Document Summary
Ischemic= lack of blood supply r/t hypotension : hypotension has been there for a while and now you have developed ischemia b/c of lack of perfusion. Intratubular obstruction results in: presence of myoglobin, hemoglobin, uric acid, excess uric acid in the urine, myoglobin is not normally found in the serum or urine. If it is released into the circulation, it gets filtered in the glomerulus. Kidneys stop functioning due to internal kidney injury. Response to cytotoxic, ischemic or inflammatory result . Toxic insult to the tubular structures of the nephron. Conditions that cause damage to structures within the kidney. Acute interstitial nephritis can occur as a result of an allergic inflammatory response to medication. Rare intrarenal cause of injury to the small blood vessels of the kidney by diseases such as: Destruction of tubular epithelial cells that form the renal. Caused by: tubules of the kidney: with acute reduction of renal function.
