“…Numerous publications are available concerning the techniques used, indications for and complications and outcome of paediatric dialysis [1,13,14,16], but little is known about the long-term follow-up after renal function has been regained and acute dialysis has been discontinued. Only a few reports dealing with special entities, such as the haemolytic-uraemic syndrome, have mentioned this prognostic aspect [3,9,10,12,19]. A retrospective analysis of all our patients with acute renal failure requiring acute dialysis therefore has been carried out to evaluate the prognostic criteria that may affect the degree of renal restitution after dialysis treatment.…”

A 12-year review (1972-1983) is presented of 76 children who were dialysed because of acute renal failure. The causes of acute renal failure were mainly the haemolytic-uraemic syndrome (53%), trauma (16%) and operation (13%). Fifty-eight children (76%) survived, 18 children (24%) died. Fifty-two children, the majority suffering from haemolytic-uraemic syndrome, regained complete or partial renal function after a period of dialysis lasting between 1 and 57 days. One to 7.7 years after dialysis, clearance studies with inulin (CIn), p-aminohippuric acid (CPAH) and phosphate (Tp/CIn) for staging renal function were carried out. The results of this investigation show a significant inverse correlation between the glomerular function regained and the duration of intermittent dialysis.
