Q

If Normal saline corrects BUN and creatinine, what does that tell you about the injury

A

pre-renal

17
Q

what damage do kidneys get from pre-renal damage

A

none

18
Q

why can albumin decrease in pre-renal AKI

A

because is an acute phase reactant

changes composition under certain stressors

19
Q

what are causes of pre-renal azothemia

A
intravascular volume depletion
decreased effective intravascular volume (cirrhosis, CHFm peritonitis)
systemic vasodilation (sepsis, hepatorenal syndrome)
large vessel renal vascular disease
20
Q

What meds make prerenal AKI worse

A
NSAIDs
ACEI
cyclosporine
tacrolimus
radiocontrast dyes
21
Q

ulnar deviation of wrist and fingers is indicative of what

A

rheumatoid arthritis

22
Q

what is the hypersensitivty reaction to med causing renal issues called

A

acute interstitial nephritis

23
Q

What can cause an extreme high BUN in an intra renal caused AKI

A

GI bleed

ulcer

24
Q

What would US look like from intrarenal ATN

A

looks normal

25
Q

Why would creatinine go up after a surgery for GI ulcer and dehydrated man suffering from acute interstitial nephritis that was just reperfused

A

part of the maintenance phase of kidney recovery from AKI

26
Q

what are the phases of recovery in AKI

A

initiation, extension, maintenance, recovery

27
Q

how do you Tx post renal ARF from obstruction

A

remove obstruction

28
Q

What is DIC

A

increased coagulopaty

more Hb etc..

29
Q

When giving fluids over period of time and shows worsening renal conditions what must you look at

A

intake and output of fluids each day

30
Q

what are some nephrotoxic medications

A
radiocontrast dye
acyclovir
sulfonamides
methotrexate
cyclosprine
tacrolimus
amphotericin B
aminoglycosides
cisplatin
pentamidine
ethylene glycol
toluene
cocaine
HMG-CoA reductase inhibirors
31
Q

what is prognosis of radiocontrast related nephropathy

A

gets better with time

32
Q

patient with purpura on skin and URI that won’t go away with hemoptysis
scan shows lung nodules
3-5 days at hospital, creatinine increased and patient had swelling and hyperkalemia (on acute dialysis)
US normal, UA negative for eosinophils
pre? intra? post renal?

A

intrarenal

no eosinophils- not acute interstitial nephritis

33
Q

RBC casts are indicative of what

A

glomerulonephropathy

34
Q

what GN involves lungs too

A

goodpastures and wegeners

35
Q

final step to Dx acute renal failure if blood tests and everythin unremarkable

A

biopsy
