Proteinuria, Oliguria and Polyuria Flashcards
Anuria
UOP <50-100 ml/day
Oliguria
UOP <400-500 ml/day
Polyuria
UOP >3000 ml/day
Azotemia
Elevated BUN without symptoms
Uremia
Elevated BUN w/ symptoms such as:
- N/V
- Confusion
- Pruritus
- Metallic Taste
- Fatigue
- Anorexia
CKD Criteria
- Markers of Kidney damage: Albuminuria, increased urine sediment, electrolyte/Renal Tubular disorder, kidney transplant
- Decreased GFR <60 ml/min/1.73m^2
Either or both for minimum 3 months
How would you distinguish CKD from AKI?
Time of symptoms:
<3 months= AKI
>3months= CKD
Briefly describe the stages of CKD
1-5: 1 is mild with >90 GFR; 5 is ESRD with <15 GFR
If GFR is between 60-90 (stage 1-2) but no symptoms, it’s not CKD
Top 4 RF for CKD
- DM
- HTN
- CVD
- AKI
Notable: NSAID use, Age>65, AA population
Clinical presentation of CKD
Edema HTN Oliguria/Anuria Proteinuria Uremia Asterixis Uremic Frost
3 tests to identify CKD
- eGFR
- Urine Albumin:Creatinine Ratio or PRO:Creatinine Ratio
- Urinalysis
What U/S findings are indicative of CKD?
Atrophic/small kidneys (normal= fist)
Cortical thinning (normal= >1cm)
Increased echogenicity
Elevated resistive index (renal artery stenosis)
Indications for dialysis
AEIOU: Acidosis Electrolyte disturbance Ingestion of toxins (GOLDMARK and ME DIE) Overload volume Uremia
2 tests to determine AKI
Serum Creatinine- increased
Urine Output- decreased
do not need to memorize stages, but know that Serum creatinine 1.5-1.9x starts and/or UO <0.5ml/kg/h starts stage 1
Common causes of prerenal AKI
Hypotension
Hypovolemia
Reduced CO (HF)
Systemic vasodilation (sepsis)
