Acute Renal Failure (ARF, Acute Kidney Failure) — Symptoms and Treatment

No matter in which clinical field you will be working in the future, you will be confronted with cases of acute renal failure. In this acute emergency illness, various pathomechanisms come together and lead to a principally reversible decrease in renal function, often involving disbalances of water and electrolytes. The different types of acute renal failure have to be understood well in order ...

Hemolysis-induced acute renal failure in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

Ceftriaxone induced hemolysis complicated by acute renal failure.

Over the last decade, second and third generation cephalosporins have been the most common drugs causing hemolytic anemia (HA). Of these cases, 20% have been attributed to ceftriaxone. The clinical presentation of ceftriaxone-induced HA is usually abrupt with sudden onset of pallor, tachypnea, cardio-respiratory arrest and shock. Acute renal failure (ARF) has been reported in 41% of such cases ...
