Overview

Acute tubular necrosis may usually develop through 3 phases, initiation, maintenance and recovery. Common complications of acute tubular necrosis include electrolyte imbalance(eg, hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, and metabolic acidosis), platelet dysfunction, uremia, and altered consciousness or coma. Prognosis depends on the underlying etiology and severity of kidney damage. When compared to ischemic acute tubular necrosis, nephrotoxic and mixed acute tubular necrosis have the good prognosis.
