renal Flashcards
what is stage 1 AKI
creatinine 1.5x of baseline and urine output is less than 0.5ml/kg in 6 hours
what is stage 2 AKI
creatinine 2x of baseline and urine output is less than 0.5ml/kg in 12 hours
what is stage 3 AKI
creatinine 3x of baseline and urine output is less than 0.5ml/kg in 24 hours
What are the pre-renal causes of AKI
shock: distributive, cardiogenic, hypovolaemic and renal artery stenosis
What are the renal causes of AKI
acute glomerulonephritis, interstitial nephritis
Post-renal causes of AKI
mural: tumours, luminal: stones and compression: BPH
Fractional excretion is normal
pre-renal cause of AKI
fractional excretion is elevated
renal cause of AKI
treatment for post renal AKI
catheterise
first line management for AKI
sit patient up and give furosemide and diamorphine
ECG findings for hypokalaemia
QT prolongation, PR prolongation, t wave inversion and st depression
ECG findings for hyperkalaemia
PR prolongation, small p waves and tall tented t waves, wide QRS complexes
which electrolyte abnormality can be caused by deep hypothermia
hypokalaemia
hypovolaemic, hyponatraemic and abnormal renal function tests
diarrhoea
pt in shock, hypernatraemic and needed ABCDE. resp compromise what is the maintenance
IV crystalloid bolus, if not enough give 2000ml of fluid resus
pt is shock, hypernatraemic but did not need ABCDE what is the maintenance
IV maintenance fluids
high potassium, with fist pumping, delayed analysis or excessive tourniquet use
pseudohyperkalaemia
treatment for hypokalaemia severe
IV potassium chloride and treat low magnesium and low glucose
treatment for hypokalaemia mild
oral release potassium
treatment for hyperkalaemia
10% calcium gluconate solution, 10ml over 10mins, insulin, salbutamol and glucose
Can you give potassium as a bolus dose
no it can cause arrythmias
patient presents with:
osteopenia, cardiovascular defects, oedema, electrolyte abnormalities, anaemia, leg restlessness and sensory neuropathy
chronic end stage kidney disease
patient with chronic kidney disease presents with egfr of 25
stage 4
patient with chronic kidney disease presents with egfr of 45
stage 3a
patient with chronic kidney disease presents with egfr of 69
stage 2
patient with chronic kidney disease presents with egfr of 78
stage 2
treatment for chronic kidney disease: oedema
fluid and salt restrict and furosemide
treatment for chronic kidney disease: hypocalcaemia
alphacalciferol
treatment for chronic kidney disease: hyperphosphatemia
selvemer
treatment for chronic kidney disease: anaemia
monthly subcutaneous erythropoetin injections
constant abdominal pain, early satiety and hepatomegaly
autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
abdominal mass, flank pain and painless haematuria in a 3 year old
wilm’s nephroblastoma
investigation if there is no obvious cause of AKI
renal ultrasound
first line treatment with CKD in a patient is polycystic kidney disease
tolvaptan: vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist
