QuestionAnswer
3 categories of ARF, what's MC? prerenal (MC), renal, postrenal (least common)
biggest risk ARF infxn
T/F urine output is decrsd in ARF F, can be oliguric, anuric, nonoliguric
key lab values use to difft pre-renal v ATN (renal) causes of ARF [Pre-renal value always listed 1st, then ATN] U_osmol: >500 v >350; U_Na: <20 v >40; FE_Na: <1% v >1%; BUN:serum_Cr : >20 v <20
how urine sediment is difft bw pre-renal and renal ARF pre-renal: hyaline casts, ATN: granular casts w epithelial cells
proteinuria (3/4+) suggests pre-renal or renal ARF? renal ARF (specifically glomerular)
Causes ATN: MC, other causes MC=ischemia, other: Abs ie aminoglycosides, radiocontrast, NSAID esp in CHF, mscl damage, hemoglobulinuria, MM Ig chains, chemo Rx
2 main causes of ARF due to renal dzs 1) ATN, 2) glomerular
causes of postrenal ARF MC=BPH, also stones (but would need to be bilateral)
RBC casts suggests what ARF etiology glomerular
WBC casts suggests what ARF etiology acute interstitial nephritis or pyelonephritis
fatty casts suggests what ARF etiology nephrotic syndome (glomerular cause ARF)
key causes of prerenal ARF anything hypovolemia, incl decrsd CO and systemic vasodilate (ie sepsis)
if renal perfusion is already compromised, what Rx can ppt ARF NSAIDs, ACEI, cyclosporin
