To determine the epidemiological, clinical and developmental renal failure in a religious hospital in a rural area southeast of Togo, a retrospective descriptive study on the viewed patient records and / or hospitalized from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2011 hospital Afagnan was conducted. A total of 203 cases of patients with renal impairment (22% had an IRA, 50% had CKD and 28% of undetermined) were collected. There was a male predominance with a sex ratio in renal failure 1.57. The average age of onset was 45 years in renal failure. The cause of kidney disease could not be determined in 40% of cases. Chronic kidney disease glomerular accounted for 29.41%. Acute tubular necrosis accounted for 57.9% of acute renal parenchymal. Overall mortality of renal failure was 33%. This study confirms the problem of renal failure in developing countries and especially in rural areas.
