Abstract
Acute renal failure is suspected in any infant who fails to void within 48 hours of birth. In the past decade, acute renal failure has been recognized with increased frequency in newborn infants, particularly in critically ill infants now being kept alive with intensive medical support. Discussed are the prerenal, intrinsic renal, and postrenal causes of failure, the differential diagnosis of these causes, and treatment of the disorder, emphasizing that the diagnostic evaluation and treatment are quite different for the three groups.
