Clinical Features
Acute Tubular Necrosis
Chracterized by

Rapid destruction of tubular
epithelium

Rapid reduction in urine output
o
<400ml per day

The most common cause of
Acute Renal Failure in renal
category
The Initiation Phase

Acute decrease in GFR to a
very low level

Sudden increase in
o
Serum creatinine
o
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
The Maintenance Phase

Sustained severe reduction
in GFR

Sustained increase in
o
Serum creatinine
o
BUN

Continues for a period of
time, usually 1-2 weeks
The Recovery Phase

Increase in urine ouput
o
Happens when Oliguria
present during
Maintenance Phase

Gradual decrease in
o
Serum crearinine
o
BUN

Restoration of tubular
function

Motality rate 50%
60% mortality rate in pts
with

Shock due to sepsis

Severe burn

Multiorgan failure
30% mortality rate in pts
due to Nephrotoxic
agents
Patient can recover if
doesn’t develop organs
failure during the course
50% may have some renal
impairment
5% have decline in renal
function
5% never recover kidney
function and require
dialysis

sensitive towards

of O2

o Obstructive
anomalies of UT
Pathogenesis
Acending
infections
o Due to reflux
of
pathogens
against the

urine
o ‘can be due
to


Subtle but
cumulative
tubular injuries
Pathogenesis
Drugs bind covalently with
cytoplasmic and extracellular
components of tubular cells

These complex then become
Immunogenic

The injury happens due to IgE/
cellular immune mediated
response to
