Among 973 patients admitted during a period of 3 years to the burn unit of our hospital, only 3 had oliguric acute renal failure requiring substitute therapy, and in all 3 the cause was rhabdomyolysis secondary to electrical burns.During the first 3 months of 1985, we were consulted about five patients in the burn unit who had anuric acute renal failure. The two men and three women, aged 32 to 89 years, were admitted with second- and third-degree burns...References1. PLANASWACHTELFRANKHENDERSON MTHL.
