The term acute renal failure (ARF) has been used to encompass a wide variety of clinical disor ders ranging from glomerulonephritis to prerenal azotemia. Each underlying disoder has its own unique pathophysiology and each has its own sep arate set of etiologies. Furthermore, many of these clinical syndromes have specific treatments. Ac cordingly, it is not possible to consider the issue of whether diuretics are useful in ARF without con sidering the differences in the disorders we are speaking of. Moreover, data drawn from animal experiments in which ARF was induced (such as uranyl nitrate or glycerol) must be interpreted with caution [1], Still, much of our understanding of these disorders, and the effects of various treat ments, comes from these models. In general, di uretics are usually considered in two broad areas: prevention and treatment of acute tubular necro sis (ATN).
