ACUTE oliguric renal failure complicating acute pancreatitis is rare and many standard texts fail to mention it. Russell Taylor (1949) found it only once in 110 such patients, and in 163 examined post mortem Blumenthal and Probstein (1959) found only one case where a lower nephron nephrosis seemed to be related to postoperative haemorrhage and shock, although albuminuria without evidence of fur...

BACKGROUND Hornet stings are generally associated with local and occasionally anaphylactic reactions. Rarely systemic complications like acute renal failure can occur following multiple stings. Renal failure is usually due to development of acute tubular necrosis as a result of intravascular haemolysis, rhabdomyolysis or shock. Rarely it can be following development of acute tubulo-interstitial...

Background. The major side effect of cisplatin, used in some tumours, is nephrotoxicity. Reactive oxygen species and oxidative damage are the most important factors in cisplatin-induced acute renal failure. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the protective effects of crocin against cisplatin-induced acute renal failure and oxidative stress in rat. Methods. In this study, animal...

This article provides a basic definition of severity scoring among patients with acute renal failure and extends the definition into the types of dialysis support that are generally used in intensive care unit acute renal failure. Acute dialysis dosing and the problems that create a difference between chronic renal failure and acute renal failure support are described, the dialytic techniques a...
