A diagnosis of ARF/CRF is usually simple, but requires laboratory confirmation and must be prompt. The treatment of ARF/CRF is conservative or renal replacement therapy. For children with ARF/CRF is usually necessary multidisciplinary team to share in the child’s care. Children with ARF require early transfer to a specialized center. Children with CRF should be treated in specialized children’s units, where facilities can be concentrated and expertise developed.
