Acute Kidney Dz Flashcards
RIFLE (Risk Inj Failure Loss EndStage Renal Dz=ESRD)
Can dx spectrum of kid impairment/injury
Based on changes in serum CREATININE and UO
Severity classes; Risk, Inj, Failure (FIF)
Outcome classes: Loss, ESRD
Acute Kidney Injury AKI
Sudden decline in rx , GFR -> to go hospital
- failure ot excrete metabolic waster
- inability to maint fluid and electrolytes balance
- impaired acid-base regulation
Dx criteria: AKIN: Acute Kid Inj Network
Modification of RIFLE
Risk category: addition of 0.3 mg or higher increase in serum CREAT
Missed Dx of Inj and Failuer in RIFLE
Dx Limitations
Concordance btw serum CREAT and UP not established
Poor correlation betw AKI stage and GFR
Relies on relative changes in serum Creat
Independent of cause of AKI
RIFLE
Risk: Incr Cr x1.5 or GFR decrby >25% UO50% UO 75% OR Cr>4.0 (with acute rise of 0.5)
UO 4wk
E: ESRD = end stage renal dz
AKIN
stage 1: inc Cr x 1.5 UO < 0.5 x 6 hr
stage 2: inc Cr x 2 UP 4 (with acute rise of .5) UO < .3 x 24 hr or ———————————————————anuria x 12 hr
Stage 3 = dialysis
Nonoliguric
Oliguric
Anuric
nonoliguric > 400 mL/24 hr
Oliguric < 400 / 24 hrs
Anuric < 100 / 24 hrs
3 sources of injury
Prerenal
Intrarenal
Postrenal
Prerenal injury
Inadequate perfusion to kidney: Vascular deplesion (decreased volume): ---------true: Hemmorhage, GI: V/D, NG tube, pancreatitis; Renal (DKA, Addison's dz (dicr Aldo: decr volume); Cutaneous (burns, sweating) ---------effective: decr. Effective Circulating Volume: normovolemic, hypervolemic; vasoDILATION (sepsis=dilate, cirrhosis causes Ascites, anaphylactic shock decr TPR); decr CO (aortic stenosis); renal vasoCONSTRICTION (renal artery stenosis, FMD=familial muscular dz)
NSAIDS and ACE-I/ARB affect which arteriole in the glomerulus
NSAIDS: Afferent arteriole
ACE ARB: Efferent
A doesn’t equal Afferent
Intrarenal injury
glomerular
interstitial
vascular
TUBULAR (most)
Tubular Intrarenal Injury
1) Ishemic due to HTN, Sepsis = Acute Tubular Necrosis
2) Nephrotoxic due to
- —- meds: aminoglycosides, Amphotericin B, Cisplatin, CONTRAST
- —- CAST nephropathy (pathology in nephrons): Mult Meyloma (rare)
- —- Rhabdomyolysis (often): 92 yo fell, ironman (inc myoglobin)
CONTRAST nephropathy
renal TUBULAR epithilial cell toxicity and renal ischemia of medulla
- # 2 cause of acute kid injury in hosp pts
- Risks: age, dehydration, PRE-EXIST RENAL DZ, REPEATED CONTRAST, comorbid DM, CHF
prevention of contrast nephropathy
HYDRATION is key
Acetylcysteine - antidote to tylenol
NaHCO3- sodium bicard - still controvercial
Postrenal Injury
OBSTRUCTION (most) due to : retroperitoneal fibrosis bladder outlet obstruction stones tumors (press on ureter, urethra, bladder, kidney) clots BPH (older men) Can have any or all
hypotension (decreased vol) would lead to
Acute Tubular necrosis (part of Intrarenal)
Increased BUN and Cr may bd due to
Effective Volume depletion (dehydration?) = type of prerenal inj
Matastasis can lead to
Obstruction (Postrenal injury)
