Prevention of Acute Tubular Necrosis
When a person is very ill, doctors give intravenous fluids and sometimes medications to maintain blood pressure to try to maintain normal blood flow to the kidneys. Medications that are damaging to the kidneys are avoided whenever possible. If such medications are necessary, kidney function is closely monitored. In people with diabetes, blood sugar levels are controlled.
