Exam 2: care of pts with renal disorders and acute and chronic kidney problems Flashcards
Polycystic kidney disease genetics
Inherited disorder: fluid-filled cysts develop in nephrons
- Dominant
- Recessive
Polycystic kidney disease interventions
- Acute and chronic pain
- Constipation
- Infection
antibiotics - Hypertension
Ace inhibitors, CCB, Beta blockers
Low sodium diet
Treatment for renal failure
Acute Kidney Injury: RIFLE classification criteria: Risk-
- GFR Criteria: Increased creatinine x1.5 or GFR decrease > 25%
- Urine output criteria: UO < 0.5 mL/kg/hr x 6hrs
Acute Kidney Injury: RIFLE classification criteria: Injury-
- GFR criteria: Increased creatinine x2 or GFR decrease > 50%
- Urine output criteria: UO < 0.5 mL/kg/hr x 12hrs
Acute Kidney Injury: RIFLE classification criteria: Failure-
- GFR criteria: Increasedd creatinine x3 or GFR decrease > 75%
- Urine output criteria: UO < 0.3 mL/kg/hr x 24hr or Anuria x 12hrs
Acute Kidney Injury: RIFLE classification criteria: Loss-
Persistent Acute renal failure = complete loss of kidney function > 4 weeks
Acute Kidney Injury: RIFLE classification criteria: End stage Kidney disease
> 3 months
Phases of Acute kidney injury: Prerenal-
- Decrease in renal blood flow caused by decreased circulating volume secondary to dehydration, hypotension, decreased CO, embolism, sepsis.
- Prolonged hypotension
- Prolonged low cardiac output
- Prolonged volume depletion
- Renovascular thrombosis
Phases of Acute kidney injury: Intrarenal-
- Due to disturbances within the glomerulus or renal tubules
- Commonly called “Acute Tubular Necrosis”
- Actual nephron damage with decreased glomerular filtration.
- Kidney ischemia
- Endogenous toxins
- Exogenous toxins
- Infection
Phases of Acute kidney injury: Postrenal
Obstruction to urinary outflow from kidneys
- caused by obstructions such as Stenosis, Renal Calculi, Prostate disease, Bladder Obstruction or Infection.
Prerenal management
- Fluid bolus
- Monitor
- MAP
Medication - Consult
- Renal artery obstruction
- Renal toxins
Intrarenal management
- Fluid
- Monitor
- Dialysis
- Assess
- Medications
- Care & Comfort
Postrenal management
- Treat the cause
- Alleviate the obstruction
Chronic kidney injury: assessment/stages: Stage 1-
- At risk, normal kidney fxn, some structural or genetic trait point to kidney disease
- Estimated GFR: > 90 mL/min
Chronic kidney injury: assessment/stages: Stage 2-
- Mild CKD, reduced GFR
- Estimated GFR: 60-89 mL/min
