Acute renal tubular necrosis (ATN) is a severe kidney injury characterized by the death of cells, resulting in impaired function. This condition associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, necessitating effective management strategies. article provides comprehensive overview evaluation ATN. The process involves combination clinical assessment, laboratory investigations, imaging modaliti...

Acute kidney injury following immersion or near-drowning is rarely described and no data from Malaysia have been found. We report a case of acute kidney injury following a near-drowning event. A 20-year-old man who recovered from near-drowning in a swimming pool 5 days earlier presented to our clinic with abdominal pain, anorexia, nausea and polyuria. Dipstick urinalysis showed a trace of blood...

Banister, A., and Hatcher, G. W. (1973). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 48, 36. Renal tubular and papillary necrosis after dehydration in infancy. Two infants are described who developed renal tubular and papillary necrosis. In one, severe problems of management occurred during the diuretic phase. In the other, the intravenous pyelogram showed characteristic changes during the acute illness....

BACKGROUND Acute tubular necrosis and pigment induced kidney injury are well described consequences of cocaine abuse. However, acute interstitial nephritis associated with cocaine use has been previously reported in only three patients. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 49-year-old man who developed acute kidney injury from biopsy-proven interstitial nephritis after nasal insufflatio...

Twenty-six cases (4.8%) from a total of 540 patients with acute renal failure (ARF) of diverse aetiology had ARF in association with falciparum malaria. Their ages ranged from 15 to 85 years (mean 31.2). Urinary sediment abnormalities and proteinuria (less than 1 g/24 h) were observed in 15 (57.7%) cases. The probable underlying factors leading to ARF were: volume depletion 17 (65.3%), intravas...

  Objective(s): The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of subacute administration of propylthiouracil (PTU) on gentamicin (GM)-induced nephrotoxicity in male rats.   Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into 4 experimental groups as follow: (1) Control group: isotonic saline (1 ml/kg, IP. for 18 d), (2) GM group: 100 mg/kg, IP for 8 d, (3) PTU group: PTU...
