Renal & acid base Flashcards
definitions of AKI
abrupt (48 hrs) reduction of kidney function defined as
-increase in serum creatinine >/= 0.3mg/dL increase
OR
-50% increase from baseline
OR
-decrease in UO < 05mL/kg/hr for > 6 hours
Oliguria criteria
<400 ml/d
Nonoliguric
> 400 ml/d
staging system used more for AKI
modified RIFLE
- ↑ of sCR >/+ 0.3mg/dL or ↑ >150-200%
- ↑ 200-300% from baseline
- ↑ >300% from baseline
modified RIFLE
most common form of AKI
prerenal
prerenal is typically due to
decreaesd renal perfusion
AKI type:
decreased circulation ( cardiac failure, nephrotic syndrome, cirrhosis, pancreatitis, sepsis, low BP, blood loss, trauma)
fluid loss (n/v/d, fever, increased urination, GIB
prerenal
AKI type:
Acute tubular necrosis
glomerular disease
interstitial disease
intrarenal
3 most common reasons for intrarenal AKI
Acute tubular Necrosis
Glomerular Disease
Interstitial Disease
(typically prerenal progresses)
acute tubular necrosis is caused by
radiographic contrast
lab needed for rhabdomyolosis
creatinine kinase
2 main causes of acute tubular necrosis (leading to INTRARENAL AKI)
ischemia and nephrotoxic exposure
Acute tubular necrosis electrolyte monitoring
↑Mg, ↑Phos, ↑Mg, ↓Ca
rhabdomyolysis
rapid hemolysis (masssive transfusion rx, hemolytic anemia)
Intrarenal (acute tubular necrosis)
Strep, rocky mt spotted fever, sarcoidosis and allergic rx to PCN, sulfas, etc. are all types of
intra renal interstitial nephritis (inside kidney)
eosinophilia (↑) in blood/urine
intrarenal interstitial nephritis
immune related and inflammatory glomerular lesions account for 5% of AKI
intrarenal glomerular nephritis
granular casts may be seen in urine in which type of AKI
intrarenal (ATN)
red cell casts and pyuria are typically seen in what AKI
intrarenal: glomerular
obstruction is the usual cause of which AKI
postrenal
stones
BPH
tumors
masses
clots
strictures
postrenal AKI
muddy brown casts are seen in
ATN
WBC casts are typically seen with
tubules infection/ pyelonephritis
RBC casts are seen with
glomerular nephritis
eosinophils are seen with
acute interstitial nephritis
FeNa is only validated in what 2 patients
oliguria or AKI
FeNa can not be used in
patients with diuretics, CKD, obstruction, acute glomerular disease
test of choice for renal artery stenosis
doppler ultrasound for vascular assessment
cysts, stones, masses, and size of kidneys can be seen on
renal US
what CT is preferred for stones
non contrast
MRI is used in place of
CT with contrast
do not over hydrate in what AKI
postrenal
always consult nephrology for
intrarenal AKI
steroids may be useful in what (2)
glomerural nephritis
&
interstitial nephritis
sepsis, ischemia, and endogenous and exogenous nephrotoxins are causes common causes of
AKI
AKI classifcation
RIFLE criteria stands for
RISK
INJURY
FAILURE
LOSS
ESRD
diminished renal perfusion cause dfrom low blood supply to the kidneys WITHOUT nephron damage
prerenal AKA (60% of AKI cases)
