ATN

Acute Tubular Necrosis

The causes of acute renal failure (ARF) are conventionally and conveniently divided into 3 categories: prerenal, renal, and postrenal. Prerenal ARF involves an essentially normal kidney that is responding to hypoperfusion by decreasing the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Renal, or intrinsic, ARF refers to a condition in which the pathology lies within the kidney itself. Postrenal failure is caused by an obstruction of the urinary tract. Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is the most common cause of ARF in the renal category.
