Introduction
Acute renal failure is “The House Moment” of nephrology. The patients go from normal functioning kidneys to zero function and at that point theyeither recover with no significant sequelae or they die. At that branch point, between total recovery and death, is the nephrologist and she isselecting IV fluids, deploying dialysis, and determining the balance of at-oms in order to nudge the patient toward recovery.
