Acute Impaired renal function

The acute impaired renal function is the pathological state resulting from the brutal fall of the glomerular flow of filtration. The etiologies are numerous, and the mechanisms contributing to the deterioration of the renal function are variable. The acute impaired renal function is a diagnostic and therapeutic urgency.

Renal physiology

Glomerular flow of filtration
