22
Q

What cells infiltrate and what will be seen on UA with Acute Interstitial Nephritis?

A

– WBC, eosinophils on UA

23
Q

Intrinsic AKI urine NA level

24
Q

Intrinsic AKI BUN/Cr ratio

25
Intrinsic AKI Uosm
< 350
26
Post-Renal AKI
Obstruction of urinary flow | -- Bilateral ureters or bladder outlet
27
What are the most common causes of Post-Renal AKIs?
BPH Blood clots Stones Compression
28
In all patients with an AKI, what tests should you at least get?
BMP | UA
29
What is the purpose of the Fractional Excretion of Sodium test (FENa)?
Differentiates between a Pre-Renal AKI and Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN)
30
How is FENa calculated?
Na excreted/Na filtered
31
FENa < 1%
Pre-Renal AKI
32
FENa > 2%
Acute Tubular Necrosis
33
If the patient is using _____ use the FEUrea instead
Diuretics
34
FEUrea < 35%
Pre-Renal AKI
35
FEUrea > 50%
Acute Tubular Necrosis
36
Treatment of an AKI depends on the cause. Is there a specific GFR or Creatinine cutoff for dialysis?
NO
37
What are some dialysis indications?
``` A - Acidosis E - Electrolytes I - Intoxication O - Overload U - Uremia (encephalopathy/pericarditis) ```
38
If the AKI lasts more than 3 months, what is it now?
CKD (chronic kidney disease)
39
If the GFR < 60, there is evidence of kidney damage and it has been < 3 months, what is the dx?
AKI
40
Stage 1 and 2 of CKD are not actually CKD if there is no?
No kidney damage
41
Stages of CKD with GFRs
``` 1 - > 90 2 - 60-89 3a - 45-59 3b - 30-44 4 - 15-29 5 - < 15 ```
42
What are the 2 main causes of CKD?
Diabetes and HTN
43
What are the 2 main causes of CKD?
Diabetes and HTN
44
How does CKD arise?
- Damage to nephrons and they die - Hyperfiltration/hypertrophy of remaining nephrons - Glomerular damage
45
CKD is usually _____
Asymptomatic
46
CKD can have all the same manifestations of AKI plus what 2?
Anemia | Bone pain and fragility
47
Why is Anemia present with CKD?
Decreased EPO and Iron
48
Why is Bone pain/fragility present with CKD? And list molecular changes
Decreased 1,25(OH)^2D => hypocalcemia => secondary hyperparathyroidism -- elevated PTH and phosphorus
49
What is a manifestation of the bone pain/fragility with CKD?
Osteitis Fibrosis Cystica
50
What will be seen with Osteitis Fibrosis Cystica?
Brown (hemorrhages) tumors in bone Bone cysts Subperiosteal bony reabsorption Fractures
