Abstract
Acute renal failure, especially in the patient with multiorgan failure, still carries a substantial mortality and morbidity despite the recent technological advancements in medicine. The goals for the adequate treatment of acute renal failure require:
-
1.
Adequate removal of waste products
-
2.
Correction and maintenance of acid-base balance

3.
Treatment of electrolyte disorders, especially hyperkalemia
-
4.
