ORIGINAL ARTICLES: PDF OnlyAcute nonoliguric renal failure in the postoperative patientBROOKS, DANIEL H. MD; SCHULHOFF, JOHN W. MD Author Information From the Department of Surgery, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA. Critical Care Medicine: July 1976 - Volume 4 - Issue 4 - p 193-196 Buy Abstract Fourteen patients with acute nonoliguric renal failure have been studied during the past 3 years. The mortality rate was 7% and the complication rate was 21%. Early recognition of the nonoliguric state and its maintenance with adequate volume replacement should decrease the mortality rate in postoperative acute renal failure. Reasons for the decrease in septic complications among this group of patients are not clear, but the absence of septic complications appears to be the major reason for the decreased morbidity and mortality in these patients. © Williams & Wilkins 1976.
