Popis: Acute renal failure requiring dialysis occurred in 34 children (2.9%) following cardiac surgery over a five year period. 17 children (50%) recovered renal function with 11 (32%) long-term survivors. The long-term outcome for the survivors, in terms of renal function, was studied from 1 to 5 years after their episodes of acute renal failure. Three children had significant abnormalities of renal function despite normal urinalysis. Detailed assessment of renal function is advocated for children who survive acute renal failure following cardiac surgery.
