The term acute tubular necrosis refers to those forms of acute renal failure that occur in association with ischemic or hypoxic injury or exposure to nephrotoxic substances. This article discusses the various alternative classifications that are based solely on the clinical setting in which the acute renal failure occurs, and the types of therapies used in the management of them. |
