What are the two major causes of ATN?
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.

What is the use of the acute nephritis?

What is the difference between acute renal failure and chronic renal failure?
The difference between acute renal (kidney) failure and chronic kidney failure, is that acute is a sudden onset. Something like a medical condition, trama, or surgery can cause the failure within days or even hrs. Chrinic kidney failure is slow damage to the kidney over a few years, resulting in the kidneys not being able to filter blood properly.
What acute means?
Acute means "now", "immediate", "current". Acute is often found as a description of a medical problem. For example, "The patient was admitted for acute renal failure." If the condition is not acute, it it chronic. For example, "The patient received a diagnosis of chronic renal failure."
