Effect of acute renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy on outcome in critically ill patients*

Abstract

The results of our study suggest that acute renal failure in patients undergoing renal replacement therapy presents an excess risk of in-hospital death. This increased risk cannot be explained solely by a more pronounced severity of illness. Our results provide strong evidence that acute renal failure presents a specific and independent risk factor for poor prognosis.
