Abstract
Renal dysfunction has not to our knowledge been described in association with the acute phase of severe head injury (HI) in man, unless the latter occurs together with massive trauma to other organs and extensive blood-loss. We noted progressive decreases in serial creatinine clearance tests in patients dying with severe uncontrolled intracranial hypertension. This serendipitous observation prompted us to study systematically the relationship between intracranial pressure (ICP) and renal function in patients with severe HI.
