Description: to give a survey of the state of art of the experimental and clinical research on the pathogenesis of acute renal failure as focused in the year of 1981. The introductory survey of pathogenisis of acute renal failure by Oken and Steinhausen is followed by contributions on the change of renal hemodynamics during renal failure. The contributions deal with the pathogenetic importance of angiotensin II antagonists and of a beta-blockade on the course of experimental renal failure. The pathological-anatomical studies by Olson, Richet and Bonomini very impressively show the importance of morphology for the diagnosis of acute renal failure of unclear aetiology.
