Oliguria
Anuria

Azotemia
Elevation in renal indices
BUN (technically)
Uremia
Syndrome
Accompanies kidney failure
Usually when advanced/severe
Fatigue, anorexia, nausea, mental status changes, itching
Serositis (pericarditis, pleural effusions)
Platelet dysfunction (anemia)
Acute decline in renal function
Old school: Acute Renal Failure (ARF)
New: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
Chronic decline in renal function
Old school: Chronic Renal Insufficiency (CRI)/ Chronic Renal Failure (CRF)
New: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Most advanced renal dysfunction
Still called End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
AKI
Acute Kidney Injury
Abrupt (within 48 hours) reduction in kidney function
CKD
Chronic Kidney Disease
Progressive decline in GFR over time
Duration at least 3 months
with or w/o albuminuria
Stage 2 CKD
Kideny damage with mild decrease in GFR 60-89
Stage 2 CKD
Kideny damage with mild decrease in GFRY 60-89
Stage 3 CKD
Moderate decrease in GFR 30-59
Stage 5 CKD
Kidney failure GFR
Stage 5 CKD
Acidemia
7.35-7.4
Alkalemia
7.4-7.45
