Classification

It may be classified as either toxic or ischemic. Toxic Acute Tubular Necrosis occurs when the tubular cells are exposed to a toxic substance (nephrotoxic Acute Tubular Necrosis). Ischemic Acute Tubular Necrosis occurs when the tubular cells do not get enough oxygen, a condition they are highly sensitive to due to their very high metabolism.
