Q

Decreased GFR Mehcanisms in Oliguric / anuric (Maintainence) Phase

A

◈ Toxins + Ischemia → Necrosis & Sloughing of tubular epithelial cells into tubular lumen → obstruction of tubules → Increased intraluminal pressure.

â—ˆ Back-leak of tubular fluid to renal interstitium.

◈ Excess renin activation → Afferent vasoconstriction.

Q

Complications of Oliguric / anuric (Maintainence) Phase

A

① Fluid retention → Dilutional hyponatremia.

② Electrolyte retention → Hyperkalemia & Hyperphosphatemia.

â‘¢ Ca++: Decreased (May still normal).

â‘£ Increases S. Creatinine, Urea & H+ (Metabolic acidosis).
