Abstract
Acute renal failure (ARF) is a syndrome that occurs due to multiple causes of injury and is characterized by an abrupt decrease in glomerular filtration rate. The concept of renal angina is made to highlight the characteristics of renal injury, as an analogy to the concept of angina pectoris, which is used to increase the suspicion of acute coronary syndrome in cardiology.
