| [ Summary ] | Acute renal failure is basically a reversible disease. Renal function can be restored when the direct cause is eliminated, although there are irreversible cases which progress to renal death. Therefore, the lives of patients with renal failure only should be protected. On the contrary, the prognosis of patients with multiple organ failure along with a kidney problem is grave, such that life-saving measures are an essential and should be the primary treatment for these patients. |
