1
Q

acute renal failure

A
  • inc BUN and Creat over hrs to days
  • hours:rhabdo, contrast induced RF; constricts aferent art and its toxic to renal tubules
  • aminoglycoside(5-10days), post strep(1-2wks)

Q
  • azotemia vs uremia

- why bleeding diathesis in uremia

A
  • azotemia: renal insuff; buildup of azoles; NO DIALYSIS
  • uremia: very severe RF; need dialysis;worse; acidosis, mental status changes, highK, fluid overload, anemia, hypoCa, pericarditis;bleeding diathesis (bc platelets dont degran so alpha and dense granules dont work, tx with DDAVP releases platelet factors temporarily); uremia prevents degran of WBC so infxns

Q

aminoglycoside toxicity

A
  • in weeks
  • space intervals to dec chances of toxicity not dec dose
  • need to accumulate toxicity over days
  • one dose wont cause RF
  • peak kills organism; trough = toxicity thats why you space intervals otherwise you get ototoxicity

Q

pre/post/intra renal

A
  • pre=dec perfusion; decBP, RA stenosis, dec volume, dec albumin
  • post= dec drainage or dec fwd flow; GFR most det by hydrostatic pressure of glomerular cap pushing into glom space; dec GFR is hydrostatic press of bowmans spce inc instead (stone in bladder or both ureters, strictures, tumors, obstrxn)
  • in prev both, kidney is normal; can transplant it and it will have normal fxn
  • intra=tubular or glomerular prob and kidney itself is defective

Q

ARF dx

A
  • BUN high in all forms of renal failure
  • can be falsely high with inc protein load in diet or GI bleed
  • BUN falsely low with malnut, liver dis, or SIADH
  • Creatinie is main measure of renal fxn; closest to gfr; inulin not naturally in body; slightly overest GFR bc some tubular secrxn of creat; creat is met prod of skeletal muscle; creat can be false low from dec muscle mass so adjust creat clearance for weight; creat inc .5-1pt/day even if pt anuric; .5–>1.5–>2 kidney dead

Q

prerenal azotemia

A
  • due to hypovolemia, hypotension (shocks), third spacing(addisons low aldo, peritonits, osmotic diuresis), low albumin nephrotic syn leads to dec renal perf
  • chf, constrictive pericarditis, coarc of aorta: have edema and fluid overload but no perfusion of kidney so inc bun and creat
  • BUN:cr = 20:1; low flow so theres inc time for urea to be absorbed but creat same amt excreted
  • urine Na low (500 bc UNa low and concentrated urine; spec gravity inc shows Uosm inc

Q

postrenal azotemia

A
  • dec outflow of urine with bl obstrxn; stone in bladder obstructs both kidneys
  • bladder ca, prostate hyper, bl ureteral dis(retroperitoneal fibrosis), neurogenic bladder (DM, MS); bl strictures
  • Cr rises only when lost at least 70-80% of renal fxn
  • initially 20:1 like prerenal then as permanent damage occurs it will lower to 10:1 such as in ATN
  • early discovery imp; complete recovery possible until 10-14days of obstrxn
  • ATN is mcc in hosp pts
  • DX: distended bladder, bl hydronephrosis on renal sono or CT, or finding large vol of urine after passing foley
  • after voiding there should be no more than 50mL of urine left in bladder

Q

acute tubular necrosis

A
  • allergic, toxin, pigments (myoglobin, HB), crystals, calcium
  • from hypoperfusion of kidney leading to such severe ischemia theres cell death ot from toxic inj to kidney like aminoglycosdie or amphotericin. this is from sepsis or after cardiac or aortic sx
  • from combo of both ischemia and toxic inj; if ischemia is severe then tubular cells necrose and slough off into urine and become granular, muddy brown or pigmented casts
  • longer duration of hypotension/hypoperfusion, the greater chance of ATNl; risk inc with toxic inj; ex risk of rhabdo causing renal failure is inc when theres hypoperf of kidney

Q

rhabdo lab tests

A
  • most imp is EKG or K level with severe crush inj or seizure bc acidosis and highK can cause arrhythmia; if peaked T waves give calcium gluconate or Ca choride
  • best initial test is UA: dipstick positive for blood but no RBCs seenbc hb/MB reacts with an agent on stick and comes out as if RBCs present
  • confirmed with high serum CPK enormously high 10,000-100,000. n<500
  • met acidosis with dec serum bicarb, high phosphate from musc breakdown, low Ca from deposits of ca in damaged muscles
  • very rapid rise of creatinine
  • tx: hydration and mannitol as diuretic to dec duration of contact; alkalinize urine with bicarb may help stop precip of pigment in tubule
  • inc K but no ekg changes: insulin/glucose, or bicarbonate

  • post transplant renal graft rejection prevented by cyclosporine, tacrolimus, adn mycophenolate (all inh T cell fxn)
66
Q

fluid and electrolytes hypoNa

A
  • hyponatremia: low Na <135 from inc water retention or urinary sodium loss
  • serum osm= 2xNa + (BUN/2.8) + gluc/18 = 2xNa +10
  • neurologic sym; sym depends on how fast the levels dropped
  • an acute drop in Na 15-20pts can be seizure or coma
  • tx: fluid restriction (mild hypoNa with no sym); moderate (normal saline + loop); severe w/seqizures (3%hypertonic saline
  • rate of rise imp to stop central pontine demyelinosis (rate no more than 0.5-1 mEq per hour) no more than 12 pt rise in 12-24hrs; can be corrected as rapidly as 2mEq/hr if pt seizing and its urgent
  • fludrocortisone used for cerebral salt wasting disease
67
Q

hyponatremia classification

A
  • hypervolemic: CHF, cirrhosis, nephrotic
  • eubvolemic: low Na, low osm
  • hypovolemic
68
Q

pseudohypoNa

A
  • total body Na level normal and sodium blood level artificially low
  • hyperglycemia: Na dec 1.6 for every 100mg/dL inc in glucose above normal; high gluc causes water to shift out of cells without Na which drops Na level; mannitol adn sorbitol do the same
  • hyperlipidemia: lab error
  • inc 100glu=dec 1.6Na
69
Q

hypervolemic states (inc ECF)

A
  • dec in intravasc volume causing inc in ADH secretion from post pit : CHF, nephrotic and low albumin, cirrhosis, renal insuff
  • perception of intravasc vol dec = ADH inc
70
Q

hypovolemic states=dec ecf

A

-loss of na thru body fluids and replaced with free water ex sweating, GI n/v, skin burns cystic fibrosis, diuretics, renal sodium los, addisons, acei

71
Q

causes of hypovolemic low Na

urine Na <10

A
  • dehydration
  • vomiting
  • diarrhea
  • sweating
72
Q

causes of hypovol low Na

urine Na >10

A
  • diuretics inc Na/Cl reabs
  • acei
  • renal salt wasting
  • addisons
  • cerebral sodium wasting
73
Q

euvolemic states

A

-not dehydrated or vol overload, no edema, no orthostasis, no skin turgor
-psychogenic polydipsia
-hypothyroid
-diuretics
-acei
0endurance exercise
-SIADH
-PSEUOD PSYCHO SIADH

74
Q

28M ho bipolar on lithium, drinks 18L/day, urinates 18L/day, Na normal 140

A 
-Na low = psychogenic
Nahigh: nephrogenic DI
-Na normal you cant tell Uosm low in bioth, Una low in both
-nocuria = neph DI
-no nocturia in psychogenic
75
Q

SIADH

A
  • Causes: brain lung drugs and Ca
  • UNa high, Uosm high = dx
  • single most acc test: inc ADH level
  • tx fluid restrxn for mild and give hypertonic saline for severe
  • chronic where cause cant be corrected: demeclocycline or lithium ; inh effect of adh on kidney tubule adn lead to water diuresis by inducing neph DI
76
Q

hyperNa

A
  • skin, urine, Gi loss and DI
  • Dx: CDI vs NDI: watching for dec in urine vol after ADH admin
  • tx: acute give isotonic fluids IV; CDI five vasopressin (can be all routes except nasal); NDI ( diuretics or nsaids inh prostaglandind which impair concentrating ability and inc axn of adh at the kidney)
  • dec K and inc Ca cause it bc kidney deosnt concentrate
77
Q

hypoK

A
  • causes: GI, inc entry into cells with alkalosis (K in H out), inc insulin, b act (inc axn of Na/K/Atpase Na out K in so bb inc K, digoxin blocks Na/K/ATPase so inc K), b12 replaced in b12 def ppl(rapid prodxn of cells causes dec K), trauma pts have inc b act, uine losses (diuretics, conn, licorice, barter lose Na/k liek lasix, cushings inc aldosterone, Mg dep K channels = dec Mg then huge urine loss of K)
  • sym: weakness, arrhythmias, rhabdo; k nec for ADH effect on kidney and hypoK pts present with neph DI
  • dec K = Uwaves = purkinje fiber repol
  • inc K = peaked T waves
  • Dx = ekg
  • tx: IV max 10-20mEq/h bc more causes arrhythmia, dont use dextrose bc stim insulin which lowers K adn shifts K into cells; oral no max for oral erplacement but kidney excretes faster than gut absorbs it; total body req is give 4-5mEq per kg per pt
78
Q

hyperK

A
  • inc intake orally or IV with impaired exretions, movement from cells to ECF(acidosis, psuedohyperk, .1decpH = inc 0.7K, insulin def, tissue breakdown, periodic paralysis waxing adn waning with inc or dec K), dec urine excretion renal failure, hypoald, addisons, K sparing, nsaids)
  • weakness with K at >6.5, abn cardiac condxn is mcc death, hypoventilation
  • tx: calcium chloride/gluconate protect heart not dec K levels, membrane stabilization; sodium bicarb alkalosis drives K into cells but dont give in same IV line as Ca bc forms CaCO3; glucose and insulin drives K in takes 30-60 min to work; diuretics and beta agonists take long tho; kayexelate (cation exchange resin) absorbs 1Meq K per g and releases 1Meq Na. given with sorbitol to prevent constipation, only causes redist not removes from body; dialysis
79
Q

renal tubular acidosis

A
  • Distal (type 1): cause (SCD, autoimm, familial, ch hepatits), BASIC urine ph >5.4, secondary hyperald and hypoK, nephrocalcinosis and nephrolithiasis, BASIC URINE=STONES; dx (acid load test give ammonium Cl which should lower ph but pH remainds high; pts get hypok bc kidney cant excrete H so secretes K instead; tx oral bicarb bc bicarcb reabs in proximal tubule still works and K replacement
  • proximal: cause (fanconi, wilsons, amyloid, myeloma, acetazolamide, vit d def, secondary hyperparath etc),unable to absorb bicarb, inital pH basic then turns acidic when body loses enough bicarb, lowK, serum bicar 18-20; malabs glu phosphate urate aa; BONE LESIONS (OSTEOMALACIA AND RICKETS); DX pt unable to absorb bicarb loading and have basic urine in presence of acidemia; normal ppl dont excrete bicarb until serum bicarb >24; tx give K, mild volume depletion will enhance prox bicar reabsoprtion; thiazides and large amts bicarb used; DIURETICS TO DEC VOL OF BODY
  • type IV hyporeninemic/hypoaldosteronism: cause (aldosterone def or adrenal insens to angio II which normally stim aldosterone, dm, addisons, scd, renal insuff), HIGH K, hyperchloremic met acidosis(nonAG), Dx high urineNa with oral salt restrxn; tx fludrocortisone(high mineralocorticoid effect and simmilar to aldosterone)
80
Q

Alkalosis

A

$ metabolic: 1pt increase bicarbonate there’s .7 inc in pCO2; volume contraxn leads to inc aldosterone which excretes H so there’s met alkalosis
- H ion loss: steroids (acts like Aldo), Gi loss vomiting NG tube, renal loss(cons cushings, ACTH inc, licorice, barters), dec chloride intake causing bicarb absorbed more bc Cl is anion and bicarb is anion so it inc bicarb to compensate , diuretics
-bicarb retention: bicarb admin, contraxn alkalosis, milk alkali syndrome
- H moves into cell: hypokalemia
$ respiratory
- hyperventilation: dec pCo2: anemia, PE, sarcoidosis, anxiety, pain; progesterone stim brainstem to breathe, catecholamines, hypoxia, cirrhosis, preg all inc RR

81
Q

renal tub acidosis summary

A

I distal = cant excrete H; urine basic, dx give acid; tx give bicarb, low K, STONES
II = proximal = low K, unable to absorb bicarb, urine acidic, no stone, dx (give bicarb, urine bicarb bc cant absorb it, acid blood makes bones weak and demin them), tx diuretic
IV: HIGH K, dm dec aldo dec renin, normal AG met acidosis
-I, II, IV all have normal AG met acidosis bc all have inc Cl
- 2 normal AG met acidosis = RTA and diarrhea; dsitinguish these bc with H out of kidney forms NH4Cl so Cl level measure it in the urine for AG; Diarrhea met acid intact to excrete acid so Cl incin urine and urine AGneg; RTA kid cant excrete h and Cl so AG positive ;

82
Q

Anion gap

A

(Na- k) - (hco3-Cl)

Normal is 8-14

83
Q

Acidosis

A

$metabolic
- low anion gap: myeloma, low albumin level, lithium
- albumin are negative charge ; for every 1pt dec albumin there’s 2pt dec in AG bc the cations inc
- myeloma dec AG bc it’s cations so anions inc to compensate
$respiratory
- hypo ventilation of any cause: copd, pickwickian, obesity, suffocation, opiates, sleep apneakyphoscoliosis, myopathies etc

84
Q

Increased anions gap

A

  • idiopathic renal hypercalciuria, resorptive from hyperpara and mult myeloma, met dis to bone, hyperCa of malignancy
  • hyperoxaluria: with fat malabs, fat binds to calcoium so oxalate reabs in greater amounts
  • hypocitrate: citrate binds calcium and prevents ca reabs but low citrate leads to inc in calcium absorption, hypocitrate from any acidotic state
  • MVA male needs blood fast, citrate bound up Ca and caused a seizure
  • Urate: formes in acidic and with gout, heme malig, crohns
  • infxn: forms highly alkaline environment and makes struvite stones
  • Dx: xray, US, strain urine, check serum and urine ca, IV pyelogram always wrong, helical spiral CT no contrast needed for stones (contrast used for masses, absecesses and tumors)
  • office stable pt: sono
  • ED: xray first choice, spiral CT best test

A
  • ACTH hypersecretion by a pituitary adenoma
    -presentation: htn, truncal obesity, buffalo hump, menstrual abn, striae, impaired healing from pit releasing acth –> inc cortisol –> inc vasc reactivity to NE and epi
    DX: dexamethasone suppression test and e24 hour urine cortisol are best initial tests; not CT first bc alot of ppl have deformities on pit but the prob is in the adrenal actually
    tx: sx resection best when possible
  • in endo, should start with hormone test whenever possible
    -cushings ecchymosis (impaired formation of collagen in skin)
    -screening: 11pm 1mg dexamethasone suppression test; if neg excludes the dis, if pos then have disease but dk etiology
    -etiology: high acth levels (pit prob), low acth levels (adrenal or ectopic production)
