| acute tubular necrosis | <nephrology> A kidney disorder that results in damage to the renal tubule cells leading to acute renal failure. Acute tubular necrosis can result from any condition which deprives the kidney of oxygen (ischaemia). Acute tubular necrosis may occur as a complication of shock, trauma or sepsis. Conditions such as diabetes or liver disease can predispose people to the development of acute tubular necrosis. Certain medications (for example aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, cyclosporine) are known to cause acute tubular necrosis as a toxic side effect. Radiopaque contrast dyes, used in some radiologic procedures, may also result in acute tubular necrosis as a rare complication from contrast dye use. Acronym: ATN (13 Nov 1997) |
| renal tubular acidosis | <nephrology> A rare sometimes familial disorder of the renal tubule characterised by the inability to excrete urine of normal acidity. This leads to a hyperchloraemic acidosis which is often associated with one or more secondary complications such as hypercalcinuria with nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis, rickets, or osteomalacia and severe potassium depletion.

| secondary renal tubular acidosis | Renal tubular acidosis that may occur as a complication of hypercalcaemic states, hyperglobulinaemic disorders, and in some other chronic renal conditions; a regular component of De Toni-Fanconi syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
