TREATMENT FOR
ACUTE KIDNEY FAILURE
Treatment for Acute Kidney Failure
The
immediate management of the patient with
kidney
impairment is directed towards three goals. The first is the
treatment of any life-threatening complications of acute
kidney
failure. The second is prompt diagnosis and treatment of
hypovolaemia. The third is specific treatment of the underlying
condition: if this persists untreated then
kidney function will not improve.
