Dose of Dialysis in Acute Renal Failure [PDF]
Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2006 One to 25% of critically ill patients who are admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) develop acute renal failure (ARF), depending on the definition used (1). ARF has a significant impact on morbidity and represents an independent risk factor for mortality. The mortality rate for severe ARF exceeded 50% over the past three decades (2–6).
