Abstract
Acute renal failure (ARF) in horses is usually prerenal or renal in origin and is most often caused by hemodynamic or nephrotoxic insults. The clinical management of patients that have ARF is largely supportive, including correction of fluid deficits and electrolyte and acid-base disturbances and treatment and reversal of the underlying cause. Use of dopamine and mannitol to promote renal blood flow and urine output is no longer recommended.
