Clinical and Etiological Profile of Renal Failure in Children
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Acute renal failure (ARF) is a syndrome characterized by acute decline in glomerular filtration rate leading to the retention of nitrogenous wastes such as urea and creatinine. Materials and Methods: 59 patients who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria were studied between the age group of 3 months and 18 years during the study period, i.e., March 2011 to October 2012. Results: The results are well explained in the article using various tables and sufficient explanation. Conclusion: The most common cause for ARF is acute glomerulonephritis (GN), in which post-streptococcal GN is common. Increased awareness about gastroenteritis, oral rehydration salts, and early referral to tertiary hospital by effective management at tertiary level leading to decreased incidence of RF with acute gastroenteritis.
