The designation prerenal azotemia was deemed preferable to the older and frequently used expression extrarenal azotemia, since the latter failed to differentiate from the common azotemias due to obstruction of the urinary passages. Only in recent years, with the wide-spread development of laboratory medicine, has the commonplace character of prerenal types of nitrogen retention been recognized. Review of the...Bibliography1.
