Renal CIS Flashcards
1
Q
most accurate place to check for skin tenting
A
-forehead
2
Q
acute phase reactants
A
(serum proteins)
- accompanies acute and chronic infl and tissue injury
- proteins whose serum conc inc or dec by 25% during infl states
- positive (go up)- ESR, CRP, ferritin, WBC, haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin
- negative (decrease)- albumin, transferrin
3
Q
reactive thrombocytosis
A
- thrombocytosis in absence of a chronic myeloproliferative or myelodysplastic disorder
- in pts who have a medical or surgical condition, likely to be assoc with an inc platelet count, and the platelet count normalies after resolution of the condition!!
- recent surgery, bacterial infection, trauma
4
Q
DDX for acute kidney injury
A
- prerenal- dehydration, hypotension
- renal- atrophic kidney makes the other kidney more susceptible, toxins
- postrenal- obstruction, stone, BPH
5
Q
diagnostic criteria for acute kidney injury
A
- KDIGO- inc in serum creatinine of 0.3 over 48 hrs or >50% over 7 days!!
- urine output < 0.5 mL/kg/hr for >6 hrs
6
Q
hyperkalemia- clinical features
A
(need baseline EKG with elevated K)
- peaked T waves
- symptoms uncommon unless K > 7- m weakness, ventricular arrhythmias
7
Q
hyperkalemia- treatment
A
- EKG
- stabilize cardiac membranes with Ca
- shift K into cells- insulin and glucose, B-2 agonist, sodium bicarbonate
- remove K- cation exchange resin, loop/thiazide diuretic, hemodialysis
8
Q
DDX for renal mass
A
- renal cell carcinoma
- benign renal tumors (oncocytoma, angiomyolipoma, metanephric adenoma)
- metastatic dz
- xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis
9
Q
DDX for atrophic kidney
A
- in utero
- first year of life- anorexia, vomiting, failure to thrive
- after first year of life- frequent pyelonephritis
10
Q
indications for dialysis therapy
A
- fluid overload that is refractory to diuretics
- hyperkalemia (>6.5), or rapidly rising K levels, refractory to medical therapy
- metabolic acidosis (pH < 7.1) in pts that bicarbonate is not indicated
- uremia signs- pericarditis, neuropathy, decline in mental status
11
Q
systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS)
A
- temp > 38 C (100.4 F)
- HR > 90
- Resp rate > 20
- WBC > 12,000, < 4,000
12
Q
sepsis
A
2 more SIRS criteria
-systemic response to infection
13
Q
always get what in sepsis pts?
A
blood cultures!
14
Q
most common cause of UTI and pyelonephritis
A
E coli!!
15
Q
cause of honeymoon cystitis
A
-Staph saprophyticus
16
Q
Anion gap
A
Na - Cl - HCO3
