The ATN is more common in first few weeks among transplanted patients from deceased donors.
It may also occur if the kidney cells are damaged by a poison or harmful substance
It is a tubular injury?
It is caused by Acute Antibody mediated Rejection ?? not sure
Have you done Biopsy?
Hello Narmahda,
ATN may be caused by a lack of oxygen and blood flow to the kidneys or a reaction to a toxin or a harmful substance (more likely.) The initial treatments may include diuretics such as Lasix, Bumetazol, or others to flush out the harmful substances. This can take from 1 to 3 weeks. Hopefully, this is your case. Blood creatinine should drift back to normal. If not, the next stage would be a biopsy of the kidney. As always, your Tx surgeon or nephrologist can advise you more accurately. Good luck!
