AKI Flashcards
AKI can be __ or ___
which is worse?
oliguric
non-oliguric
*oliguric is worse
acute kidney injury definition
GFR decreases by >/ 25% within hours to days
three categories acute kidney injury
hemodynamic or pre-renal-imbalance of blood supply an ddemand
intrinsic or renal-okay blood supply with direct injury
obstructive or post-renal
what phase persists as long as insult is present?
apoptosis and sloughing phase
what do sympethetics do in renal injury
vasocon–>decrease renal BF–>increase NA reabs
pre-renal azotemia
littel, concentrated low Na urine; pre-renal
muddy brown casts
acute tubular necrosis
what is the main shift between AKI and ATN
urine osmolarity becomes isothenuric to the plasma
clinical causes of hemodynamic acute kidney injury
decrease in ECFV
- -hypobvolemia (hemorrhage, diarrhea)
- -hypervolemia (edematous state)
- -euvolemia (sepsis, SIRS, cap leak)
three types of intrinsic (renal) AKI
glomerular
tubulo-interstital
vascular
three ways tubular injury causes a decrease in GF
sloughing off cells decreases GFR
back-leak- holes in tubule let filtered blood go back
macula densa senses increased Na and Cl flow–>increases afferent tone–> decreases GFR
when does allergic interstital nephritis start
7ish days after causative agent
what will you see with AIN
WBC in urine
hallmark of rhabdo
pink urine + for heme but no blood on microscopy
treat of rhabdo
hydration and alkalinization of urine
