Part 1 Drug Induced Kidney Disease Flashcards
Drug Induced Kidney Disease Diagnosis
Elevated SCr and BUN
DIKD Renal Insufficiency
Often reversible upon discontinuation but may lead to ESRD
DIKD + hospital admissions
20%
Drug induced AKI + hospital
60%
Drugs frequently involved
AG Radiocontrast media NSAIDs COX2 inhibitors Amp B ACEI
Nephrotoxicity evidenced
Early sign of renal tubular function without loss of GFR and as markers of proximal tubular injury
Outpaint Setting Nephrotoxicity
NSAIDs = most common and best defined
NSAIDs
Prescribed and OTX therapy has be associated with a 4-fold increased risk of acute RF
NSAID RF
Male greater than 65 HD drugs CVD Recent hospitalization for non-renal In combo with nephrotoxic drugs
NSAIDs + >70 y.o.
2 fold increased risk for hospitalization
Hemodynamically mediated Acute renal failure
Due to NSAIDs and ACEi RF: Preexisting insufficiency Decreased RBF due to volume depletion HF Liver disease
Glomerular Filtration
Monitor SCr and BUN
Measure urine output (esp with radiographic contrast media, NSAIDs and ACEi)
Outpatient setting, nephrotoxicity is recognized with
Uremia (malaise, anorexia and vomiting) or volume overload (edema)
What may quantify the loss of glomerular filtration?
SCr or BUN + urine collection
Renal Tubular function can be altered without
Loss of glomerular filtration
General indicators of proximal tubular injury are
Metabolic acidosis with bicarbonatura
Glycosuria without hyperglycemia
Hypophosphatemia and hypouricemia due to increased urine loss
