Acute Tubular Necrosis Prognosis (Expectations)

The duration of symptoms of ATN is variable. The decreased urine output phase may last from a few days to 6 weeks or more. This is occasionally followed by a period of high urine output, where the healed and newly refunctioning kidneys attempt to clear the body of fluid and wastes. One or two days after urine output rises, symptoms reduce and laboratory values begin to return to normal.
