Q

What is the clinical presentation of AKI?

A
  • Clinical presentation of AKI is quite variable depending on severity of AKI
  • Many patients have no symptoms with mild AKI
  • Signs and symptoms of AKI include:

–Edema

–Hypertension

–Decreased urine output

  • Anuria
  • Oliguria
  • Non-oliguria

–Foamy urine (proteinuria)

–Hematuria

–Shortness of breath

•if pulmonary edema present

–Uremia (Nausea/vomiting, confusion, pruritus, metallic taste in mouth,

fatigue, anorexia, etc…)

–Pericardial friction rub

•Pericarditis and pericardial effusion

–Asterixis

–Uremic frost

18
Q

What are the common diagnostic tests for AKI?

A

Common Diagnostic test:

  • UA with microscopy
  • Urine albumin/crratio or protein/crratio
  • Renal U/S
19
Q

What are the complications of AKI?

A

•Hypervolemia

–Pulmonary edema

–Heart failure

•Electrolyte abnormalities

–Hyperkalemia

–Hyperphosphatemia

–Hypocalcemia

–Hypermagnesemia

  • Hyperuricemia
  • Uremia
  • Pericarditis
  • Metabolic acidosis
  • Bleeding

–Platelet dysfunction, BUN > 100 mg/dL

•Need for dialysis

20
Q

What is the treatment of AKI?

A

•Depends on etiology

–Prerenal patients need IV fluid

–Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) patients need supportive care

–Glomerulonephritis could need immunosuppression or plasmapheresis

–Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) needs discontinuation of offending agent and/or steroids (controversial)

  • Correct underlying disease if possible
  • Mostly supportive

–Avoid Hypotension

–DiscontinueNephrotoxins(Antibiotics, NSAIDs, ACEi/ARBs, PPI, IV Contrast, etc…)

–Renal replacement if needed

  • Usually hemodialysis
  • Timeis nephrons!
21
Q

What are the parameters of nephrotic syndrome?

A

•Nephrotic syndrome

–Proteinuria

•> 3-3.5 grams/day

–Hypoalbuminemia

–Peripheral edema

–Hyperlipidemia

–Lipiduria

22
Q

–If serum albumin is normal in setting of nephrotic range proteinuria, then the patient…

A

•Key Point:

–If serum albumin is normal in setting of nephrotic range proteinuria, then patient does not have true nephrotic syndrome but instead has nephrotic range proteinuria

–Helps with differential (i.e. possible Secondary FSGS)

23
Q

What are the complications of nephrotic syndrome?

A

•Edema

–Low serum albumin but more likely increased urinary sodium retention

–Increased TBW and Na+

•Hyperlipidemia

–Etiology not well understood

–Low oncotic pressure stimulates hepatic lipoprotein synthesis resulting in hypercholesterolemia

•Infection

–Urinary loss of IgG

–Occasionally have to supplement with IVIG

•Thrombosis

–Etiology not well understood

•Venous or arterial thrombosis

–Higher risk when Albumin < 2.0 or 2.5 g/dL

–Urinary loss antithrombotic factors

•Antithrombin III, plasminogen, protein S, etc…

–Increased levels of procoagulant factors

•↑ Fibrinogen, Coagulation Factors (II, V, VII, VIII, X, XIII), etc…

24
Q

What are the two theories that state why people with nephrotic syndrome have edema?

A
  • Low intravascular oncotic pressure (Underfilltheory)
  • Renal sodium retention (Overfill theory)

–Secondary to low renal perfusion from low effective circulating volume (RAAS activation)

–Primary sodium retention by the kidneys

25
Q

What is the clinical presentation of nephrotic syndrome?

A

•Clinical presentation of nephrotic syndrome is quite variable depending on severity of the underlying disease

•

•Classic presentation:

–New onset hypertension

–New onset edema

  • Severe anasarcapossible
  • SOB from pulmonary edema or pleural effusion

–Proteinuria

  • Typically > 3.5 g/day
  • Foamy urine

–Lipiduria

–Hyperlipidemia

–Minimal hematuria

•

•May have renal failure

–AKI v. CKD depending on duration of glomerulonephritis

26
Q

How does one diagnosis nephrotic syndrome?

A
  • Serum creatinine with eGFR
  • Urinalysis with microscopy
  • Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio and urine protein-to-creatinine ratio
  • 24 hour urine total proteincollection
  • Glomerulonephritis serologic evaluation
  • Renal biopsy
27
Q

What is the nephritic syndrome parameters?

What is the most important point to remember about this?

A

•Nephritic syndrome

–Proteinuria

•Usually < 3.5 grams/day

–Hematuria

–HTN

–Renal failure common

•Key Point:

–Usually have active urinary sediment

•i.e., hematuria, dysmorphic RBCs, RBC casts, WBCs, WBC casts, granular casts, etc…

–On the contrary, nephrotic syndrome typically has “bland” urinary sediment

28
Q

What is the clinical presentation of nephritic syndrome?

A

•Clinical presentation of nephritic syndrome is quite variable depending on severity of the underlying disease

•

•Classic presentation:

–New onset hypertension

–New onset hematuria

  • Microscopic or
  • Gross hematuria (typically with upper respiratory infections particularly with IgA Nephropathy or PIGN)

–Acute kidney injury (AKI)

•Severe cases may have a rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) over days to weeks

–Proteinuria

  • Typically < 3.5 g/day
  • Foamy urine

•

•Can have edema but typically less severe when compared to nephrotic syndrome

29
Q

How does one diagnose nephritic syndrome?

A
  • Serum Creatinine with eGFR
  • Urinalysis with microscopy
  • Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio and urine protein-to-creatinine ratio
  • 24 hour urine total proteincollection
  • Glomerulonephritis serologic evaluation
  • Renal biopsy
30
Q

what are the urinary microscopy clues for UTI, nephritic syndrome, nephrotic syndrome?

what about prerenal azotemia, vasculitis, AIN or pyelo?

what about ATN?
