Renal papillary necrosis is associated with damaging the renal medullary and papillary cells due to many diseases such as diabetes, sickle cell disease, urinary tract obstruction, renal vein thrombosis, pyelonephritis, tuberculosis, vasculitis, cirrhosis, renal transplant rejection and long term analgesics and alcohol abuse. In infants, it is associated with asphyxia, dehydration, and sepsis.
