Q

What suggest prerenal AKI (PA)

A
  • volume depletion (dry mucus, tachycardia, decreased BP)
24
Q

What suggest renal vein thrombosis AKI (PA)

A

Enlarged palpable kidney

25
Q

What suggest puretheral obstruction in AKI (PA)

A

Enlarged bladder.

26
Q

What is the role of kideny biopsy in AKI?

A

When diagnosis is not made clear and to guide treatment in acute glomerulonephritis

27
Q

Differentiate between AKI and ATN:

“Prerenal AKI, and Internsic AKI”

A

Prerenal: high specific gravity - >40 creatinine - <20 Na - <1% FENa - <35% FEUrea
(High SG, Creatinine - Low Na\urea)

Internsic: low specific gravity - <20 creatinine - >40 Na - >2% - >50%

28
Q

What is the general management approach for AKI?

A

1- specific tx for underlying
2- Fluid, electrolyte, Nutritional
3- drug dosing
4- renal replacement therapy

29
Q

Summarize fluid management of acute kidney injury

A
  • Hypovoluemic: NS bolus
  • Euvolemic: “ongoing insensible fluid loss” balanced w\ adminsterd fluids
  • Hypervolumic: fluid removal by furosamide
30
Q

What should you stop patient with olgourea\aneuria from taking

A

Potassium

Phosphorus

31
Q

What should you advice about sodium ingestion in AKI?

A

Restrict sodium intake to prevent fluid retention > HTN

32
Q

Whar is the most common\severe complication of AKI?

A

Hyperkalemia “cardiac arrythmia”

33
Q

How to treat metabolic acidosis in AKI?

A

Sodium bicarb (debatable)

34
Q

What should be the caloric intake in AKI?

A

It should increase to counterpart the catabolic needs of a patient
“120 kcal\Kg in infant - 150% of the maintance need in older children”

35
Q

What are the indication for renal replacement therapy?

A
  • uremia
  • hyperkalemia unresponsive
  • fluid overload unresponsive
36
Q

What is the prognosis of AKI

A

Increased mortality

In mod-severe, follow up to detect signs of CKD

37
Q

What is the CKD?

A

Structural\functional kidney damage presist over 3months

38
Q

What is the functional kidney damage?

A
  • decrease GFR
  • increased Proteinurea
  • both
39
Q

Define chronic kidney injury according to KDIGO

A
  • GFR<60 w\out CKD markers for 3 months

- GFR >60 w\structural - CKD markers (proteinurea, albuminurea, tubular disorders)

40
Q

What are the stages of chronic kidney disease according to the KDIGO?

A
  • G1: >90
  • G2: 60- 89
  • G3a: 45 - 59
  • G3b: 30 - 44
  • G4: 15 - 29
  • G5: <15
41
Q

Name the most common etiologies of CKD

A
  • conginital anomaly of the kidney (hypoplasia or dysplasia)
  • conginital anomaly of urinary tract (obstructive uropathy)
42
Q

What is the second largest cause of childhood CKD?

A

Glomerular disorders

“>12 years of age”

43
Q

How do children with non-glomerular disease usually present?

A
  • asymptoamtic
  • polyuria
  • poor growth
44
Q

What is the best way to diagnose children with non-glomerular CKD?

A

Imaging

And investigations for creatinine

45
Q

How does paatient with glomerular disease CKD usually present?

A

More prominant signs and symptoms

46
Q

How to detect CKD in early stages?

A

Usually they are asymptomatic

  • elevated serum creatinine
  • prenatal ultrasound for kidney disease.
47
Q

In which stage of CKD do we commonly see poor growth?

A

Stage 3 CKD

48
Q

In which stage do we commonly see uremia, weakness, fatigue, anorexia or vomitting

A

Stage 4 and 5

49
Q

What to obtain from the history of CKD

A
  • seizure
  • anemia
  • recurrent UTI
  • high BP
  • polyruia\polydipsia
  • poor growth
  • family hx of HTN\renal
  • orthopedic\urologic abnormalities
  • conginital anomaly of kidney
50
Q

What physical xamination to do in CKD

A

1- growth parameters (H, W, head circumference) + BP

2- Hyper-volemia (edema - rales - hepatic - cardiac gallop)

3- auscultation: pericardial rub (pericarditis) - diminished heart sound (pericardial effusion)

4- pallor in anemia

51
Q

What imaging can be used for evaluating CKD?

A
  • US: initial when suspecting CKD
  • VCUG: for [vesicouretric reflux]
    hydronephrosis - posterior uretheral valve
  • renal scan: focal abnormalities - obstruction
  • other CT & MRI
52
Q

What are the lab investigations for CKD?

A
  • serum creatinine
  • Serum bicarbonate
  • CBC
  • URinalysis
  • protein\creatinie ratio in urine

Additional

  • Calcium
  • phosphorus
  • 25 hydroxyvitamin D
  • PTH
53
Q

In obstructive uropathy and dysplastic kidney, what happens to salt excretion?

A

Increased leading to hypovoluemia

54
Q

How to trat ckd when theres anemia

Iron and if severe give erythrropoetin (till gb 11)
