Abstract :
Introduction: Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is a common syndrome following kidney
transplantation. In this study, we reviewed systematically the relationship between ATN and
kidney transplantation.
Materials and Methods: International databases including PubMed, Web of Science and
Scopus were considered for search of English articles by Aug 2019. Seven published articles
were finally entered into the study. Keywords were ATN, acute kidney injury, kidney
transplantation and renal transplantation or a combination of them in the title/abstracts.
Results: There were seven published articles (conducted on 2,534 individuals) reviewed
in this systematic review consisted of two retrospective, three prospective studies and two
clinical trial studies.
Conclusion: The administration of cyclosporine immediately following kidney
transplantation is a predicting factor for development of ATN. According to the results, ATN
can be associated with kidney transplantation, especially transplanted from deceased donors.
