Q

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI):

A
  • occurs when sudden decrease in
    GFR
  • GFR maintained by sufficient blood
    flow to the kidneys and nephron
  • usually reversible
  • GFR dependent on a pressure
    gradient between the incoming
    blood at the afferent capillaries and
    pressure in the Bowman’s space: net
    filtration pressure

AKI: Pre-Renal Disease:

A
  • hypoperfusion: reduced perfusion
    to the kidneys in afferent arteriole
  • occurs whether a patient has
    hypovolaemia, euvolaemia,
    hypervolaemia

5 causes of pre-renal injury:

A
  • intravascular volume depletion:
    absolute hypovolaemia (most
    common)
  • decreased cardiac output
  • renal vasoconstriction
  • renovascular diseases (anatomical)
  • drugs that impair autoregulation
    and GFR in specific setting by
    affecting vascular tone of afferent
    and efferent arterioles

Q

Causes of Pre-Renal Injury: Renal Vasoconstriction (4):

A

    when BP drops, too much NA causes
    contraction)

    narrowing blood vessels, rupture
    results in thrombosis and narrowing
    of renal arteries.

Q

ACE Inhibitor Therapy Worsening Renal Function:

A

insert
efferent arteriole constricted to maintain pressure for GFR
ACE inhibitor dilates efferent arteriole, reducing intravascular pressure, reduces GFR.

NSAIDs:
constriction of afferent arteriole and therefore reduce GFR

Long term ACE inhibitor protects the small blood vessels from high blood pressure or high intra-glomerular pressure from glomerular sclerosis = renoprotective

only stop in acute situations

Acute Kidney Injury: Renal:

A
  • develops when there is a disruption
    to the anatomy or function of the
    nephron
  • can occur independently or as a
    consequence of pre-renal AKI
  • defined by the area of nephron
    disruption

Q

Acute Kidney Injury: Post-Renal:

A
  • following acute obstruction of
    urinary flow
  • increased intra-tubular pressure
    and reduction in GFR
  • acute urinary tract obstruction leads
    to impaired renal blood flow and
    inflammatory processes
    contributing to diminished GFR
