Q

How soon can acute graph rejection occur and what would indicate this in tests?

A

Within 6 months

Rising creatinine, pyuria, proteinuria

30
Q

Initial management of acute graph rejection?

A

Steroid dose increase

31
Q

Investigation for ant ptnt presenting with AKI of unknow cause?

A

Renal tract US within 24 hours

32
Q

Treatment for a patient with K+ => 6.5 mmol/L OR ECG changes of hyperkalaemia?

A

-IV Calcium Gluconate
-Insulin/dextrose infusion

33
Q

SEs of erythrpoietin?

A

Bone aches
Flu-like symptoms
Skin rashes

34
Q

What is type 1 resp failure?

A

Hypoxia without hypercapnia

35
Q

Mechanism of calcium gluconate on K+ levels?

A

Nothingggggg

Only stabilises the myocardium

36
Q

Heart manifestation of ADPKD?

A

Mitral valve prolapse

37
Q

Prolonged diarrhoea acid base results?

A

Metabolic acidosis + hypokalaemia

38
Q

Potassium requirement per day is how much?

A

1 mmol/kg/day

39
Q

Risk if large volumes of 0.9% saline solution are administered?

A

Hypercholoraemic metabolic acidosis

40
Q

Max rate of K+ infusion via peripheral line ?

A

10 mmol/hour

41
Q

Will an isolated respiratory alkalosis affect the base excess?

A

NO

42
Q

If a patient has respiratory alkalosis + low bicarb + negative base excess….what do you think it is?

A

Predominant respiratory alkalosis + underlying metabolic acidosis

-Can be caused by aspirin overdose (salicylic acid derivative)

43
Q

ABG of patient with sepsis?

A

Metabolic acidosis with raised anion gap

-Often have raised serum lactate due to hypoperfusion of peripheries

(anion gap = difference between plasma cations (Na+ & K+) and anions (Cl- & HCO3-)

44
Q

Normal range of anion gap?

A

10-18mmol/L

45
Q

What does it suggest if anion gap is raised, give examples?

A

Increased production, or reduced excretion, of fixed/organic acids.

Lactic acid (sepsis, ischaemia)
Urate (renal failure)
Ketones (DKA)
Drugs/toxins (salicylates, methanol, ethylene glycol)

46
Q

Medication for hyperphosphataemia in patients with CKD MBD?

A

Sevalamer

47
Q

Mechanism of diabetes insipidus in patient’s taking Lithium?

A

Lithium desensitizes the kidney’s ability to respond to ADH in CDs

48
Q

in CAPD related peritonitis what is the most common causative organism?

A

Staphylococci
Staph epidermidis

49
Q

Normal anion gap?

A

8-14 mmol/L

50
Q

Causes of normal anion gap or hyperchloraemic metabolic acidosis?

A

GI Bicarb loss: diarrhoea, ureterosigmoidostomy

Renal Tubular Acidosis

Drugs: acetazolamide

Ammonium chloride injection

Addison’s disease

51
Q

Causes of raised anion gap metabolic acidosis?

A

Lactate: shock, hypoxia
Ketones: DKA
Urate: Renal failure
Acid poisoning: salicylates, methanol

52
Q

Which kidney problem has enlarged kidneys?

A

Diabetic nephropathy

Anaemia
Thrombocytopenia

Can’t pee
Can’t see
Can’t hear thee

Pixorize: Airplane, foggy can’t see to land in the alPort. Planes funny, one day you’re in college (collagen) and then you’re out the door (four) flying across the world (collagen IV defect)

Dominant X shaped aircraft also trying to land….X-linked dominant inheritance

Defective BM, downstream effect on eyes, ears and kidney

Basket weave appearance: basket for picnic when you’re nervous eating in plane landing

56
Q

Big risk following renal transplants?

A

Squamous cell carcinomas

57
Q

Initial management of CKD-MBD?

A

Dietary changes&raquo_space;> then phosphate binders

58
Q

What type of renal syndrome can be an effect of taking lithium?

A

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

59
Q

What type of diuretic is spiranolactone?

A

Aldoseterone antagonist

60
Q

Non-compensated respiratory acidosis is what?

A

Type 2 respiratory failure

61
Q

Criteria for AKI?

A

-Increased creatinine >26 umol/L in 48 hours
-Increased creatinine >50% in 7 days
-Decreased urine output <0.5 ml/kg for more than 6 hours

62
Q

2 episodes of painless frank haematuria?

A

Cystoscopy/urgent referral on cancer pathway if older age and presentation

63
Q

Maintenance fluids rule?

A

20-30ml/kg/day

64
Q

Patient with non visible haematuria, where do you refer them to?

A

<40 years old: nephrology
>40 years old: Urology

65
Q

What can invalidate an eGFR test?

A

Eating red meat the night before (creatinine in the meat)
Amputation
Pregnancy
Muscle mass: body builders

66
