Medical complications in the setting of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) are common and associated with poor prognosis. We analyzed the incidence, risk factors, and short-term outcomes associated with acute renal failure (ARF) in aSAH. ⋯ The burden of ARF in hospitalized patients with aSAH has increased in the past decade and is detrimental to patient outcomes and healthcare costs. The identification of patient-centered risk factors may allow for close surveillance of high-risk patients.
