Neonatal acute renal failure

Neonatal acute renal failure refers to newborns with kidney damage in a short period of time, showing oliguria or anuria, humoral disorders, acidity, etc. Alkali disorders and elevated concentrations of metabolites (urea, creatinine, etc.) in the plasma that need to be excreted by the kidneys. Acute renal failure is often a late-stage comorbidity of severe disease, and is one of the critical clinical syndromes of newborns. Neonatal acute renal failure can be caused by reduced glomerular filtration function alone, but can also be accompanied by renal tubular dysfunction or tubular necrosis. The incidence of neonatal congenital renal damage and renal dysplasia is higher than that of older children. Neonatal renal dysfunction can be the first symptom of congenital renal dysplasia.
