Authors' objectives:
Can treatment and prevention of acute renal failure with ANP reduce the need for dialysis in intensive care patients?
Authors' recommendations:
Acute renal failure following major surgery, including organ transplantation, often requires expensive dialysis care. Treatment and prevention with the use of ANP may reduce the need for dialysis by half in specific patient populations. The largest effect has been observed in patients with acute renal failure after major cardio-vascular surgery where the need for dialysis decreased to one third.The effect of ANP is clearly present in low dose treatment, but missing at high dose. Complications, mainly hypotension, are few and related to the dose. Future studies are particularly needed in patients following organ transplantation.
