Overview
- Renal papillary necrosis is associated with damaging the renal medullary and papillary cells due to many diseases such as diabetes, sickle cell disease, urinary tract obstruction, renal vein thrombosis, pyelonephritis, tuberculosis, vasculitis, renal transplant rejection and long term analgesics abuse.
Causes
- Common causes of renal papillary necrosis include[1][2]:
- Diabetes
- Sickle cell disease: most common cause in children
- Urinary tract obstruction
- Renal vein thrombosis
- upper urinary tract infection or pyelonephritis
- Tuberculosis
- systemic vasculitis
- Renal transplant rejection
- long term analgesics abuse such as acetaminophen and NSAIDS
