Introduction •Renal failure results when the kidneys cannot remove the body’s metabolic wastes or perform their regulatory functions.•Acute renal failure (ARF) is a rapid loss of renal function due to damage to the kidneys.•Acute renal failure is also known today as acute kidney injury (AKI).•It is a problem seen in hospitalized patients and those in outpatient settings.•A healthy adult eating a normal diet needs a minimum daily urine output of approximately 400 ml to excrete the body’s waste products through the kidneys. An amount lower than this indicates a decreased GFR.
