STUDY TO KNOW OUTCOME OF ACUTE RENAL FAILURE AND FACTORS INFLUENCING ITS OUTCOME

Objective: Acute renal failure (ARF) is a major problem to treat. Increased mortality is associated with late diagnosis. There are various causes of ARF. The final outcome of ARF can affect many factors. This study was conducted to know the factors affecting and influencing the ARF outcome. Study Design: A Retrospective study. Place and Duration: In Mayo Hospital, Nephrology Department for one year period from December 2016 to December 2017. Method: We studied 100 patients with acute renal failure in adults admitted. Specific factors related to the ARF outcome have been analyzed and identified. Findings: Significantly poor prognostic markers were found between the levels of oliguria, urea, creatinine and potassium in such factors, with respect to the result of the treatment modality in the one-way analysis. The multivariate analysis revealed that oliguria was the only significant predictor of good results with dialysis (P
