Nonoliguric acute renal failure. 1979

G Danovitch, and C Carvounis, and E Weinstein, and S Levenson

The course of nonoliguric acute renal failure (ARF) in 11 patients was analyzed. The possible etiology of the renal failure was multiple in all cases and did not differ from that seen in oliguric acute tubular necrosis (ATN). Other than the urine volume, which ranged from 510 to 2,325 ml/day, there was no major clinical or biochemical difference between these cases of nonliguric ARF and those described for oliguric ATN. Creatinine clearance, however, was higher than anticipated in oliguric ATN and ranged from 2.8 to 15.0 ml/min. There was a direct relationship between creatinine clearance and daily urine volume. The essential difference between oliguric and nonoliguric renal failure appears to be the lesser degree of renal damage in the nonoliguric form.

D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells.

D001806 Blood Urea Nitrogen The urea concentration of the blood stated in terms of nitrogen content. Serum (plasma) urea nitrogen is approximately 12% higher than blood urea nitrogen concentration because of the greater protein content of red blood cells. Increases in blood or serum urea nitrogen are referred to as azotemia and may have prerenal, renal, or postrenal causes.
