Q

How do you calculate FENA (the kidney’s ability to concentrate urine)?
Prerenal value
Intrinsic value
Postrenal value

A

(Pcr x Una) / (Pna * Ucr)) x 100

Prerenal value: <1%
- volume depletion state (renal tubules absorb Na and water in response)

Intrinsic value: >2%
- decreased ability of renal tubules to conserve sodium

Postrenal value: >4%

Q

What is the BUN/Cr of
Prerenal
Intrinsic

A

Prerenal: >20:1
- vol depletion stimulated Na and H2O reabsortion, which also increases urea reabsorption

30
Q

(Hyper/hypo)calcemia associated with ESRD?

A

Hypocalcemia
- Kidney loses ability to reabsorb Ca
- Kidney is responsible for converting 25-hydroxycholecalciferol to 1,25-hydroxycalciferol
(which is responsible for absorbing Ca in the GI tract)

31
Q

Electrolyte abnormalities assoc w/ ESRD

A
  1. Hypocalcemia
  2. Hyperkalemia
  3. Hypermagnesemia
  4. Hyperphosphatemia

*Na is not specific to CKD

32

A

Doubling of creatinine in first day

33
Q

normal urine osm values

- what happens after fluid restriction?

A

300-900 mOsm/kg

Can be > 800

34
Q

When the body senses hypovolemia or hypotension, the ___ senses it and then there is significantly increased levels of ___ 20 minutes later by the actions of RAAS

A

Juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) of the glomeruli

Angiotensin II

35
Q

Describe the RAAS system (6 steps)

A
  1. Renal perfusion and [Na+] are sensed by the macula densa of the proximal tubules
  2. Macula densa cells are part of the JGA
  3. Renin is produced by the JGA
  4. Renin cleaves angiotensinogen to angiotensin I
  5. Angiotensin I is cleaved to Angiotensin II by ACE (in the lungs)
  6. Angiotensin II increases blood pressure by DIRECTLY causing arteriolar vasoconstriction throughout the body, ensuring adequate glomerular filtration
  7. Angiotensin II INDIRECTLY increases BP by stimulating the secretion of aldosterone from the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal glands
36
Q

Why do pts taking ACEi or ARBS the day of surgery present a hemodynamic problem?

A

Chronic blockade of the RAAS inhibits angiotensin response to acute hypotension as well as the vasoconstrictor response to norepinephrine
–> more pronounced and refractory hypotension, esp after induction

37
Q

Cardiac surgery have an AKI risk of __%, especially if CPB is used.

A

30%

38
Q

Transplant surgery have an AKI risk of __%

A

70%

39
Q

A

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL)

*Laser lithotripsy ok

40
Q

Recommended dermatomal spread of neuraxial anesthesia in lithotripsy procedures (think about renal innervation)

A

T6

- Renal innervation is derived from T10-L2

41
Q

(Perioneal/traditional hemodialysis) mode of dialysis is preferred in pts who cannot tolerate hemodynamic changes (ie. unstable angina, severe AS, poor HF)

A

Peritoneal dialysis
- placement of the catheter into peritoneal cavity -> dialysate is infused into abd and peritoneal membrane will allow solute transport out of blood stream

42
Q

Most pts needing emergent dialysis would be initiated on (Perioneal/traditional hemodialysis) mode of hemodialysis

A

traditional hemodialysis

43
Q

Increses bony turnover and mobilizes phosphorous from the bones themselves ->
Kidneys lose ability to excrete phosphorous ->
Hyperphosphatemia

50
