This video breaks down the diagnosis of acute tubular necrosis into an easy to understand flowsheet for practicing nephrologists and medical students. The flowsheet provides a visual representation of the step-by-step decision-making involved in assessing and diagnosing a patient with acute tubular necrosis. Dr. Piracha discusses the complications associated with this diagnosis. This concise diagnostic video tool helps clinicians make better decisions while taking care of their patients or quickly update their knowledge while preparing for an exam.

Video Transcript
Hello, and welcome. Thank you so much for joining me for this video. I’m really happy you’ve taken some time out to watch this video. I’m going to be your host. My name is Dr. Kashif Piracha. And the title of today’s video is acute tubular necrosis, an algorithmic approach. I’m a dual board certified physician currently in active clinical practice in Houston, Texas.
And the reason I’ve created this algorithm is twofold. Whenever I encounter a patient that I suspect has a diagnosis of acute tubular necrosis, I use the principles of this algorithm to identify what is causing the acute tubular necrosis, and to provide a remedy for it. And also, whenever I’m taking a licensing exam or a test in which there are questions about acute tubular necrosis, I use the principles of this algorithm to try to get to the correct answer in the most efficient manner.
Before we we begin with this algorithm, I just want to say that this is my personal approach whenever I’m taking care of patients with acute tubular necrosis. There could be other approaches out there, which could be perfectly genuine and acceptable.
And also, that the scope of this algorithm is limited because of time and space constraints. So therefore, I have not been able to include each and every etiology and management approach related to acute tubular necrosis. I have gathered, as in my personal opinion and as in my personal experience, the most important pieces of information in this algorithm. But again, it’s not an all-exhaustive list. So keep that in mind as you watch this video.
So without further ado, let’s go ahead and jump right in.
