Q

Acute renal failure types: prerenal, renal, postrenal

  • Etiology
  • Diagnosis
  • Treatmment
A

Acute Renal Failure

Prerenal

  • Etiology: Perfussion deficient (volume depletion, severe liver disease, severe CHF)
  • Diagnosis: FENa <1%, High urine osmolarity, BUN:creatinine ratio 20:1
  • Treatmment: Fluid resuscitation

Renal

  • Etiology: Tubular injury, ATN, interstitial disease, glomerular disorder
  • Diagnosis: FENa >1%, BUN:creatinine ratio <10:1
  • Treatment: Remove renal toxin, treat underlying disease

Postrenal

  • Etiology: Urinatry tract obstruction
  • Diagnosis: FENa <1% with anuria, BUN:creatinine 10-20:1
  • Treatmment: remove obstruction

Q

Renal Osteodystrophy

  • Describe electrolyte deragement
  • Describe Endocrine deragement
  • How is it treated?
  • Describe disease manifestation and clinical consequences
A

Renal Osteodystrophy

Describe electrolyte deragement

  • Kidney can’t excrete phosphate
  • Kidney can’t activate Vitamin D to Calcitrol, no calcium absorption

Describe Endocrine deragement

  • Increased release of parathyroid hormone

How is it treated?

  • Phosphate binder

Describe disease manifestation and clinical consequences

  • Bone pain
  • Fractures
  • Cardiovascular calcifications

Acute Renal Failure - effects

Q

Renal toxic drugs

  • What medicine inhibits prostaglandin synthesis thereby preventing intrinsic renal vasodilitation?
  • Drugs with electrolytes (Pen VK, mag citrate)
  • Which inhalational anesthetic can be nephrotoxic
A

Renal toxic drugs

  • NSAIDS inhibit prostaglandin synthesis thereby preventing intrinsic renal vasodilitation. End result is vasodilation of afferent (toward glomerulus) renal a. and decreased GFR.
  • Drugs with electrolytes (Pen VK, mag citrate)
  • Sevoflurane: metabolite compound A is nephrotoxic

Q

Diabetes Insipidus

  • Etiologies:
  • Presentation labs:
  • Presentation clinical:
  • Role of DDAVP
  • Tx: central
  • Tx: nephrogenic
A

Diabetes Insipidus

  • Etiologies: cranial surgery, head trauma, HELLP syndrome
  • Presentation labs: hypernatremia
  • Presentation clinical: Oliguria (5-10L per day), no edema, concentrated urine
  • Role of DDAVP: Diagnositc test: if DDAVP decreases urine then SIADH central (pituitary). If DDAVP has no effect on UOP than renal cause.
  • Tx: central: DDAVP
  • Tx: nephrogenic: Thiazide, amioloride

Q

ADH

  • Life cycle: stimulated by, released from, acts on, effects are??
  • What counteracts ADH?
A

ADH

  • Stimulated by:
    • hypovolemia recognized by atrial stretch recoptors
    • hyperosmolarity recognized by hypothalamus
    • Angiotensin II
    • Sympathetic
  • Released from posterior pituitary
  • Acts on:
    • Distal tubule and collecting duct to increase H2O permeability
    • Sweat glands decrease sweating
    • Blood vessels for vasoconstriction
  • Effects:
    • Decreased UOP
    • Urine concentrated
    • Intravascular volume increased
    • Increased vasconstriction
  • Counteracted by:
    • Demeclocycline (induces nephrogenic diabetes insipidus) - no longer common tx
    • Conivaptan - direct ADH antagonist

  • Presentation: hyponatremia, euvolemic, urine concentrated
  • Management:
    • Fluid restriction
    • Conivaptan (direct ADH antagonist)
