  • Title: Acute renal failure in infants, children and adults.
    Author: Stewart CL, Barnett R.
    Journal: Crit Care Clin; 1997 Jul; 13(3):575-90. PubMed ID: 9246531.
    Abstract:
    Acute renal failure (ARF) occurs in many critically ill patients regardless of age. A combination of events often seen in critical care settings, including shock, sepsis, hypoxia, and the use of potentially nephrotoxic medications, combine to make ARF an ongoing and important management issue in critical care medicine. Since the events leading to the development of ARF differ in infants, children, adults, and the elderly, the pathophysiology, clinical features, and treatment modalities do indeed have remarkable similarities among the different age groups.
