The causes of regeneration, especially amongst Time Lords, were many and varied.

They ran the gamut from simple desire to change to sentencing for convictions, to life-threatening maladies, to blunt-force trauma. While all of these might have been cause for alarm in humans, Time Lords sometimes expressed much less concern. As the Twelfth Doctor once told Clara, "Death [was] Time Lord for man-flu". (TV: Hell Bent)

The following are the known causes of regeneration of specific Time Lords or other regenerating individuals.

The Time Lord known as the Doctor was known to regenerate on several occasions.

	Second Timeless Child	Forced to regenerate by the First Tecteun to enable her to decode the "secret" of regeneration.
	Third Timeless Child
	Fourth Timeless Child

	First Doctor	Collapsed due to his "old body wearing a bit thin" after his life force was drained by Mondas, and was regenerated by his TARDIS.	TV: The Tenth Planet TV: The Power of the Daleks
	Second Doctor	Forced to regenerate by Time Lord court order as punishment for stealing the TARDIS and breaking the non-interference law. After the sentence was delayed, he was ultimately forced to complete his regeneration by animated scarecrows sent by the Time Lords.	TV: The War Games COMIC: The Night Walkers
	Third Doctor	Radiation poisoning upon prolonged exposure to the Great One's highly unstable web of Metebelis crystals. Drifted through time for ten years dying of the radiation poisoning before he returned to Earth, and had his regeneration triggered by Cho-Je to compensate for the Doctor being unable to trigger it himself.	TV: Planet of the Spiders PROSE: Love and War
		During the War in Heaven, history was altered so that the Third Doctor's regeneration was instead caused by a fatal shot to the chest from Magdelana Bishop. The bullet entered his ribcage at an angle which didn't damage any major organs; he instead died of blood loss.	PROSE: Interference - Book Two
	Fourth Doctor	Fell to the ground from the telescope after battling the Tremas Master at the Pharos Project; merged with the Watcher, a projection of himself who had helped him prepare for his upcoming demise, at the moment of regeneration.	TV: Logopolis

	Sixth Doctor	According to one account, sustained physical injuries during the First Rani's attack on his TARDIS.	PROSE: Time and the Rani
		According to another account, while suffering from chronon energy starvation after his confrontation with the Lamprey, the Sixth Doctor died from blunt head trauma caused by the Rani's attack.	PROSE: Spiral Scratch
		According to a third account, regenerated following intentional exposure to focused beams of a radiation lethal to Time Lords consequent to the Rani's attack on the TARDIS in order to foil a plot by the Valeyard.	AUDIO: The Brink of Death

		In an alternate timeline in which the Nazis won World War II, the Seventh Doctor was gunned down by Nazi soldiers, and regenerated into an alternate eighth incarnation.	AUDIO: Klein's Story
	Eighth Doctor	Died after a ship he was in crash-landed on Karn, but was resurrected for four minutes by the Sisterhood of Karn. After his four minutes were up, he regenerated after drinking from a chalice which Ohila told him she had prepared herself to guide his change towards the form of a "warrior". Ohila would later claim that the drink she gave him was just lemonade and dry ice, and her "moment of theatre" was simply an act to trick him into regenerating.	TV: The Night of the Doctor PROSE: The Day of the Doctor
		In an account where he never regenerated on Karn, the Eighth Doctor instead regenerated from injuries he had sustained from activating the Moment, with assistance from the Restoration.	PROSE: Doctor Who and the Time War
	"Listless-looking" ninth Doctor	In a possible future for the Eighth Doctor (PROSE: The Tomorrow Windows) where the Doctor's ninth incarnation was a "listless-looking" man who prepared to marry his companion, he was killed by a Dalek gunstick blast intended for the Master.

	Ninth Doctor	Directly absorbed the heart of the TARDIS, and the energies of the Time Vortex itself, from the Bad Wolf to save the life of Rose Tyler, causing "every cell in his body" to die.	TV: The Parting of the Ways
	Tenth Doctor	Grazed by the blast from a Dalek gun stick, causing a regeneration. However, the Doctor directed the regeneration energy to his severed hand, aborting a full regeneration by healing the damage he had sustained before needing to change bodies. This resulted, later down the line, in the creation of a meta-crisis Tenth Doctor and of the DoctorDonna.	TV: The Stolen Earth TV: Journey's End
		Radiation poisoning intentionally incurred in order to save the life of Wilfred Mott.	TV: The End of Time
	Eleventh Doctor	Believed to be near death from old age, a new regeneration cycle granted by the Time Lords automatically triggered a regeneration.	TV: The Time of the Doctor
	Twelfth Doctor	Electrocuted by a CyberMondan, but delayed the regenerative process. Later shot repeatedly by another Cyberman and caught in a massive explosion, triggering the regeneration further.

		According to another account, which did not specify the War Chief as a past incarnation of the Master, after being shot by the War Lord, the War Chief managed a partial regeneration into a deformed incarnation who called himself "Felix Kriegsleiter" during his activities in 1940s Germany, and continued to help the War Lord's people.

PROSE: The Velvet Dark
		According to one account, after having his Tremas form converted into a genetically-accurate Gallifreyan body using Tzun nanites, the Master was shot by Ace, and regenerated into a new incarnation.	PROSE: First Frontier
	Old Master	According to one account, pulled himself back together from his ashes as a Deathworm Morphant after being exterminated by the Daleks.	TV: Doctor Who

	The Lumiat	Shot by Missy after she "[grew] bored" of her, and was forced to regenerate.	AUDIO: The Lumiat
