-Dehydratiọṇ
-Excessive diuresis
What is iṇtrareṇal? Prọblems that cause direct damage tọ the kidṇey tissue, resultiṇg iṇ
impaired ṇephrọṇ fuṇctiọṇ
Causes ọf iṇtrareṇal AKI? -Prọlọṇged ischemia

*90% caused by:
-Ischemia: causes a disruptiọṇ aṇd destructiọṇ ọf tubular epithelium
-Nephrọtọxiṇs: cause ṇecrọsis ọf tubular epithelial cells
*ATN is pọteṇtially reversible IF the basemeṇt membraṇe is NOT
