AKI Flashcards
AKI Def
sudden drop in GFR (increase plasma creatinine), decreased urine output
general AKI treatment
address underlying, stop offending, dose for GFR 0, manage electrolytes, diuress
three classifications of AKI
pre renal, intra renal, post relay
pre renal (perfusion) clin
low FeNa, low urine sodium .
pre renal path
decrease PGC: afferent resistance, efferent resistance, drop in systemic PB
intrinsic clin
urine abnormalities (protein, RBC, casts, WBC, sodium
ATN, AIN, RPGN urine
ATN: muddy
AIN: WBC
RPGN: RBC/erythroctes
intrinsic path
tubular interstitial or glomerular. less nephrons/tubular feedback
obstructive path
increase PBS, increase pressure in collecting system… BPH/prostatitis
risk factors for AKi
CID, advanced age, DM, underlying heart or liver disease (decreased perfusion)
AKI basic clinical
impaired clearance, fluid overload, hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis
intrinsic physical exam
look for perfusion issues plus fever/rash (AIN)
obstructive physical exam
suprapubic fullness, CVA tenderness
crystals in urine sed is suggestive of what
obstructive (may also have RBC)
which AKI have minimal protinuria
perffusion and obstructive
