what finding indicates CKD rather than AKI
hypocalcaemia
safe to continue in AKI
- Paracetamol
- Warfarin
- Statins
- Aspirin (at a cardioprotective dose of 75mg od)
- Clopidogrel
- Beta-blockers
should be stopped in AKI as may worsen renal function
- NSAIDs (except if aspirin at cardiac dose e.g. 75mg od)
- Aminoglycosides
- ACE inhibitors
- Angiotensin II receptor antagonists
- Diuretics
Should be stopped in AKI as increase risk of toxicity but doesnt actually worsen renal function
- Metformin
- Lithium
- Digoxin
stage 1 AKI
creatinine 1.5-1.9 x baseline
stage 2 AKI
creatinine 2-2.9 x baseline
stage 3 AKI
creatinine 3 x baseline
calcium gluconate effect
stabilises cardiac membrane, does not lower potassium levels
risk of using NaCl for fluid therapy in large volumes
hyperchloraemia metabolic acidosis
tx of hypertension in CKD
ACEi
T1 resp failure
hypoxia without hypercapnia
