RENAL

AKI/ CKD/ ESKD/Dialysis/ Kidney Transplant/ Cirrhosis

TermDefinition
Acute Kidney Injury is... Sudden onset- rapid kidney loss demonstrated by a ↑ in creat & or ↓ UOP proteinuria 3 Phases: Pre-renal, Intra-renal, and Post-renal COMMON CAUSE: Acute Tubular Necrosis COMMON CAUSE OF DEATH: Infection * Potentially reversible
Risks of developing ATN are... Major surgery, shock, sepsis, transfusion reaction, muscle injury, prolonged hypotension
R.I.F.L.E. Risk: <0.5ml/kg/hr > 6hrs Injury: <0.5 >12hrs Failure <0.3 >24hrs (oliguria <400ml/day) Loss: Persistent >4weeks Kidney Function LOss End-Stage: Complete loss >3 months aka CKD
How does AKI progress? Oliguric phase to diuretic, then recovery. If not CKD results requires dialysis & transplant.
Prerenal is.... Caused by external factors: burns, shock, dehydration, MI, ↓CO, renal thrombosis, cirrhosis fluid shift ↓ circulation ↓ UOP (oliguria or <.3ml/kg/hr for 24hrs) ↓ renal perfusion ↓ GFR
Are kidneys damaged during Prerenal? NO
Prerenal Azotemia ↓ excretion in sodium = ↑NA/H2O Retention =↓ UOP
Intrarenal is.... Caused by direct dmg to kidney tissue impairing nephrons- prolonged ischemia, nephrotoxins, sepsis, allergic reactions, AGN, SLE ATN most common cause Nephrotoxicity causes blockage of tubules *potentially reversable
Nephrotoxic agents Contrast, mycins, glycosides, antibiotics, sporins, NSAIDs, amphotericin, crush injury, chemical exposure to lead/ethanol/arsenic
Postrenal is.... Caused: BPH, prostate or bladder cancer, trauma to pelvis region, extrarenal tumors, calculi, spinal cord disease Bilateral ureter obstruction leads to hydronephrosis- if relieved w/48hrs poss recovery Prolonged obstruction irreversible
Oliguric Phase is defined as... <400ml/day 1-7 days post surgery, lasts 2wks Urine: casts, rbcs, wbcs, spec gravity stationary 1.010, urine osmo 300, Proteinuria may be present if renal failure is related to glomerular membrane dysfunction. Fluid retention causes heart failure, edema,
Best indicator of AKI is.. ↑ creat> 0.6-1.2
Urea and creatinine is... the end product of protein metabolism in kidneys
Diuretic Phase is Caused by High Urea and GFR- Kideneys can excrete nut not concentrate Lasts 1-3wks 1-5L daily in UOP ML for ML replaced bun/creat normalize at the end
Diuretic phase complications Hyponatremia, hypokalemia, & dehydration
AKI diagnostics Thorough PMH Serum creat urinalysis- casts, rbcs, wbcs, specific gravity 1.010, urine osmo 300 Kidney US Renal Scan CT w/o contrast Renal Biopsy
Hyperkalemia in AKI treatment Tx: Insulin and sodium bi-carb Calcium gluconate Kayexelate HD Dietary restriction
First step in treating AKI is Determine if adequate intravascular vol & CO to perfuse kidneys bc diuretic therapy may be used if AKI is not established loop diuretics lasix bumex mannitol
Fluid restriction in AKI 600ml + previous 24hr loss = intake restriction for the day
Never give kayexalate to Paralytic illeus
AKI risks Nephrotoxic drugs age trauma surgery burns heart failure sepsis ob complications pelvic trauma pre-existing ckd
Azotemia is ↑ bun and- urea- creat in blood
AKI nutrition Protein 1gm, K+ restriction, NA restriction, Phos restriction, Calcium supps or Phos binders, ↑Fat, 30-35kcal, cal 1000-1500mg, carbs
Nursing assessment of AKI Fluid intake and output Daily weight UOP color, glucose, gravity,protein,blood,casts skin color edema JVD bruising inflammation LOC crackles murmurs ecg for dysrythmias
Treatment of CAN Contrast assoc neuropathy- reversed by hydration plus bicarb or sodium chloride and mucomyst
Loss of 1kg is equal to 1000ml
Leading cause of death in aki is Infection
CKD is Progressive, irreversible loss of kidney function GFR <60ml/min/1.73 >3 months
CKD stages 1- >90 GFR/ 2- Mild GFR 60-89/ 3- Mod GFR 30-59/ 4- 15-29/ 5- <15 dialysis w/uremia present (uremia <10)
Uremia indicated by GFR<10ml/min
Clinical manifestations CKD Fatigue EARLY polyuria at night fixed gravity 1.010 Anuria UOP ↓40ml/24hrs Uremic pleuritis Hypertensive retinopathy encephalopathy amenorrhea or vaginal bleeding anemia osteo paresthesias scaly, flaky skin
Metabolic Distrurbances ↑ trig levels hyperinsulinemia stimulates
As GFR decreases... BUN and Creat increase
Most common cause of death in CKD Cardiovascular Disease
Fatal dysrhythmias can occur when K is.. 7-8
Anemia in CKD occurs bc Kidneys produce a hormone EPO, prompts bone marrow to make RBCs so when dmg occurs so does anemia Tx: Iron, erythropoietin epogen, folic acid 1mg/day, bleeding tendencies
CKD Infection Leukocytosis ↓ WBC ↑ Glucose- hyperglycemia- susceptible to infection trauma av/g site infection
You can feel a Thrill
You can hear a Bruit upon auscultation
Asterixis High ammonia levels cause hepatic encephalapathy and flapping of the hands when extended- also seen in renal
Diagnostics of CKD Persistent proteinuria 1+ 300mg/albumin/gm creat = CKD rbcs, wbcs, protein, casts, glucose
Drug therapy for CKD Statins- ↓LDL and Trig to <200 CCB (not diabetics), Aces&ARBS (ok diabetics), Anti HTN Phos Binder: PhosLo Calcium Acetate, Caltrate (cal carbonate), Renagel (sevlamer) Calcitrol IV (phos must be ↓first) Epogen,iron,folic, no transfusions
CKD nutrition is K Restricted NA Restricted 2-4g/day Protein Restricted ↓ Phos 1000mg Low Fat ↑carbs No salt subs 600ml+prev 24hr loss+ intake restriction
Drug therapy complications CKD Digoxin, Antibiotics, Demerol, NSAIDS, Fluid volume overload, Electrolyte imbalances
Early signs of CKD GFR<15ml >3months FATIGUE, lethargy, proteinuria, pruritus, HTN
Nursing Mgt CKD Daily weight Constant BP's Fluid overload monitoring Hyperkalemia (n/v, fatigue, paresthesias, brady) Strict Dietary Med Teaching HD & PD avail for home
Calories allowed HD 30-35/kcal/kg PD 25-35 kcal/kg/day (includes glucose fm dialysate)
CRRT Hemodynamically unstable clients- 24hr round the clock dialysis thru cannulation of artery or vein- much slower fluid pull than HD
Indications for RRT are... Volume overload hyperkalemia Metabolic Acidosis Bun >120 ↓LOC Pericarditis Peri-effusion Cardiac Tamponade
Hemodialysis is.. 4hrs daily or every other day 3-4x wk Used when rapid changes are needed in short time Req special staff, heparin, and close hypotension monitoring, weight monitoring pre and post dialysis
Hypovolemia.. Can exacerbate all forms of AKI
Metabolic Acidosis Kidneys cant synthesize ammonia, bicarb ↓acidic, and pt may develop kussmaul's
