    Introduction : Acute renal failure (ARI) in the renal transplant patient is an acute decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The IRA in the transplant recipient may be identical in its causes to that of the clean kidneys in a non transplanted subject, with in addition to specific causes related to the dysfunctional kidney transplant state. These…

    Epidemiology: The frequency of acute renal failure (ARI) in pregnancy is very different in developed and developing countries. Prevalence and prognosis data can not be interpreted without taking into account the geographic context in which they were obtained. The IRA has become, in France, an exceptional complication of pregnancy. Its incidence has declined significantly in developed countries…

    Generalities: Acute renal failure (ARF) represents 20% of the ARI etiologies. Its incidence is increasing because of the emergence of new potentially nephrotoxic molecules and the multiplication of drug prescriptions. This incidence is, however, certainly underestimated in view of the apparently silent nature of the symptomatology. Medication ARIs are classically considered to be better prognoses than ARIs of…

    Acute abdominal pathology in children is a common cause of admission to emergencies.

    Dr. Taoufik

    Introduction: Acute renal failure (ARI) is defined in general terms as a sudden decrease in renal function, sufficient to lead to nitrogen waste retention and disrupt hydroelectrolytic homeostasis. While this qualitative definition is generally accepted, there is no consensus on the quantitative importance of the decrease in renal function necessary for the diagnosis of ARI. Commonly used…
