Abstract:
Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is a serious medical condition characterized by the rapid destruction of renal tubular epithelial cells, resulting in acute kidney injury, given its multifactorial etiologies, which can include nephrotoxic agents, ischemic insults, hypovolemia, and sepsis. We report the case of a young male patient who presented with recurrent worsening kidney function with bland sediment that was confirmed with multiple kidney biopsies as recurrent attacks of ATN of unclear etiology, which did not respond to supportive measures but did respond to steroids.
