<unk>  <unk>  is a medical condition involving the death of<unk>  epithelial cells that form the renal tubules of the kidneys.<unk>  presents with<unk>  kidney injury (AKI) and is one of the most common causes of AKI. Common causes of<unk>  include low blood pressure and use of nephrotoxic drugs. The presence of "muddy brown casts" of epithelial cells found in the urine during urinalysis is pathognomonic for<unk> . Management relies on aggressive treatment of the factors that precipitated<unk>  (e.g. hydration and cessation of the offending drug). Because the<unk>  cells continually replace themselves, the overall prognosis for<unk>  is quite good if the underlying cause is corrected, and recovery is likely within 7 to 21 days.
