Q

Kidneys role in Regulation of BP

A

Decreased blood coming through afferent stimulates renin from juxtaglomerular cells of kidney

Renin turns A-> A1, A1 -> A2 by ACE, A2 = vasoconstriction, stimulates Na retention, release of ADH to increase Na

Prostaglandin will decrease efferent in HTN

AKI 3 categories of Kidney Injury

A

Prerenal = decreased renal blood flow

Intrinsic/intrarenal = structural damage within Glomerulus,tubule, interstitium

A

Doubling Cr

28
Q

Nonoliguria

A

Urine output > 500ml per day

29
Q

Oliguria

A

Urine output 100-500ml per day

30
Q

Anuria

A

Urine output <100ml per day

31
Q

Markers of AKI

A

2 X increase in Cr
Posible Change in Urine Output
Time frame, short period of time

32
Q

What to NOT use to measure AKI

A

Cockcrof and Gault eq = CrCL
MDRD and MDRD4 eq = GFR
CKD-EPI eq = GFR

33
Q

Who develops AKI?

A

Pt on high meds = increase risk
Community generally <1% risk

Inpatient setting = risk ~10%

Critically ill = ~25%, survival rate 10-30%

34
Q

% of AKI cases thought to develop in hospital?

A

50%

increase risk of death, length of stay, move to ICU

35
Q

AKI Risk Factors

A
Non-modifiable:
CKD
Diabetes
Older age
Cirrhosis
CHF
Renal artery stenosis
PVD
Modifiable:
Major surgery/anesthesia
Sepsis/shock
Volume depletion
Hyper/Hypotension
Nephrotoxic meds
36
Q

Tenting of skin suggests….

A

Prerenal

37
Q

Dark “Tea colored” Urine suggests….

A

Prerenal

38
Q

Fever and High WBC count suggests….

A

AIN and Glomerulonephritis

39
Q

A

AIN and Glomerulonephritis

40
Q

Blood in Urine suggests…

A

Post renal or Glomerulonephritis

41
Q
