Abstract

Acute renal failure (ARF) occurs in 7% of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) (1). Previously, mortality exceeded 91%, but with the introduction of dialysis, this quickly fell to approximately 50% (2). Overall mortality for ARF has remained approximately 50%, associated with increasing comorbidity (3).
