AKI Flashcards
Renal Failure based on RIFLE criteria
inc in Cr by 3, or .5 over Cr-4,
Prerenal Una, FENA, FEurea
<20, <1%, <35%
Renal(ATN) Una, FENA, FEurea
> 40, >2%, >50%
muddy brown casts and epithelial casts
ATN
WBC casts or waxy casts
AIN
type 1 HRS time frame? Type 2 time frame?
2 weeks/weeks to months
treatment for HRS?
albumin and vasoconstrictors
how does albumin and vasoconstrictors treat HRS?
reverse splanchnic arterial vasodilation and restores effective circulating volume
RBC casts, dysmorphic red cells on UA?
Acute GN
KDIGO guidelines for contrast?
isotonic fluids, hold metforming 48h after, iso or hypoosmolar contrast
Rhabdo UA?
pigmented casts, blood but no RBC
UOP goal for rhabdo?
maintain 200-300 cc/hr
other treatment modalities for rhabdo?
mannitol- free radicals, urine alkalinization
irreversible cellular damage due to prolonged azotemia?
ATN
fever, rash, flank pain, eosinophiluria, WBC casts?
AIN
treatment for AIN?
fluids, steroids->MMF cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide
KDIGO criteria for AKI?
> .3 from baseline, >1.5 in 48h,
pathophysiology of rhabdo?
depletion of ATP leads to unregulated calcium and persistent muscle contraction leading to myocyte destruction
fluid rate initially for rhabdo?
1-2 L/ hr
2 MOA of HRS?
arterial vasodilation with reduced SVR and CO
activation of RAAS
timing of atheroemboli AKI post PCI?
weeks
Causes of atn
Prolong ischemia, sepsis, surgery, drugs, contrast, Heme
Timing of CIN
24-48h
rhabdo causes what kind of kidney injury?
ATN from myoglobin
in ATN any benefit to lasix?
no
mortality difference between oliguric or non oliguric renal failure?
no
BUN/Cr ratio > 20:1,
prerenal AKI
Uosm 300- 500, uNA 10-30, BUN/Cr ratio 10-20:1
obsrtuctive AKI
BUN/Cr <10:1
intrinsic AKI
hyaline casts versus granular casts
hyaline in prerenal, and granular in ATN
high urine urea?
gout and TLS
treatment of bleeding patients with uremia?
DDAVP and dialysis
rhabdomyolysis tx?
fluids and alkalinization can be beneficial
areas of the nephron most at risk from renal hypoperfusion?
straight segment of the proximal tubule, distal straight tubule
