Overview

On physical examination ,patients with acute tubular necrosis may show the findings of volume depletion. They usually appear ill, dehydrated and lethargic. Common physical examination findings of acute tubular necrosis include orthostatic hypotension and other signs of hypovolemia ( dry mucous membranes, sunken eyes, poor skin turgor and delayed capillary refill, and decreased jugular venous pressure).
