Abstract
Two hundred and twenty-eight patients were treated for acute renal failure between October, 1964, and December 31, 1976. Complex antiuraemic therapy has been applied in 96, and haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis in 132 cases. The overall mortality rate was 40.7%. The part played by age, primary process and possible complications of acute renal failure in the mortality figures is examined. From the analysis of clinical features, infections and septicaemia emerge as primary factors responsible for the high mortality. In conclusion the therapeutic measures which may minimize the hazard of inflammatory complications are summed up.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
