What is the major cause of intrarenal acute renal failure (ARF)?

Intrarenal ARF occurs when tissue damage of the glomeruli, tubules, or both causes a loss of renal function. Glomerulonephritis and acute tubular necrosis are the main reasons for renal tissue damage. The glomeruli become more permeable, so red blood cells and protein enter the urine.
