Farouk I (sh) and acute tubular necrosis (medicine)


Farouk I (sh)




Arabic Faruq al-Awwal

born Feb. 11, 1920, Cairo, Egypt
died March 18, 1965, Rome, Italy

King of Egypt (1936-52).

Son of King Fu?ad I (1868-1936), he was educated in Egypt and England and ascended the throne in 1936. Farouk's administration was hampered by internal rivalries. His alienation of the military, especially after its loss to Israel (1948), led to his own downfall. In 1952 a coup led by Gamal Abdel Nasser forced him to abdicate. He was succeeded by his infant son, Fu?ad II, but in 1953 Egypt became a republic.


acute tubular necrosis (medicine)


acute tubular necrosis
<nephrology> A kidney disorder that results in damage to the renal tubule cells leading to acute renal failure. Acute tubular necrosis can result from any condition which deprives the kidney of oxygen (ischaemia).

Acute tubular necrosis may occur as a complication of shock, trauma or sepsis. Conditions such as diabetes or liver disease can predispose people to the development of acute tubular necrosis. Certain medications (for example aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, cyclosporine) are known to cause acute tubular necrosis as a toxic side effect. Radiopaque contrast dyes, used in some radiologic procedures, may also result in acute tubular necrosis as a rare complication from contrast dye use.
