Step 3 3 Flashcards
workup of any renal cause on CCS
UA + chemistry + renal US
intrarenal kidney failure differential
hepatorenal vs. cardiorenal vs. DM/HTN induced vs. ATN vs. meds (contrast, cisplatin, amioglycosides)
clue that kidney failure is contrast induced
usually extremely rapid in onset.
most accurate test for AIN
Wright or Hansel urine stain for eosinophils
AIN presentation
rash + fever + recent drug exposure
rhabdo causes
crush injury seizure cocaine prolonged immobility hypoK statins
Tests to order on CCS
- UA + urine myoglobin
- Potassium, calcium, BMP
Rhabdo orders
EKG
NS bolus
Mannitol + diuretics
Alkalinize urine
crystal induced renal failure treatment
ethanol or fomepizole + dialysis
management of patient who needs contrast and has mild renal insufficiency
hydrate with NS and possibly bicarb, N-acetyl cysteine or both
kidney pathologies caused by NSAIDs
direct toxicity and papillary necrosis
AIN
nephrotic syndrome
goodpasture’s treatment
plasmapheresis + steroids
initial test for goodpasture’s
anti-basement membrane antibody
GPA presentation overall
Upper respiratory problems (eg sinusitis, ottitis) + lower respiratory (cough, hemoptysis, abnormal CXR) + renal involvement + systemic findings (joint, skin, eye, GI)
best initial test for GPA
c-ANCA
HTN orders on CCS
UA
EKG
Eye exam for retinopathy
Cardiac exam for murmur and S4 gallp
most effective lifestyle modification for HTN
weight loss
lifestyle modifications to tell patients for HTN reduction
Sodium restriction
Weight loss
Exercise
