Detailed explanation-1: -Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is the most common cause of intrarenal AKI in hospitalized patients. Renal ischemia, sepsis, and nephrotoxins are major causes of ATN.
Detailed explanation-2: -Prerenal: decreased renal perfusion (often from hypovolemia) leading to a decrease in GFR; reversible. Intrarenal: intrinsic kidney damage; ATN most common due to ischemic/nephrotoxic injury. Postrenal: extrinsic/intrinsic obstruction of the urinary collection system.
Detailed explanation-3: -Post-renal causes mainly include obstructive causes, which lead to congestion of the filtration system leading to a shift in the filtration driving forces. The most common ones being renal/ureteral calculi, tumors, blood clots, or any urethral obstruction.
Detailed explanation-4: -Glomerulonephritis signs and symptoms may include: Pink or cola-colored urine from red blood cells in your urine (hematuria) Foamy or bubbly urine due to excess protein in the urine (proteinuria) High blood pressure (hypertension)
