Acute cortical necrosis, cause classified elsewhere – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1730189384

Acute cortical necrosis is acute renal failure due to infarction and death of large segments of the renal cortex, usually associated with severe ischemia and toxic injury. This is not the same as segmental renal infarction occurring because of segmental arterial obstruction due to thrombosis, embolism or trauma.
