Trigger - AKI part 1 Flashcards
this finding can indicate Acute obstruction, cortical necrosis, aortic dissection
anuria
this finding is indicative of poor prognosis in AKI
oliguria
s/s include encephalopathy, dry skin, HTN and tachypnea.
uremia
also:
General - weakness, fatigue
Neuro - tremors, seizures, encephalopathy, confusion, coma
Skin - itching, dryness
Cardiovascular - pericardial effusion, pericarditis, HTN
GI - anorexia, nausea, vomiting
Other - shallow breaths/tachypnea, metabolic acidosis
s/s include weakness, tremors, confusion, pericarditis, metabolic acidosis
uremia
also:
General - weakness, fatigue
Neuro - tremors, seizures, encephalopathy, confusion, coma
Skin - itching, dryness
Cardiovascular - pericardial effusion, pericarditis, HTN
GI - anorexia, nausea, vomiting
Other - shallow breaths/tachypnea, metabolic acidosis
low FENa+ (<1%)
prerenal azotemia
also see decreased GFR and BUN:Cr as well as hyaline casts on urine sediment
hyaline casts on urine sediment
prerenal azotemia
s/s include uremia, diffuse abdominal pain, ileus and decreased urine output
prerenal azotemia
tamm-horsfall mucoprotein is associated with what
forms the hyaline casts found in prerenal azotemia
etiology of retroperitoneal fibrosis and neurogenic bladder
etiologies of postrenal obstruction. i keep forgetting these two specifically
s/s include anuria or polyuria with lower abdominal pain
postrenal obstruction
s/s include distended bladder, enlarged prostate or pelvic/abdominal mass
postrenal obstruction
urine osmolality of 400 or less
postrenal obstruction
urine sediment that is normal but may have RBC, WBC and crystals
postrenal obstruction
CK > 20,000-50,000
myoglobinuria
false + hemoglobin on urine dipstick
myoglobinuria
dark brown urine with no presence of RBC
myoglobinuria
complications include hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, hyperuricemia
myoglobinuria
etiology includes transfusion reaction and hemolytic anemia
hemoglobinuria (seen in acute tubular necrosis)
etiology includes rapid cell turnover and lysis such as during chemo
hyperuricemia
s/s include arrhythmias, abdominal pain and uremia
ATN
hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia and elevated urine sodium
ATN
urinary sediment shows pigmented granular casts or “muddy brown” casts, renal tubular cells and epithelial cell casts
ATN
