Acute Tubular Necrosis
Renal tubular necrosis, or acute tubular necrosis, is damage to the cells of the small tubules of the kidney that can impair its ability to filter and eliminate waste. It is usually a frequent cause of a sudden decline in kidney function.
Common causes: it is associated with episodes of low blood supply to the kidney or with exposure to substances that are toxic to this organ.
Signs to watch for: a decrease in the amount of urine, swelling, fatigue, and other signs that the kidney is not filtering well.
Which specialists treat it? Nephrology, in both its adult and pediatric forms, and in certain cases urology, are the areas that study and follow up this type of kidney damage. If signs of poor kidney function appear, a professional assessment is essential.
