Rehabilitation After Poisonous Renal Failure

Abstract
The authors evaluate the subsequent control examinations of patients surviving acute renal failures of poisonous origin and treated at the artificial kidney department of the Urological Clinic of the Budapest University of Medicine. The patients were called back for three days of hospitalized checking in order to get information about their renal functions. The group of patients poisoned by mercury offers the most promising prognosis. In this group the total renal function of survivors is good. Similarly promising are the results in other types of poisoning if the patients get over the acute period of poisoning. It is emphasized that if poisoning results in symptoms indicating acute renal failure, the patient should be transferred to an artificial kidney department as soon as possible.
