Q

How can clinicians prevent DIKD with ACEi/ARBs?

Study These Flashcards
A

Start at low doses and titrate as needed

17
Q

How can clinicians manage DIKD with ACEi/ARBs?

Study These Flashcards
A

Monitor hyperkalemia

18
Q

What is the pathophysiologic mechanism of ACEi/ARBs?

Study These Flashcards
A

Dilates efferent arteriole leading to a reduced GFR

19
Q

What is the presentation of NSAIDs/COXi in prerenal activity?

Study These Flashcards
A

Low urine output, weight gain, edema within 2-7 days of initiating

20
Q

What are the risk factors of NSAIDs/COXi in prerenal activity?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Age > 65 yo
  • Concomitant use of ACEi/ARBs or diuretics
  • Heart failure
  • Hepatic disease/ascites present
  • Hypovolemia
  • SLE
21
Q

How can clinicians manage DIKD with NSAIDs/COXi?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Switch to APAP or analgesics with less prostaglandins inhibition
22
Q

What is pathophysiologic mechanism of NSAIDs/COXi?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Constrict afferent arteriole leading to a reduced GFR
23
Q

What is the presentation of calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus/cyclosporine) in prerenal activity?

Study These Flashcards
A

SCr rises, oliguria, hyperkalemia, hypomagnesemia

24
Q

What are the risk factors of calcineurin inhibitors?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Age > 65 yo
  • Drug-drug interactions
  • High doses
  • Concomitant use w/ nephrotoxic drugs
  • Polymorphic P-gp expression
25
How can clinicians prevent DIKD with calcineurin inhibitors?
Monitor serum trough levels
26
What is the pathophysiologic mechanism of calcineurin inhibitors?
Reduce vasodilators synthesis and increase vasoconstrictors unbalancing the afferent and efferent arterioles leading to a reduced GFR
27
What is the pathophysiologic mechanism of SGLT-2 inhibitors in prerenal activity?
- Volume depletion occurs | - Afferent arteriole becomes constricted from tubuloglomerular feedback from macula densa
28
What are the risk factors of SGLT-2 inhibitors?
- Age > 65 yo - Volume depleted - Concomitant use of nephrotoxic agents
29
How can clinicians prevent DIKD with SGLT-2 inhibitors?
If eGFR < 30 mL/min, avoid the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors
30
What is the presentation of aminoglycosides in acute tubular necrosis?
Non-oliguria presents within 5-7 days of initiation
31
What are the risk factors of aminoglycosides?
- Aggressive dosing - Prolonged therapy - High trough levels exceeding 2 mcg/mL - Concomitant use of nephrotoxic drugs
32
How can clinicians prevent DIKD with aminoglycosides?
Switch from conventional to high-dose extended interval dosing
33
How can clinicians manage DIKD with aminoglycosides?
RRT may be needed in severe patients
34
What is the pathophysiologic mechanism of aminoglycosides in acute tubular necrosis?
- Accumulates in the PCT leading to generation of oxygen reactive species - Cell sloughing causes tubular obstruction and reduction in eGFR
35
What is the presentation of radiocontrast media in acute tubular necrosis?
Non-oliguria within 24-48 hrs of initiation
36
What are some risk factors of radiocontrast media?
- Pre-existing renal disease - HF - Diabetic kidney disease - Concomitant use of nephrotoxic agents - Dehydration
37
How can clinicians prevent DIKD with the use of radiocontrast media?
- Minimizing contrast dose - Use low osmolar nonionic agents - Use alternative imaging techniques that do not require contrast
38
What is the pathophysiologic mechanism of radiocontrast media in acute tubular necrosis?
- Renal ischemia | - Direct cellular toxicity leads to ATN
