In acute renal failure in man following shock and trauma, an amazing discrepancy was
found between the complete breakdown of renal function and the very modest histological
and ultrastructural changes in" immediate autopsy" patients, even in those who sustained
septic shock. Although, from this limited number of studies no satisfactory interpretation of
the pathogenesis of acute renal failure can be deduced from the structural changes found,
the findings do indicate that hypoxia plays a key role in aggravating the structural changes …

Although, from this limited number of studies no satisfactory interpretation of the pathogenesis of acute renal failure can be deduced from the structural changes found, the findings do indicate that hypoxia plays a key role in aggravating the structural changes that induce permanent cell damage in man following shock of various etiologies including septic shock.
