This is incorrect. AKI causes can be split into pre-renal, renal (or intrinsic), and post-renal. A pre-renal AKI is caused by reduced blood flow to the kidney. A renal/intrinsic AKI is caused by direct damage to the nephron. A post-renal AKI is caused by an obstruction in the urinary tract distal to the kidney. Dehydration is therefore an example of a pre-renal AKI cause as it results in reduced blood flow to the kidney. The only renal cause on the list was glomerulonephritis.

Renal artery stenosis is therefore an example of a pre-renal AKI cause as it results in reduced blood flow to the kidney. The only renal cause on the list was glomerulonephritis.

A renal/intrinsic AKI is caused by direct damage to the nephron. A post-renal AKI is caused by an obstruction in the urinary tract distal to the kidney. Benign prostatic hypertrophy is therefore an example of a post-renal AKI cause as it obstructs the urinary tract such that fluid backs up to the kidney, causing damage. The only renal cause on the list was glomerulonephritis.

A renal/intrinsic AKI is caused by direct damage to the nephron. A post-renal AKI is caused by an obstruction in the urinary tract distal to the kidney. A renal calculus is therefore an example of a post-renal AKI cause as it obstructs the urinary tract such that fluid backs up to the kidney, causing damage. The only renal cause on the list was glomerulonephritis.
