A NUMBER of investigators have studied the recovery of renal function after acute renal failure.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 The clearance of inulin, thiosulfate, mannitol, creatinine, para-aminohippurate and iodopyracet (Diodrast) have been found to be low early in the diuretic phase during recovery. After this, the clearance of these substances increases and returns toward the normal state.
Lowe5 has reported a long-term follow-up study of 14 cases of acute renal failure. In his series, clinical recovery was good, but clearance values remained below the lower limit of normal for as long as three years.
This paper records another long-term follow-up study of 16 patients . . .
