There's material at external site Acute Tubular Necrosis that looks useful.

this term may be a some what of a misnomer, detachment comes before death or causes apoposis not necrosis[edit]

I'm still collecting citations as I can't find keywords that get a good selection but ATN seems to be applied to any condition that causes proxmial tubular epithelium shedding, without regard to actual condition of cells. For example,

but "shedding" occurs in other processes, for example menstruation, and seems to be regulated. There is some passing indication that bladder cells can shed in response to stress, presumably to fight infection by elimination of cells lkelyh to be infected.

While this may be getting a bit into original rearch, some may be worth including in ATN article as the non-necrotic shedding seems to be still called ATN. Nerdseeksblonde (talk) 16:46, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
