RESUMO

Cases of leptospirosis admitted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH), Barbado, were assessed for the presence of "pre-renal azotaemia" (NON-ARF) as opposed to "acute renal failure" (ARF). Distinction between the two diagnoses was made on the basis of clinical course. Peritoneal dialysis was inappropriately utilised in 26% of patients receiving such therapy. This study evaluates diagnóstic tests for pre-renal azotaemia, and acute renal failure in leptospsirosis, and indicates guidelines for the management of azotaemia in such patientes. U/P urea and osmolar ratios show high sensitivity in diagnosing pre-renal azotaemia. While "early" dialysis is essential for patients with acute leptospiral renal failure, in those with plasma creatinines less than 600 micronmol/litre on entry and indices indicating NON-ARF, decisions regarding dialysis con safely be delayed for 48-72 hours while the effect of rehydration is assessed
