Acute renal failure (ARF) is a clinical syndrome in
which a sudden deterioration in renal function results
in the inability of the kidneys to maintain fluid and
electrolyte homeostasis.
•
ARF occurs in 2–3% of children admitted to pediatric
tertiary care centers
•
ARF occurs in 8% of infants in the neonatal intensive
care unit.
causes
• Prerenal ARF
• characterized by diminished effective
circulating arterial volume
• which leads to inadequate renal
perfusion and a decreased glomerular
filtration rate (GFR)
– Evidence of kidney damage is absent.
–
–Common causes of prerenal ARF
include
o dehydration
o sepsis
o hemorrhage,
o severe hypoalbuminemia
o cardiac failure
–If the underlying cause of the renal
hypoperfusion is reversed promptly,
renal function returns to normal
– If hypoperfusion is sustained, intrinsic
renal parenchymal damage may develop
Intrinsic renal ARF
