Renal Flashcards
What are the most common manifestation of drug induced kidney disease? (3)
- reduced GFR (most important)
- serum creatinine
- increased BUN
Which parts are damaged in the intrinsic AKI?
Glomerulus and tubular regions
Which part of the kidney is damaged in the post renal impairment?
obstruction of urine flow in bladder, ureter, collecting tubules and urethra
Which part of the kidney is damaged in prerenal AKI?
vasodilaton of afferent arteriole
What are the parameters to access for suspected drug induced kidney disease?
- abrupt (48 hrs) reduction in kidney function, noted by an increase of serum creatinine greater than 0.3 mg/dL
- % increase of serum creatinine by 50% within 7 days
- reduced urine output (0.5 mg/kg/h for more than 6 hrs after initiation of drug)
Causes for prerenal AKI?
Hypoperfusion….
- Hypotension
- decreased cardiac output
- decreased arterial blood volume
Post renal cause?
obstructed urine flow
Intrinsic AKI categories? (3)
Acute glomerular nephritis
Acute interstitial nephritis
Acute tubular necrosis
What is the most common cause of DIKD in hospitalized patients?
ATN
Name two pharmacokinetic alterations? (2)
edema -affects volume distribution
multisystem organ failure-reduced liver function
What is the most common electrolyte disorder?
hyperkalemia
Name 4 drugs that cause ATN?
Aminoglycosides
Radiographic contrast media
Amphotericin B
Cyclosporine
Causes of osmotic nephrosis (3)?
Mannitol
Dextran
IV immunoglobulin
What is Aminoglycoside pathogenesis?
- causes ATN
- high concentrations of drug= cationic groups=reactive oxygen species =nephrotic necrosis
What is clinical presentation of ATN with aminoglycoside toxicity?
- nonoliguria >500mL per day
- occurs 5 to 7 days after starting therapy
- gradual progressive rise serum creatinine and BUN and decrease in Cr Cl
T/ F Full recovery of renal function achieved with immediate discontinuation of AG?
TRUE
Name the 4 aminoglycosides from most to least toxic?
Neomycin>Gentamicin>Tobramycin>Amikacin
Risk factors for AG nephrotoxicity?
- Aggressive AG dosing
- synergistic effect with other toxins
- CKD, DM, dehydration, and increased age
How do you prevent AG toxicity? (3)
- limit dosing
- avoid volume depletion!
- fluoroquinolones or 3rd gen cephalosporins
How do you manage AG toxicity?(3)
- hydration
- stop all nephrotoxic drugs and AG
- renal replacement therapy
What is pathogenesis of contrast induced nephrotoxicty?
-renal ischemia from systemic hypotension and acute vasoconstriction
What is clinical presentation of CIN? (3)
“NISR”
- injury presents 24-48hrs after
- serum creatinine peaks at 3-5 days
- recovery in to 10 days
- non oliguria
Risk factors for CIN?(3)
- reduced renal blood flow
- GFR <60
- concurrent use of NSAIDS and ACE-I
Prevention of CIN? (2)
- use of low or iso-osmolar contrast agents
- hydration
What is management of CIN? (2)
- supportive care
- RRT
What is pathogenesis of Amphotericin B? (2)
- reduction in renal blood flow
- increased permeability and necrosis in tubular epithelium
