Abstract :

Burn injury is a major cause of Acute renal failure. It is very common and leads to mortality. Finally it results in a complex interplay of various cellular and neuro – hormonal changes. In severe burn patients there will be a continuous homeostatic alteration. ?e aim of this study is to present the salient features in burn patients. ?ere is a comprehensive understanding of the global physiologic changes underlying the condition of burn patients and a judicious interpretation of their continuous homeostatic alterations. Extensive burn injury encompass not only the coetaneous wound but also systemic changes associated with serious pathophysiological complications, one of (1) which is acute renal failure ?e incidence of acute renal failure in burn patients has been shown to vary widely from 1% to 30% and is associated (2–5) with 73% to 100% mortality . Acute renal failure as an aupt decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) cause by intrinsic parenchymal disease or alterations in intrarenal hemodynamics. Its major manifestation is the accumulation of water, urea, creatinine, and potassium in the (6–10) blood
