[Acute renal insufficiency in children].

J P Guignard, C A Mayor

    Schweizerische Medizinische Wochenschrift
    |January 28, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Acute renal failure (ARF) is a sudden loss of kidney function, categorized as prerenal, intrinsic, or postrenal. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of ARF significantly improve patient prognosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Internal Medicine
    • Physiology

    Context:

    • Acute renal failure (ARF) is characterized by a rapid decline in glomerular filtration rate.
    • ARF leads to the accumulation of waste products, water, and electrolytes.
    • Causes are classified into prerenal, intrinsic, and postrenal categories.

    Purpose:

    • To outline the classification, causes, and management of acute renal failure.
    • To highlight the importance of early diagnosis and intervention for prerenal causes.
    • To detail the comprehensive management strategies for established renal failure.

    Summary:

    • Prerenal failure, often reversible with prompt intervention like vascular expansion, can progress to intrinsic renal damage if untreated.
    • Early biochemical markers and imaging studies are crucial for differentiating causes and guiding treatment.
    • Management of established ARF involves addressing fluid/electrolyte imbalances, metabolic acidosis, anemia, hypertension, and nutritional support, with dialysis as a potential intervention.

    Impact:

    • Early recognition and management of ARF can prevent progression to severe kidney damage.
    • Effective treatment strategies improve patient outcomes and prognosis.
    • Understanding ARF's diverse causes and management is vital for clinical practice.
