Renal causes of kidney failure - the Acute Kidney Injury series
In the Acute Kidney Injury series you'll learn the bare essentials regarding acute kidney injury a.k.a. acute renal failure. This video covers the part we often find most difficult: the renal causes of acute kidney injury. I've purposefully made this video concise to keep it practical!
Renal causes of acute kidney injury can thus be subdivided into the subunits of the nephron: glomerular causes, tubulointerstitial causes and vascular causes. Tubulointerstitial causes are the most common, and are subdivided in acute tubular necrosis (ATN) and tubular interstitial nephritis (TIN). A urinalysis will help you most with your differential.
