aki and ckd Flashcards
Acute kidney disease
reversible, sudden loss of kidney funcrtion accompanied by a rise in creatinine and or reduction of urine output
causes of aki
prerenal
intrinsic
postrenal
prerenal
reversible caused by: Severe blood loss and low blood pressure, can be corrected if these are corrected
ex: medication affect blood supply
surgery
intrinsic
occurs when direct damage to the kidneys causes a sudden loss in kidney function.
acute tubular necrosis, low bp, glumerular nephritis
postrenal
occurs when an obstruction in the urinary tract (bladder) below the kidneys causes waste to build up in the kidneys
just correct obstruction
examples calculi, enlarged prostate
signs of aki
hyperkaleamia
fluid retention
metabolic acidosis
treatment of aki
pharmacological therapy
renal replacement therapy
pharmacological therapy
duiretics
Antiapoptosis/Necrosis Agents
Antisepsis
renal replacement therapy
therapy that replaces the normal blood-filtering function of the kidneys.
dailysis
phases of aki
early diuretic phase
late diuretic phase
recovery phase
early diuretic phase
The kidneys try to heal and urine output increases immediately after no urine output for a long time up to 5 liters per day
late diuretic phase
urea and creatinine stop rising
recovery phase
falling of urea and creatinine levels, 60% of patient who recovered have long term damage in kidneys
nursing management of aki
accurate fluid balance
mdt approach
adequate intravascular volume and cardiac output
aseptic technique
chronic kidney disease
the progressive decline in kidney function following injury to the nephrons
