Acute
- Acute myelogenous leukemia in first complete remission
Outcomes can be predicted by, and therapy tailored to, specific prognostic factors, such as age and karyotype.
- Drugs for the prevention and treatment of acute renal failure
Mannitol, loop diuretics, dopamine, and calcium antagonists show promise, but they have not yet been rigorously tested for this indication. Caution is advised.
- Potential molecular therapy for acute renal failure
As more is learned about renal epithelial cell regeneration and differentiation, exogenously administered growth promoters seem a likely intervention.
