renal failure. Some of them are intrinsic renal diseases whose natural history cannot be anticipated. On the other hand, others correspond to external aggressions driven by various hemodynamic or toxic events. To some extent, these can be partially prevented by relatively simple measures. The recognition of these situations which may benefit from a preventive strategy can significantly reduce morbidity or mortality associated with the incidence of acute renal failure.
