Approach to Proteinuria, Oliguria, and Polyuria Flashcards
What are the criteria for CKD?
Markers or kidney damage OR decreased GFR
for greater than 3 months
What is the criteria for AKI?
GFR less than 60 and/or markers of kidney damage
less than 3 months
In the absence of kidney damage neither GFR category stage 1 or stage 2 can fulfill the criteria for what condition?
CKD
What are the risk factors for CKD?
What is the major cause?*
DM*
HTN*
CVD
AKI
What are some s/s of CKD?
often asymptomatic
Edema
HTN
decreased UOP
Foamy urine (proteinuria)
uremia (n/v/confusion, metalic taste)
Pericardial friction rub
asterixis
uremic frost
What are the three simple tests to ID most CKD pt’s?
eGFR
urine-albumine-to-creatinine ratio or urine protien-to-creatinine ratio
urinalysis
What renal U/S findings are significant for CKD?
atrophic or small kidneys
cortical thinning
increased echogenicity
elevated resistive indices
What is renal replacement therapy?
hemodialysis
peritoneal dialysis
renal transplantation
What are the indications for dialysis?
AEIOU
A-severe acidosis
E-Electrolyte disturbance
I-Ingestion
O-volume Overload
U-Uremia
staging of AKI is based on what two things?
Serum Creatinine
or
Urine Ouput
(whichebver is worse)
What will a prerenal etiology of AKI look like?
hypotension
hypovolemia
reduced cardiac output with HF, tamponade or PE
systemic vasodilation (sepsis, SIRS, hepatorenal)
What will a postrenal etiology of AKI look like?
bladder outlet obstruction (BPH, cancer)
ureteral obstruction (stones, malig., fibrosis)
renal pelvis issues (stones, necrosis)
What are the three intrinsic etiologies of AKI?
ATN (ischemia > toxins)
Interstitial nephritis
Glomerulonephritis
What are the s/s of AKI?
Same as CKD
(duration is shorter)
What are the common diagnostic tests for AKI?
UA with micro
Urine alb/cr ratio or protein/cr ratio
Renal US
What BUN/Cr ratio is suggestive of PRerenal Azotemia?
>20:1
