AB  - Acute  renal  failure  (ARF)  is  the  sudden  decline  in  renal  function  resulting  in  increase  in  metabolic  waste  products  in  the  blood  and  dysregulation  of  extracellular  electrolytes  and  volumes.  This  is  usually  marked  by  elevations  in  serum  creatinine  and  increased,  normal,  or  decreased  urine  output.  The  terms  polyuria,  oliguria,  and  anuria  sometimes  are  used  to  characterize  the  type  of  failure.  The  term  acute  kidney  injury  (AKI)  has  replaced  acute  renal  failure  in  the  literature  in  an  effort  to  better  characterize  the  spectrum  of  impairment  in  renal  function  before  complete  failure.
