Abstract | PURPOSE OF REVIEW:
Acute renal failure causes considerable morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. To date, there are few therapies available to clinicians that alter outcome. This review will focus on clinical and basic science research efforts related to the diagnosis, pathophysiology, prevention, and treatment of acute renal failure. RECENT FINDINGS: SUMMARY: Despite the present lack of therapies for the treatment and prevention of acute renal failure, there are reasons to be optimistic. Recent research has led to the development of several different strategies that may provide a breakthrough in the treatment of acute renal failure.
