Renal Therapeutics Flashcards
how long does an AKI last?
7 days or less
when does AKD occur?
7 to 90 days after AKI
AKI Dx
1) SCr 1.5-1.9 x baseline over 7 days
or
2) SCr increase greater than or equal to 0.3 mg/dL over 48 hours
monitoring for AKI loop use?
dec intravascular volume
dec BP
inc HR
alkalosis
nephrotoxins
aminoglycosides (gentamicin, …)
amphotericin
iodinated contrast
vancomycin
drugs to avoid in AKI prevention
sodium bicarbonate
vitamin C
dopamine
fenoldapam
pre-renal AKI Dx
FeNa < 1%
or
if on loop, FeUrea < 35%
what kidney assessment measure do you avoid in AKI?
SCr –> lags 1-2 days behind GFR
drugs to temporarily hold in hemodynamic AKI?
- ACEi
- ARB
- SGLT2i
- calcineurin inhibitors
- NSAIDs
drugs to temporality hold in pre-renal AKI?
- loop diuretic
- thiazide diuretic (HCTZ, chlorthalidone)
dialysis modalities
hemodialysis
peritoneal dialysis
continuous kidney replacement therapy
HD access points
1) arteriovenous fistula
2) arteriovenous graft
3) central venous catheter
which HD access is highest risk of infection, thrombosis, inadequate dialysis?
central venous catheter
HD fistula characteristics
preferred long-term access, takes 6-12 weeks to mature after surgical creation, lowest infection/thrombosis risk
HD graft characteristics
plastic tube outside of body
HD catheter characteristics
last-line option, used short-term (while bridging to fistula), highest infection/thrombosis risk
what are the risk factors associated with HD access?
- thrombosis
- infection
- inadequate dialysis (slower blood flow)
peritoneal dialysis complications
infection of peritoneal membrane
- can occur from site of entry and tip of catheter infection
- ensure aseptic technique
when to do HD TDM?
prior to HD
- bc after HD there is 4-6 hours of redistribution and fluid shifts, therefore fluctuating drug concentrations
when to do PD TDM?
random
when to do CRRT TDM?
random
HD complications
hypotension
cramping
fatigue
infection
thrombosis
bleeding
PD complications
peritonitis
fluid overload
hyperglycemia
midodrine indication
HD hypotension complication
midodrine MoA
alpha-1 agonist –> stimulates peripheral vasoconstriction (pro-drug) -> inc BP
midodrine dosing
2.5-10mg po 30 min before HD
midodrine AE
bradycardia, hypertension, peripheral ischemia, urinary retention
midodrine CI
severe PVD
midodrine DDI
MAOIs, sympathomimetics
vitamin E indication
HD cramping symptom improvement
vitamin E dose
400 IU po qhs
what to avoid to treat HD cramping
quinine
HD thrombosis treatment and dose
alteplase (cathflo) 2mg/2mL instilled for 30-120 min
HD hypotension and cramping treatment
100-250mL 0.9% NaCl
vancomycin efficacy failure vs toxicity for dialysis
toxicity: ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity, red man’s syndrome (puritis, …)
efficacy failure: infection mortality and morbidity
what drug characteristics allow for no renal dosing?
large therapeutic index
and
fraction excreted unchanged in urine 30% or less
and
inactive or no metabolites
which kidney assessment do you use for CKD staging?
eGFR (CKD-EPI)
which kidney assessment do you use for drug dosing?
eCrCl (cockcroft-gault)
opioids safe in kidney disease
fentanyl
methadone
opioids caution in kidney disease
hydromorphone
oxycodone
hydrocodone
