| When edema has resolved, maximum daily weight loss should be about 0.5 kg, to avoid azotemia due to intravascular volume depletion. |
| Conditions that place patients at risk for this condition include untreated prerenal azotemia and the use of nephrotoxic drugs or exposure to other nephrotoxins. |
| None of the patients had acute postoperative azotemia or statistically significant elevation of serum creatinine. |
| Laboratory findings include anemia, thrombocytopenia, leucocytosis, marked aminotransferase elevation and azotemia. |
| Laboratory tests revealed azotemia and hypoalbuminemia. |
| Patients with evidence of impaired renal function should be carefully monitored as they are prone to additional myelosuppression associated with azotemia. |
