Six patients with nonoliguric acute renal failure had a fractional excretion of sodium less than or equal to 1.0%; these patients had severe liverdysfunction, which suggested a sodium-avid state.[annals.org]
A case of acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) developing after cefaclor treatment is reported. Diagnosis was proofed by kidney biopsy and lymphocyte transformation test.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This acute renal failure improved upon cessation of zomepirac treatment. Renal biopsy disclosed the presence of a tubulointerstitial nephritis, which was thought to have been responsible for the acute renal failure in this patient.[mayoclinic.pure.elsevier.com]
Each chapter begins with normal function and pathophysiology and quickly moves to clinical conditions and treatment. Numerous illustrations, tables, charts, and graphs make complex subjects understandable. Up-to-date references are also included.[books.google.de]
Otherwise, predicting prognosis of ARF/AKI from a heterogenous group of patients with renal dysfunction would be problematic.[ndt.oxfordjournals.org]
Indicators of poor prognosis include older age, multiple organ failure, oliguria, hypotension, number of transfusions and acute on chronic kidney disease. Prognosis is closely related to the underlying cause.[patient.info]

The possible etiology of the renal failure was multiple in all cases and did not differ from that seen in oliguric acute tubular necrosis (ATN).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
While they may help in the diagnosis and management of very specific etiologies like hepatorenal syndrome, most of the time a fluid challenge or diuresis will be the diagnostic and therapeutic tests of choice. JAMA. 1976 Aug 9;236(6):579-81.[medicine-matters.blogs.hopkinsmedicine.org]

ATN was caused in the majority of patients who required RRT by a combination of etiologies, whereas 86% of the patients who do not require RRT had a single etiology.[clinchem.aaccjnls.org]
