Acute Renal Failure Management in ICU

Acute renal failure, or acute kidney injury, in the ICU is managed by addressing the underlying cause, ensuring the kidneys are supported, and maintaining fluid balance. This often involves monitoring vital signs, blood tests, and adjusting medications. Doctors may use diuretics to help with fluid removal or dialysis if the kidneys can't filter waste. It's crucial to monitor electrolytes, blood pressure, and urine output to avoid complications. The focus is on stabilizing the patient, preventing further kidney damage, and facilitating recovery, while working closely with a multidisciplinary team to optimize overall health.
