Thus, in the first period (the period of renal damage), peripheral circulatory failure appears to be the most common antecedent cause of tubular damage,5, 6and renal function suffers from the effects of shock.6The second period (period of maximal renal insufficiency), lasting usually eight to 14 days, is characterized by failure to clear waste products and failure of regulation of water and electrolyte balance.
