Acute tubular necrosis
The kidney consists of about a
million microscopic units, each
consisting of a glomerulus – a tuft
of tiny blood vessels and a tubule
– a hollow tube carrying the fluid
filtered from blood which will go to
make up urine. An event causing
disruption and death of the cells
lining the tubules and which leads
to kidney failure has been termed
acute tubular necrosis, although
the term is now regarded as
archaic.
