Q

Describe the pathogenesis of Aminoglycoside (AG) nephrotoxicity

A
  • accumulation of high concentrations w/in tubular epithelial cells –> kidney necrosis

Q

Risk factors for CIN

Study These Flashcards
A
  • preexisting kidney disease, GFR <60
  • decreased renal blood flow
  • concurrent use of nephrotoxins (NSAIDS, ACEI’s)
25
Prevention for CIN
use alternative imaging procedures* | hydration
26
Pathogenesis of Amphotericin B Nephrotoxicity
- increasing permeability and necrosis | - reduction in renal blood flow exacerbates ischemia
27
Clinical presentation of Amphotericin B Nephrotoxicity
- Nonoligura (>500ml urine production/day) - K, Na, & Mg wasting - dysfunction apparent in 1-2 weeks - decr. in GFR, rise in serum Cr and BUN - damage may be irreversible
28
Prevention of Amphotericin B Nephrotoxicity
switching to liposomal form in high risk pt's increase infusion time alternative antifungal agents (azoles, caspofungin)
29
Pt's taking cyclosporine to prevent kidney allograft rejection often need ____, to distinguish transplant rejection from cyclosporine toxicity
A kidney biopsy
30
Pathogenesis of ACEI and ARB nephrotoxicity
- becomes nephrotoxic particularly when renal blood flow is reduced* - synthesis of Angiotensin II is decreased - efferent arteriole remains dilated - reduced outflow resistance from glomerulus - decreases hydrostatic pressure in glomerular capillaries
31
Presentation of ACEI and ARB nephrotoxicity
- decrease in urine output - acutely reduces GFR - serum Cr rise 30% w/in 3-5 days - stabilizes in 1-2 weeks - reversible upon stopping
32
Risk factors for ACEI and ARB nephrotoxicity
- patients dependent on renal vasoconstriction to maintain BP and GFR (renal a. stenosis) - decreased arterial blood volume
33
Prevention of ACEI and ARB nephrotoxicity
choose shorter acting agent in at risk pt's... | Captopril, enalapril > lisinopril, benazepril
34
Management of ACEI and ARB nephrotoxicity
- discontinue if serum Cr increases >30% above baseline over 1-2 wks - serum Cr and hyperkalemia will resolve over several days - re-initiation can be attempted after correcting volume depletion
35
Pathogenesis NSAIDs and COX2 selective nephrotoxicity
- inhibit synthesis of vasodilatory prostaglandins - unopposed renal vasoconstriction in afferent arteriole - promotes renal ischemia and GFR reduction
36
Presentation of NSAIDs and COX2 selective nephrotoxicity
- occurs w/in days of event - diminished urine output - weight gain or edema - elevated serum Cr, BUN, K, and BP
37
Biggest risk factor for NSAIDs and COX2 selective nephrotoxicity
Age >60
38
Management of NSAIDs and COX2 selective nephrotoxicity
injury is rarely severe | recovery is usu. rapid
39
Prevention of NSAIDs and COX2 selective nephrotoxicity
- avoid potent compounds in high risk groups (indomethacin) - use analgesics w/less PGE inhibition (APAP) - consider drugs w/short half lives (Sulindac) - COX-2 agents have similar renal effect (Meloxicam, Celecoxib)
40
drugs that account for 70% of cases of acute allergic interstitial nephritis
``` penicillins ciprofloxacin nsaids, cox2 inhibitors PPI's Loop diuretics ```
41
What medication causes papillary necrosis?
NSAID's
42
What drugs cause chronic interstitial nephritis
Cyclosporine | lithium
43
Methicillin-induced allergic interstitial nephritis (AIN) pathogenesis
- diffuse infiltrate of lymphocytes, eosinophils, neutrophils - tubular necrosis is relatively common
44
Methicillin-induced allergic interstitial nephritis (AIN) clinical presentation
- assoc. w/ beta-lactam abx - presents 14 days after initiation of therapy - fever, macropupular rash, eosinophilia, arthralgia, oliguria
45
Methicillin-induced allergic interstitial nephritis (AIN) management
corticosteroids should be initiated immediately
46
Intratubular obstruction is caused by which meds?
acyclovir sulfonamides methotrexate
47
nephrolithiasis is caused by which meds?
Sulfonamides Ciprofloxacin Amoxicillin Nitrofurantoin
48
Examples of intratubular obstruction from crystal nephropathy
precipitation of drug crystals in tubular lumen hyperuricemia rhabdomyolysis
49
Which drugs are highly associated with rhabdomyolysis? and when is risk increased?
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (simvastatin, lovastatin) risk increased w/concurrent CYP34A drugs (Gemfibrozil, Niacin, Erythromycin)
50
Clinical presentation of nephrolithiasis
pain, hematuria, infection, urinary tract obstruction | GFR not usu. decreased
51
What drugs are associated with renal vasculitis, thrombosis and cholesterol emboli?
vasculitis and thrombosis --> Hydralazine, methamphetamines Cholesterol emboli --> Warfarin, thrombolytic agents
52
How do pt's with renal vasculitis and thrombosis present?
hematuria, proteinuria, oliguria, red cell casts, and frequently along w/ fever, malaise, myalgias, arthralgias
53
What are important clues that a pt may have a renal cholesterol emboli?
purple discoloration of the toes | mottled skin over the legs
54
What is a hallmark sign of glomerular injury?
nephrotic range proteinuria (>3.5g/day) w/ or without a decline in GFR
55
which meds can lead to glomerular disease?
NSAID's & COX-2 inhibitors* gold lithium pamidronate
56
At what level in the nephron does ATN occur?
proximal tubules
57
What are signs of distal tubular injury?
polyuria from failure to maximally concentrate urine metabolic acidosis d/t urinary acidification hyperkalemia from impaired K+ excretion
58
What are signs of proximal tubular injury?
metabolic acidosis w/ bicarbonaturia | glycosuria in absence of hyperglycemia
59
What lab test/results indicate a drug-induced AKI?
- increase in serum Cr of greater or equal to 0.3mg/dL or 50% w/in 7 days - reduction in urine output (oliguria <0.5ml/kg/h for more than 6hrs)
