Acute Kidney Injury and Tubulointersticial Disease Flashcards
Guidelines for Acute Kideny Injury (AKI) (3)
- Incr in serum creatinine of 0.3mg/dL within 48HR.
- Incr serum creatinine of 1.5x the baseline level within 1 week
- Urine production of <0.5mL/kg/HR.per 6HR (oliguria)
Normal creatinine values males and females
-Males: 0.74-1.3 mg/dL
-Females: 0.5-1 mg/dL
Graph of your AKI
Prenal AKI mayor causes
-NSAIDS (chronic pain),Burns,Cardiogenic shock, Hemorrages,Diarrhea
-Hypo-albuminuria (Hepato-Renal syndrome)
-HF (Cardio-Renal syndrome)
-All relate Hypo-perfusion.
Pathophysiology of Pre-renal AKI..
-Hypoperfusion–>Incr. RAAS system–>Hypertension+reabsp of H2O and Na+(less Na and H2O in urine)–>less H2O in lumen your BUN INCR.
-All this is possible because** tubules are NOT damaged**.
What do you expect in Pre-renal AKI
1.Urine osmolarity: concentrated or Diluted
2.GFR: incre or decr
3.Urine Na+ :incr or decr
4.FE%Na+ :incr or decr
5.serum BUN/Creatinine: incr or decr
1.Increase (>500mOsm/Kg)
2.Decr GFR
3.Decr. (<20)
4.Decr (1%)
5.Incr (20:1 ratio)
Why do you NOT see a AKI when only one kidney is affected?
-The other kidney will be able to withstand the load.
-Dosent permit increase in creatinine nor oliguria.
Post-Renal AKI associated with…(2)
-Pathophysiology
-Obstructions BELOW bladder–>in order to affect both kidneys.
-BPH,Post urethral valve (congenital), advanced stage cervical cancer.
-Backflow–> 1.Damaged Tubules:absp is affected (values as intrarenal)
2.Non-damgaed tubules:absp is FUNCTIONAL (values as Pre-renal)
Intra-Renal AKI sub-divisions(3) ans associations
-Vascular–>Vasculitis
-Glomerular-->Glomerulonephritis (RPGN)
-Tubular–>1.Acute Tubular Necrosis-->a)Ischemia and b)Toxins (myoglobin,aminoglycosides,contrast agents, metals,cisplatin)
2.Tubulointerstitial Nephritis (Tubular Acidosis, Pyelonephritis,Drugs)
What are the Toxins associated with Acute Tubular Necrosis in Intra-renal AKI?
-Myoglobin,Contrast agents, aminoglycosides,cisplatin,metals,MTX,anti-freeze
Pathophysiology of Intra-Renal AKI…
-NO Functional Tubules–>cannot regulate
What do you see in INTRA-RENAL AKI
1.Urine osmolarity: concentrated or Diluted
2.GFR: incre or decr
3.Urine Na+ :incr or decr
4.FE%Na+ :incr or decr
5.serum BUN/Creatinine: incr or decr
1.Diluted (<350)
2.-Decr GFR (specially in Acute Tubular Necrosis–>sloughing of cells casuing obstr–>incr glomerular hydrostatic pressure).
3.(>40)
4.(>2%)
5.(<15:1)
How so we differentiate between** Damaged Post renal AKI vs Acute Tubular Necrosis Intra renal AKI**?
-POST-RENAL Damaged:urianalysis (nothings)
-Acute Tubular Necrosis: urianalysis you see renal tubular cell cast (muddy brown app)
Acute Glomerulonephritis (Intra renal) present similar to…
WHY?
-Pre renal AKI
-Its not affecting Tubules,only the glomerulus
How to diffbetween Pre-renal AKI vs. Acute Glomerulonephritis (Intra-renal)?
-Pre-renal:urianalysis normal or Hyaline cast
-Acute Glomerulonephritis:RBC cast or hematuria
Can your Pre-renal and Post-renal AKI progress to Intra-renal AKI?
-YES
-This is why a patient that suffers a severe burn is given IV fluids immediatly do prevent progression to Intrarenal AKI.
Complications of AKI(3)
-Hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis and hyperurecemia–>serotitis.
Fill the table:
What are the 2 main causes of Acute Tubular Necrosis?
-Ischemia (any hypovolemia states–>cardiogenic shock, hemorrage, burns, sepsis,NSAIDS)–>how it relates to pre-renal injury progressing to intra-renal injury.
-Toxins (myoglobin–>rhabdomyolysis, so -statins may also cause it, cisplatin,MTX, antifreeze, aminoglycosides, metals (Lead), contrast dyes)
Prognosis of Acute Tubular Necrosis
Ischemia–>Poor
Toxins–>Good
Pathophysiology of Acute Tubular Necrosis..
-Ischemia (either toxins or ischemia by hypoperfusion)–>3 changes -Na+/K+ ATPase moves from basolateral to apical surface, -Integrins decr. and -Tight junctions also decr.–>NOT being able to reabsp. Na+, therfore incr lumen sodium promoting H2O to follow** and Epi cells are easier tu slough off–>causing lumen obstruction and **DECR GFR **due to backflow.
-The further decr in volume in blood due to H2O excretion will worsen the necrosis.
Why is Acute TubulaR Necrosis considered a Intrinsic AKI?
-Obstruction it has on renal tubules.
ATN ischemia associated with..
-NSAIDS,cardiogenic shock,Hemmorages,anythings that casues hypoperfusion.
-Same as Pre-renal injury.This is why we sat that pre-renal injuries cause Intrinsic AKI.
ATN toxin type is associated with…
-Aminoglycosides,contrats dyes,cisplation,anti-freeze, myoglobin,uric-acid,Lead poison….
Biopsy and location wise, how do you differentiate ischemia and toxin mediated ATN?
-Ischemia:dscontinous damage/Damages areas high in energy consumption (PCT and Asc Loop of Henle)
-Toxin:continous damage/ Damages first encountered area–>PCT.
What are the stages in ATN and what do you see?
1.Injury:decline urine output
2.Mantainance: INCR BUN/creatinine, oliguria (<400mL/Day),Hyperkalemia–>most comm cause of death due to fatal arrythmias. Last for 3 weeks
3.Recovery: Tubular Re-Epithelization.** HYPOKALEMIA**
Diagnosis and decribe what you see..(3)
-ATN
-Blockage on tubule lumen (WHY?)
-Muddy brown CAST (granular cast)-->necrosis of epi cells,
-Epi cell flattening
Lead posoning presentation?
-Inhb Ferrochelatase–>incr protoporphirin +Microcytic anemia+Basophilic stippling on Blood smear.
Causes of Interstitial nephritis (8)
-Drugs 5P’s (Pee-Diuretics-Thiazide and Furosemide./Pencillin and Chephalosporins /Rimfampin/PPI (Omeprazole)/Pain-free (NSAIDS) and Sulfa drugs)
-Infections:Acute and Chronic Pyelonephritis
-Toxins:Analgesic
-Metabolic:Light chains cast Nephropathy (M.M), Urate Nephropathy, Nephrocalcinosis, **Transplant rejection. **
Diagnosis
Inflamation of Renal interstitium and tubules relating drug use.
-Presentation is malaise,fever rash
-Interstitial Nephritis.
What mechanism of damage does Interstitial nephritis involve?
-Type 1 or 4 Hypersensitivity reaction.
-Drugs will act as a hapten–>triggering of Imm system.
