approach to proteinuria, oliguria, and polyuria Flashcards
definitions: Anuria? Oliguria? Polyuria? Azotemia? Uremia?
Anuria: UOP < 50-100 mL/aday
Oliguria: UOP < 400-500 ml/day
Polyuria: UOP > 3000 ml/day
Azotemia: elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) without symptoms
Uremia: Elevated BUN with symptoms (N/V, confusion, pruritus, metallic taste in mouth, fatigue, anorexia)
-symptoms of uremia are non-specific with multiple etiologies causing them
what is the definition of CKD
markers of kidney damage: albuminuria
- urine sediment abnormalities
- electrolyte and other abnormalities due to tubular disorders
- abnormalities detected by histology
- strctural abnormalities detected by imaging
- history of kidney transplant
or
GFR< 60 ml/min
has to be present for > 3 months
-if not it is an AKI
which is worse stage 1 or 5 CKD
Stage 5 < 15 GFR
what are major risk for CKD
DM
HTN
Cardiovascular disease
Acute Kidney Injury
what are some signs and symptoms of CKD
some patients are asymptomatic and find out when coming in for routine lab testing
- Edema
- HTN
- Decreased urine output
- Foamy urine
- Uremia
- Pericardial friction rub
- Asterixis
- Uremic frost
what are 3 simple tests to identify most CKD patients
- eGFR
- Urine albumin to creatinine ratio or urine protein to creatinine ratio
- urinalysis with microscopy
- renal biopsy
what is the limitations to eGFR?
- not reliable when GFR > 60 ml/min
- not reliable in AKI
- Not reliable in low muscle mass
- Patient is < 18
what are the renal U/S findings for CKD
- Atrophic or small kidneys
- Cortical thinning
- Increased echogenicity
- Elevated resistive indices
CKD treatments for proteinuria
low salt diet
BP control
ACEi ARB aldosterone antagonist, renin inhibitor, non dihydropyridine CCB
CKD treatment for HTN
SBP < 120 mmHg
CKD treatment for hyperlipidemia
Statin
CKD treatment for anemia
Oral or IV iron
EPO stimulating agents
CKD treatment for Metabolic acidosis
Bicarbonate supplementation if HCO3
CKD treatment for CKD BMD
previously known as renal osteodystrophy
- secondary hyperparathyroidism
- renal failure diet (low salt, potassium and phosphorus
- Vitamin D supplementation
CKD treatment for VOlume overload
Diuretics, fluid restriction, or dialysis
what are the renal replacement therapies
Hemodialysis
Peritoneal dialysis
Renal transplantation
What are the indications for dialysis
A: severe acidosis
E: Electrolyte disturbance (usually hyperkalemia
I: Ingestion (ex: ethylene glycols, methanol, etc)
O: Volume overload
U: Uremia
what are the two ways that AKI are defined
Serum creatinine increase or Urine output decrease
which ever one is the worse is how it is staged
What are the causes of Prerenal AKI
Hypotension Hypovolemia Reduced cardiac output -HF, Cardiac tamponade, massive PE Systemic vasodilation -sepsis, SIRS, Hepatorenal syndrome
what are the causes of Intrinsic AKI
Acute tubular necrosis
- ischemia
- toxins
Interstitial Nephritis
Glomerulonephritis
What is the clinical presentation of AKI
similar to CKD
- Edema
- HTN
- Decreased urine output
- Foamy urine
- SOB
- Uremia (N/V, confusion, pruritus, metallic taste in mouth)
- Pericardial friction rub
- asterixis
- uremic frost
what are the common diagnostic test of AKI
UA with urine microscopy
Urine albumin/cr ratio or protein/cr ratio
Renal U/S
what is a >20:1 BUN: Creatinine ratio suggestive of
Prerenal azotemia
what is a fractional excretion of Na indicative of
FeNa < 1% = prerenal azotemia
FeNa> 2% = ATN
what is a fractional excretion of Urea indicative of
FeUrea < 35% = prerenal azotemia
FeUrea > 50 % = ATN
Urinary pattern: Renal tubular epithelial celss, transitional epithelial cells, granular cells, or waxy casts
Acute tubular necrosis
urinary pattern: WBC, WBC cast or urine eosinophils
Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) or pylonephritis
urinary pattern: Dysmorphic RBCs, RBC casts
Vasculitis or Glomerulonephritis
urinary pattern: Proteinuria (<3.5g/day), hematuria, dysmorphic RBC and RBC casts
Nephritic syndrome
