ARF/CKD Flashcards
acute renal failure is the same thing as acute kindney injury. the rapid reduction of kidney function occurs over what time frame?
hours to days
Ability to regain kidney function is directly related to duration of ? and ?
oliguria and anuria
fancy name for build of nitrogenous waste =
azotemia
give me some examples of causes of pre-renal AKI
Reduced perfusion = PRERENAL
* Shock
* Hypotension
* Anything that blocks blood flow to kidneys (Atherosclerosis)
give me some examples of causes of intra-renal AKI
Kidney Damage = INTRARENAL
* Glomerulonephritis
* Lupus
* Drugs that damage to the kidney- drugs, aminoglycosides, IV contrast
* Toxins
* Ischemia
give me some examples of post-renal AKI
Obstruction = POSTRENAL
* Bladder Cancer
* Kidney Stones
* Prostate cancer or BPH
most patients in the hospital are at risk of develping what thing with their kidneys?
AKI (30% ICU, 10% general admission)
Pre and Post renal AKI compensate in what same 3 ways
- Activating R-A-A system
–> Increase the BP to increase chanse of perfusion - Constricting Kidney Blood Vessels
–>To raise the pressure and increase chance of perfusion - Releasing ADH
—> Hold onto salt and fluid to increase chance of perfusion
the result of pre and post renal compensation is….
- oliguria/anuria
- holding onto fluid + nitrogenous waste
- increasing blood volume and kidney perfusion
oliguria is < ____ ml day
400
assessment findings for AKI
oliguria
fluid overload/increase BP
N/V (azotemia)
Confusion (azotemia, poor brain perfusion)
AKI labs: elevated or low?
creatinine
BUN
K
all elevated!
3 early signs of AKI =
- low UOP
- edema
- increase creatinine
for AKI maintain a map > ____
65
interventions for AKI (4)
- central venous pressure monitoring thru superior vena cava
- CCB
- Nutrition/fluid
- dialysis (maybe- not everyone needs it)
how much protein should someone with AKI have?
40 g/ day (more if on dialysis )
