Overview

Causes

Ischemic Acute Tubular Necrosis

Renal hypoperfusion is the major cause of ischemic ATN. A decrease in perfusion pressure to the extent that renal protective mechanisms fail to maintain adequate tissue perfusion leads to ATP depletion and cell necrosis. In parallel, disruption of renal protective mechanisms may also lead to ATN. Some etiologies associated with ischemic ATN include:[1]

  • Hypotension
  • Sepsis
  • Cardiogenic shock
  • Renal vein thrombosis
  • ACE inhibitors
  • Angiotensin receptor blockers
  • NSAIDs
  • IV contrast

Toxic Acute Tubular Necrosis

ATN can occur due to direct or indirect tubular cell cytotoxicity secondary to medications or substance exposures. Some causes of toxic ATN include:

  • Myoglobinuria
  • Aminoglycosides[2]
  • Cephalothin[3]
  • Bisphosphonates[4]
  • Cisplatin[5]
  • Tenofovir[6]
  • Amphotericin B[7]
  • Lithium[7]
  • Mannitol[7]
  • Foscarnet[7]
  • Cocaine[7]
  • Pentamidine[7]
  • Sucrose[7]
  • Streptozocin[7]
