L 29 CKD Flashcards
What is acute kidney injury?
An abrupt as a result of decrease in kidney function occurs over a period of 7 days or less.
What is the amount of patients admitted to ICU for kidney injury ?
50%
What is Chronic Kidney disease?
More than 90 days suffering with kidney abnormalities.
What are the risk factors for Acute and Chronic Kidney disease?
Age
Diabetes
Hypertension
Diabetes mellitus
What is the epidemiology of Kidney disease?
High BMI Diabetes Chronic Liver disease Nephrotoxic agents Poisoning
What are the pre gestational mother risk factors of AKI?
Poverty Low Education Underweight CKD Environment Covid 19
What is triple Whammy?
ACE=> Vasodilation result glomerular filtration
ARB=> cause vasodilation result glomerular filtration
NSAIDs=> arteriole vasoconstriction
Overall can increase the risk of AKI by 31 %
What are the Risk factors in childhood and young adult life?
Catch up growth
Diabetes
Nephrotoxic medication
Average renal blood flow
~1200-1500mL/min
Average GFR
~100mL/min
How to diagnose AKI?
Decrease urine volume
Increase in serum creatinine
How does AKI develop or pathogenesis?
Cause Endothelial monolayer injury as a result causes inflammation thus formation of microthrombi and cause an influx of inflammatory cells. Cause fluid overload and cause electrolyte imbalance.
What are the risk factors of CKD?
Diabetes Hypertension Obesity Chemicals like medications Environment Cancer
When a patient is 3 fold high for the risk of CKD?
If a patient is already suffering AKI then it has a 3 fold higher chance of CKD.
What is the Average urine output?
800-2mL/min
What is the CKD risk in NZ?
Age Female Ethnicity Diabetes Deprivation
What does RAAS stand for?
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system((RAAS) is a hormone system within the body that is essential for the regulation of blood pressure and fluid balance.)
Purpose of RAAS?
Homeostasis (Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a relatively stable internal state that persists despite changes in the world outside)
What happens when RAAS becomes impaired?
- Impaired K+ homeostasis
- Impaired Na+ and H2O homeostasis
- Hypertension
- Cardio-renal syndrome
Where is renin stored?
In juxtaglomerular cells of the afferent arteriole
Half life of renin
~15 minutes
What is renin?
A protease that converts angiotensin to angiotensin I
What are the 3 determinants of increased renin release?
- Decreased Na+ concentration in macula densa (of distal tubule)
- Decreased blood pressure or renal blood flow
- B2 receptor activation on juxtaglomerular cells by norepinephrine
What converts ATI to ATII?
ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme)
What does Angiotensin II cause and what does it produce?
Angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction.
Angiotensin II produces aldosterone.
What is the pathogenesis of CKD?
First nephrons generate utero which leads to atrophy which further get worse due to environmental and genetic factors as a result increase in nephron size and lose its barrier function and impaired filtration result in inflammation and scar formation result in damage of nephron.
What would be the systemic effect because of CKD?
Electrolyte imbalance Anaemia Mineral bone disorder Hypertension Dyslipidemia
What are the guidelines for diagnosis of CKD in NZ?
GFR
And to identify structural damage we have to do Ultrasound imaging and biopsy.
What stage of G3 and G4 and G5 for CKD?
Management of Blood pressure , Diabetes, cardiovascular risk. But in G5 kidney failure so no way to survive.
What are the effects of aldosterone?
Aldosterone increases Na+ and water reabsorption and promotes K+ excretion from the kidneys
(Na+ and water in, K+ out)
The RAAS system is a compensatory mechanism that aims to…
Aims to maintain plasma volume and cardiac output.
RAAS activators (renin release activators)
Low blood volume
Low blood pressure
Low Na+
B2 receptor activation
Examples of ACEI’s
Enalapril, lisinopril, quinapril, cilazapril, perindopril, captopril
Examples of Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs)
Losartan
Candesartan
Irbesartan
Valsartan
Most ACEI are … and most are
….
Most ACEI are prodrugs and most are renally cleared
Most ARBs are … and most have ……
Most ARBs are highly protein bound and most have low oral bioavailability
MoA of ACEI
ACEI inhibits angiotensin converting enzyme, therefore reducing the production of ATII, and reducing aldosterone secretion.
MoA of ARBs
Bind to and block angiotensin II receptors
Systemic effects of ACEI and ARBs
- Decrease systemic vascular resistance and therefore blood pressures
- Increase renal blood flow by dilating efferent and afferent arterioles.
