post renal
pre-renal causes AKI
inadequate blood supply: dehydrattion, hypotension/shock, HF
renal causes AKI
glomerulonephritis
interstitial nephritis
acute tubular necrosis
post renal causes AKI

ix CKD
eGFR
urime albumin:creatinine ration (ACR)
urine dipstick=haematuria
renal USS
stages CKD
G1: eGFR >90
G2: eGFR 60-89
G3a: eGFR 45-59
G3b: eGFR 30-44
G4: 15-29
G5: eGFR <15=ESRF
A score (ACR): A1=<3mg/mmol, A2=3-30, A3= >30
when is CKD diagnosed
eGFR </= 60 or proteinuria
ESRF
eGFR <15
AKI stages
1= creatinine increase >/= 1.5 x baseline or urine output <0.5mg/kg/hr for over 6h
2= creatinine increase >/= 2 x baseline or urine output <0.5mg/kg/hr for >/= 12h
3= creatinine increase >/= 3 x baseline or urine output <0.3mg/kg/hr for >/= 24h or anuria 12h
complications CKD
