At the present time treatment is based on the maintenance of fluid, electrolyte and nitrogen balance during the period of anuria and diuresis. The "artificial kidney" holds much promise for the management of these patients, but the technical difficulty associated with its use necessitates that the majority of patients with lower nephron nephrosis...Bibliography1.
