High Output Acute Renal Failure Complicating Traumatic Injury

Acute Renal Failure of Leptospirosis: Nonoliguric and Hypokalemic Forms

“…Although oliguria is considered a principal feature of ARF, nonoliguric ARF has been recognized since 1943 [5], Several studies have emphasized that the nonoliguric form is an unusual variety of ARF that occurs predomi nantly after burns and traumatic injury in patients treated with mannitol [6][7][8][9], Anderson et al [1] showed nonoligu ric forms of ARF in postoperative, toxin-induced renal failure, nontraumatic rhabdomyolysis, and after septi cemia and prolonged volume depletion. In their study, toxin-related ARF caused by drugs was significantly more frequent in the nonoliguric group.…”

Anorexia nervosa with Acute Tubular Necrosis Treated with Parenteral Nutrition

“…The hypo tensive episode followed by hypertension and azotemia should alert the clinician to this possibility. The absence of oliguria may confuse the issue, if one is not aware of 'high-output' renal failure (8,9).…”

Early Detection of Renal Failure After Cardiopulmonary Bypass

“…A mild degree of renal failure has developed in such patients which has been called functional1-10 renal failure, renal tubular acido¬ sis,11 and high-output renal failure. 12 Apparently, these patients have been subjected to the factors respon¬ sible for impairment of renal func¬ tion but not in a degree severe enough to produce oliguric renal failure. The term subclinical renal failure might be used to differentiate these patients from the ones in whom oliguric renal failure develops.…”
