The Acute Renal Failure (ARF) can be related to several etiologies in the human organism, being one of the reasons of the importance given to this disease. The prevention is the doctor's main tool and, when it is not possible, the treatment looks forward repelling the main causes, also investigating the others and keeping supportive care to maintain the renal viability, most of the times, successfully. The mortality rate in patients with ARF did not change much in the last 30 years. The deaths can occur as a result of the underlying disease and not of ARF, because the kidney is one of the few organs which function can be substituted, in part, for long periods (ex. dialysis).
