Kidney and diet and stuffs Flashcards
AKI characteristics (acronym)
WADE
Waste product buildup
Abnormal volume status
Decreased eGFR
Electrolyte imbalance
accelerated protein breakdown
AKI
must increase protein intake!
must increase protein intake
AKI
eGFR <60
Chronic kidney disease if this persists for 3+ months
eGFR is 98, what stage
stage 1 = >90
eGFR is 62, what stage
stage 2 = 60-90
eGFR is 54, what stage
stage 3a = 45-59
eGFR is 43, what stage
stage 3b = 30-44
eGFR is 28, what stage
stage 4 = 16-29
eGFR is 12, what stage
stage 5 = <15
CKD affects which metabolic pathway (acronym)
P - FEN
Protein homeostasis and metabolism (may need protein restriction)
Feedback mechanisms (thirst, taste and appetite)
Energy homeostasis (especially in dialysis pts, may develop cachexia)
Nutrient metabolism (Ca, Iron, B,C,D vitamins, zinc, selenium, manganese and may cause aluminum toxicity.)
What are possible “treatments” for AKI
- fluid replacement if hypovolemic
- electrolytes will fix themselves
- increase protein intake if AKI lasts longer than a few days (1.5-2.5 g/kg/day where normal is .8g/kg/day)
what are the structural or functional markers of kidney damage on:
Imaging
labs
imaging - polycystic kidneys, increased echogenicity, atrophy
labs - hematuria, proteinuria, abnormal “cast shedding” wtf is that idk
what are the feedback mechanisms that are altered in CKD
thirst, appetite, taste
what patients are more at risk for alteredenergy homeostasis in CKD? what might they develop?
hemodialysis patients
may develop cachexia
