Ten patients with acute renal failure post-septic abortion were studied. Two groups of patients are described in terms of duration of oliguria, number of dialysis per patient and maximal concentration of BUN during the acute episode of tubular necrosis. Despite different oliguric periods, when the patients reached 500 ml of urine volume in 24 hours, the recovery of diuresis was similar in both groups as well as the decrease of BUN concentration at the end of the hemodialysis period.
