Acute Kidney Injury (Exam 2) Flashcards
acute kidney injury (aki)
abrupt decline in renal function
inability to properly excrete waste and maintain acid base balance
clinical definitions of AKI (4)
decrease of 25% or greater in estimated GFR
an increase in SCr of 0.5mg/dL or greater
an increase of 1mg/dL or more in SCr in pts with CKD
urine output <0.5mL/kg/hour for at least 6 hours
anuria urine output
<50 mL/day
non-oliguria urine output
greater than 500mL/day
better outcome
oliguria urine output
> 50mL but less than 500mL/day
normal urine output
1mL/kg/hour
diagnostic criteria for acute kidney injury network
an absolute increase in SCr of more than 0.3mg/dL
an increase in baseline SCr by 50% or more
urine output of less than 0.5mL/kg/hour for more than 6 hours
AGENTS used to treat/prevent AKI
thiazide diuretics
loop diuretics
potassium-sparing diuretics
thiazide diuretics
chlorothiazide - diuril
chlorthalidone
hydrochlorothiazide - microzide
indapamide
metolazone
loop diuretics drugs
bumetanide - bumex
ethacrynic acid - edecrin
furosemide - lasix
torsemide - demadex
potassium-sparing diuretics
amiloride
eplerenone - inspra
spironolactone - aldactone, carospir
triamterene - dyrenium
loop diuretics increase
renal blood flow and urine flow
General principles for prevention of AKI (4)
avoid nephrotoxic agents
ensure adequate hydration
patient education
drug therapies to decrease incidence of contrast induced nephropathy
N-acetylcysteine (NAC)
contrast induced nephropathy
well tolerated, little adverse effects
goals of therapy for AKI (5)
maintain appropriate BP
monitor and manage electrolytes daily
eliminate or minimize insult that precipitated AKI
facilitate renal recovery and minimize injury
expedite recovery of baseline renal function
Mannitol MOA
increases the osmotic pressure of glomerular filtrate which inhibts tubular reabsorption of water and electrolytes
what does Mannitol induce?
hyperosmolar state
