Fig. 66.5. Vascular factors contributing to the development of acute tubular necrosis. Renal vasoconstriction and endothelial injury promote renal ischemia and tubular injury. eNOS, endothelial nitric oxide synthase; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; ICAM-1, intercellular adhesion molecule 1; NO, nitric oxide.
