R J Anderson, S L Linas, A S Berns

    The New England Journal of Medicine

    Summary

    Nonoliguric acute renal failure is more common than recognized and presents with fewer complications. This form of kidney failure is associated with lower mortality rates compared to oliguric acute renal failure.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Acute renal failure (ARF) is a common clinical syndrome.
    • Oliguria (low urine output) is a hallmark of severe kidney injury.
    • The clinical characteristics and outcomes of nonoliguric ARF require further delineation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the clinical spectrum of nonoliguric renal failure.
    • To compare the outcomes of nonoliguric versus oliguric ARF.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study of 90 patients with acute renal failure.
    • Categorization into nonoliguric (54 patients) and oliguric groups.
    • Analysis of clinical parameters, causes, complications, and outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Nonoliguric ARF occurred in 60% of ARF patients.
    • Nephrotoxic causes were more frequent in nonoliguric ARF.
    • Nonoliguric patients had lower urinary sodium, shorter hospital stays, fewer complications (sepsis, bleeding, etc.), less dialysis requirement, and lower mortality (26% vs. 50%).

    Conclusions:

    • Nonoliguric ARF is a significant clinical entity.
    • Nonoliguric ARF is associated with less morbidity and mortality than oliguric ARF.
    • Early recognition and management of nonoliguric ARF may improve patient outcomes.
