1
Q

Lab value for serum creatinine and what kind of test is it?
What is creatinine
How does it compare to BUN
What do different levels mean?

A

0.6-1.3mg/dl blood test
A waste product from mm and protein. It is not reabsorbed in the kidneys and is there for a reliable indicator of kidney function.
It is more accurate than BUN
Increase=inflammation or infection, kidney damage
Decrease=malnutrition

Q

BUN level and what type of test
What is BUN
What are the non renal factors that can increase it-7

A

10-20mg/dl Blood

Q

What is GFR normal value and what kind of test?
What does it say about kidney function?
How accurate is it?

A

> 90ml/min It is based on creatinine, age, sex, and race and it estimates the GFR.
If it is decreased then we have decreased kidney function
It is very accurate because it measures GFR and that is the best indicator of kidney function.

Q

Creatinine clearance normal value and what kind of test?
How does the test work?
What about accuracy?

A

24 hour urine test that compares serum creatinine to creatinine in urine. It approximates GFR most accurate indicator of kidney function but
It takes time

Q

Prerenal AKI
What is oliguria from?
What is happening in the kidney?
What do we treat?
What can it lead to?

A

Decreased volume of blood not damage to parenchyma
Because of low BP kidneys are trying to raise BP by saving NA+ and H2O RAAS
Fix cause and hydrate

Q

What defines oliguric stage value
When does it happen-3
How long does it last
Prognosis?

A

A reduction of urine output of less than 400ml a day. Usually happens within 1-7 days of injury but if ischemia is present than 24 hours. If from drugs it might be a week.
10-14 days up to months
Longer=poor prognosis

Q

Describe Oliguric phase in Intrarenral

A

Damage to the kidneys makes Na+ spill out so increase Na+ and fixed specific gravity. Urine will have WBC, RBC, casts and prot in urine if their is glom dysfunction.

Q

Describe diuretic phase of AKI
UOP
WHy?
One thing
How long
Two more things

A

UOP- 1-3 lt sometimes 5 or more. It is from osmotic diuresis from high urea concentration. Kidneys can excrete waste but cant concentrate it. Can last 1-3 weeks. BUN and creatine start to stabilize.

Q

Recovery phase of AKI
starts when?
What does recovery look like 4

A

Starts when GFR starts to increase and BUN and c start to decrease Major improvement in first 1-2 weeks. Full recovery can take 2 months.
Older adults less likely to recover, can progress to CKD

Q

Care for AKI 10

A

eliminate cause-drugs dose blockage
