This is an outstanding scientific review on the mechanisms of acute renal failure and the process of cellular recovery. The article concludes with a detailed discussion of the recovery process of the kidney from acute injury.

This study provides the citation for the lower incidence of ARF (1%) in patients with burn injury. Interestingly, the incidence of ARF in this study was found to be 19%. None of the patients who developed ARF survived.

This was a prospective study on over 17 000 critically ill patients to investigate the effect of CRRT on outcomes. The results showed that the mortality rate of patients receiving CRRT was significantly higher than that of non-CRRT patients, which suggested that the process of CRRT may partly contribute to an unfavorable outcome.

This is the first study to show that a daily protein intake of 2.5 g/kg is associated with achieving a positive nitrogen balance in patients receiving high-flux CRRT. The study also provides a detailed investigation of the alterations in serum amino acid concentrations as a result of CRRT.

Impact of increasing parenteral protein loads on amino acid levels and balance in critically ill anuric patients on continuous renal replacement therapy. Nutrition 2003; 19:733-740. A pilot study to determine whether a grade dosing approach for daily protein intake can improve the nitrogen balance in patients with ARF receiving CRRT. The results showed that a positive nitrogen balance could only be achieved with a protein intake of 2.5 g/kg per day.
