Drug-Induced Kidney Disease Flashcards
Causes for prerenal AKI
Volume Depletion
- Hemorrhagic
- GI losses
- Renal losses: Drug-induced, osmotic diuresis, diabetes insipidus
- Skin losses: Burns
- Third spacing (hypoalbuminemia)
Functional
- ACE-1, ARB
- NSAIDs
List causes for Acute tubular necrosis
Exogenous toxins:
- Nephrotoxic drugs
- Contrast
List causes for post renal AKI
Obstruction:
- BPH
- Tumor (malignancy)
- Anticholinergic drugs
- Displaced bladder catheter
What is the MC presentation of DIKD in hospitalized patients?
Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN)
List the nephrotoxic agents that cause AKI
- Aminoglycosides
- Contrast
- Amphotericin B
- Osmotically active agents
Pathogenesis in hemodynamically mediated kidney injury
Decrease in glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure
List the agents that cause hemodynamically mediated kidney injury
- ACE-1
2. NSAIDs
How many days after you initiated therapy would you see clinical manifestations of acute allergic interstitial nephritis (AIN)? Sx’s?
14 days
- Fever
- Maculopapular rash
- Eosinophilia
- Arthralgia
- Hematuria, proteniuria, oliguria
What is the most common electrolyte disorder?
Hyperkalemia
What other electrolyte disorders do we see in kidney disease?
- Hyperglycemia and insulin resistance
2. Hypertriglyceridemia
What is the pathogenesis of ATN with Aminoglycosides abx
Accumulation of high drug concentration in tubular epithelial cells leads:
- Tubular damage
- Kidney necrosis
How many days after initiation of Aminoglycosides do we see evidence of injury?
5-10 days
What is one of the main risk factors in ATN with the use of Aminoglycosides?
Pre-existing clinical condition
- Dehydration*
- CKD
- DM
What is the main preventative strategy in ATN with the use of Aminoglycosides?
Avoid volume depletion
Pathogenesis of Contrast-Induced Nephrotoxicity (CIN)
Renal ischemia from systemic hypotension and acute vasoconstriction (contrast is a vasoconstrictor) d/t disruption of normal RBF
Clinical presentation of Contrast-Induced Nephrotoxicity (CIN)
- Injury present w/in 24-48 hrs of administration
- Serum Cr peaks w/in 3-5 days
- Recovery in 7-10 days
Risk factors in Contrast-Induced Nephrotoxicity (CIN)
- Pre-existing kidney dz, GFR <60 mL/min
- Decreased RBF: CHF, dehydration
- Concurrent use of nephrotoxins: NSAIS, ACE-1
