Overview
Causes
Ischemic Acute Tubular Necrosis
Renal hypoperfusion is the major cause of ischemic ATN. A decrease in blood pressure to the extent that renal protective mechanisms fail to maintain adequate perfusion leads to ATP depletion and cell necrosis. Some etiologies associated with ischemic ATN include:
- Hypotension
- Sepsis
- Cardiogenic shock
- Renal vein thrombosis
- ACE inhibitors
- Angiotensin receptor blockers
- NSAIDs
