Q

Describe the RAAS system

A

Liver releases angiotensinogen and in response to that kidney releases renin, angiotensinogen plus renin produces angiotensin 1… once it circulates to lungs, lungs release ACE.. ACE plus angiotensin 1 makes angiotensin 2… when that gets to adrenal glands it makes aldosterone… aldosterone increases reabsorption of sodium which increases fluid on board which increases bp and it also decreases potassium because it leaves through the urine have to keep in mind… angiotensin 2 (at level of kidneys) causes vasoconstriction in arterioles of kidneys which increases bp

88
Q

What happens in AKI?

A

Initiation phase- sudden increase in BUN and creatinine
Oliguria phase- can be life threatening, less than 400ml urine per day, uric acid, potassium, BUN, nitrogen and creatinine all sky high (longer it goes on, more dangerous it is); dialysis needed
Diuresis phase- start slowly putting out urine and getting rid of metabolic waste, lab values start to stabilize naturally, can become dehydrated so strict I/O monitoring

120
Q

what is hyperacute organ rejection and when does it take place?

A

within 48 hours after surgery;
Etiology: An antibody mediated response causing small blood clots to form in the transplanted organ (kidney) that occlude vessels and result in massive cellular destruction. This process is not reversible.
Findings: Fever, hypertension, pain at the transplant site (flank pain)
Treatment: Immediate removal of the donor kidney

121
Q

What is acute organ rejection and when does it take place?

A

days to weeks after surgery;
Etiology: an antibody mediated response causing vasculitis in the donor kidney, and cellular destruction starts with inflammation that causes lysis of the donor kidney
Findings: Oligulia, anuria, low-grade fever, hypertension, tenderness at the transplant site, lethargy, azotemia, and fluid retention
Treatment: increased doses of immunosuppressive medications

122
Q

What is chronic organ rejection and when does it take place?

A

gradually over months to years;
Etiology: Blood vessel injury from overgrowth of smooth muscles from the blood vessels causing fibrotic tissue to replace normal tissue resulting in nonfunctioning donor kidney
Findings: gradual return of azotemia, fluid retention, electrolyte imbalance and fatigue
Treatment: conservative to start (monitor kidney function status, electrolytes, continue immunosuppressive therapy) until dialysis is needed.
