Summary:Acute Renal Failure (ARF) is a common medical problem. Delay in diagnosis is associated with increased mortality. Variety of conditions can lead to ARF.

One hundred adult patients of acute renal failure admitted to Ziauddin Hospital were studied. Certain factors related to outcome of ARF were identified and analyzed.
