Summary

Understanding acute tubular necrosis, a common cause of acute renal failure, requires examining kidney cell morphology. The review highlights how complex cellular changes correlate with kidney function, emphasizing a holistic assessment of findings.

Ritonavir-induced acute kidney injury: kidney biopsy findings and review of literature.

Clinical nephrology·2011

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Pathology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Acute renal failure (ARF) necessitates understanding kidney morphology.
  • Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is the most frequent form of ARF.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review morphological findings in ATN.
  • To correlate morphological changes with functional alterations in ARF.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature focusing on morphological changes in ATN.
  • Emphasis on tubular cell injury (sublethal and apoptotic).

Main Results:

  • Morphological changes in ATN are complex and interdependent.
  • Sublethal tubular injury and apoptotic cell death are key findings.

  • Evanescent nature of some changes complicates single-finding correlations.

    • Conclusions:

    • Assessing the constellation of morphological findings is crucial for correlating with kidney function in ARF.
    • Meaningful correlation requires a comprehensive view of cellular changes.
    • Understanding morphology is key to understanding ARF pathophysiology.
