Definition of Acute tubular necrosis. Acute tubular necrosis: A severe form of acute renal failure that develops in people with severe illnesses (such as sepsis) or with very low blood pressure. Patients may need dialysis. Kidney function often improves if the underlying disease is successfully treated. Abbreviated ATN.
ATN does not rapidly improve following the administration of large-volume intravenous fluid. Treatment for Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN) Management relies on aggressive treatment of the factors that precipitated ATN. One exception is the treatment of ATN associated with the breakdown of muscle fibers caused by a crush injury.
