ABSTRACT
Fifty two children (upto 12 years age) with acute renal failure (ARF) admitted to the Nephrology services between January, 1989 to August, 1992 were studied to determine the cause and outcome. Of these, 39 were boys and 13 girls; 27 (51.9%) patients were below 4 years of age. Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) was the commonest cause of ARF (30.8%) followed by acute tubular necrosis (ATN) in 28.84% and acute glomerulonephritis in 19.23%. All patients had severe renal involvement with anuria in 53.6% and oliguria in 46.4% at presentation. HUS was the leading cause of anuria (53.6%), followed by obstructive uropathy (21.4%). Thirty five patients required dialytic support for a median duration of 18 days (2-90 days). The mortality was 34.6%. Seven patients of HUS, 4 patients of ARF following surgery, 3 patients each of ATN and glomerulonephritis and one patient of obstructive uropathy died. Anuria at onset, central nervous system or respiratory complications and delay in institution of dialytic support were bad prognostic factors. We conclude that early referral and prompt institution of dialytic support may be helpful in decreasing the mortality.
