Question
Answer
2 most common causes of chronic kidney disease that predispose to development of acute kidney injury in setting of other exposures   Diabetes and hypertension  
🗑
"I am not making much urine" goes under which section of a note   Chief complaint  
🗑
By which mechanism does an ACE inhibitor increase risk of AKI   It blocks the conversion of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II which inhibits vasoconstriction of the efferent arteriole which is needed to maintain GFR in decreased blood pressure or volume  
🗑
Effect of NSAID on Renal Blood flow   Vasoconstricts afferent arteriole  
🗑
Effect of ANP on Renal Blood flow   Vasodilates afferent arteriole  
🗑
Effect of Prostaglandin on Renal Blood flow   Vasodilates afferent arteriole and vasoconstricts efferent arteriole  
🗑
Effect of Angiotensin II on Renal Blood flow   Vasoconstricts efferent arteriole  
🗑
Effect of Norepinephrine on Renal Blood flow   Vasoconstricts efferent arteriole  
🗑
Effect of ACE inhibitor on Renal Blood flow   Vasodilates efferent arteriole  
🗑
Rash in a kidney patient can be indicative of   Glomerulonephritis or autoimmune (lupis)  
🗑
Frothy urine is indicative of   Proteinuria  
🗑
Tea colored urine is indicative of   Hematuria or rhabdomylosis  
🗑
Tachycardia, hypotension, reduced skin turgor with tenting and syncope are all findings supporting   Volume depletion  
🗑
Definitive way of diagnosing post-renal causes   Ultrasound  
🗑
Increased Lactic acid levels are due to   Ischemia/hypoperfusion  
🗑
Lack of blood and protein in the urine points to   Pre-renal causes  
🗑
In pre-renal disease, a decreased flow leads to increased reabsorption of   BUN  
🗑
A BUN:CR for pre-renal etiologies   >20  
🗑
Decreased pressure and flow lead to activation of   RAAS  
🗑
Urine sodium levels for pre-renal etiologies   <20  
🗑
Explain why urine sodium levels are low in pre-renal disease   In cases of depleted volume, Kidneys will activate RAAS and maximally reabsorb sodium and therefor increasing water retention. This will happen as long as TUBULES ARE INTACT  
🗑
RBCs or RBC casts are indicative of   Intrinsic glomerular disease  
🗑
"Muddy brown" granular casts are indicative of   Intrinsic Tubular disease  
🗑
WBCs and WBC casts with a negative urine culture are indicative of   Intrinsic Interstitial disease  
🗑
High BUN:CR and Low Na+ points to   Pre-renal disease  
🗑
Low BUN:CR and high Na+ points to   Intrinsic renal disease  
🗑
High BUN:Cr and high Na+ points to   Post-renal disease  
🗑
Pre-renal etiology is due to   True volume depletion or medications affecting renal blood flow  
🗑
Plan for patient with pre-renal causes   IV fluid hydration and holding potential offending medications  
🗑
Anuria   Absence of urine formation (<100 ml/day)  
🗑
Oliguria   Scanty urine production (<400-500 ml/day)  
🗑
Normal urine production   >500 ml/day  
🗑
Nephrotoxic   Toxic to renal cells  
🗑
Nephritic   Relating to or suffering from nephritis  
🗑
Nephritis   Inflammation of the kidneys (RBC in urine)  
🗑
Nephrotic   Relating to, caused by, or similar to nephrosis  
🗑
Nephrosis   Damage to renal tubular epithelium/glomerular basement membrane (protein in urine)  
🗑
General cause of prerenal disease   Less fluid is delivered to the kidneys for filtration  
🗑
General cause of intrinsic renal disease   The kidneys are unable to produce urine to due intrinsic disease  
🗑
General cause of Postrenal disease   The kidneys are obstructed and urine cannot be excreted  
🗑
Nephritic urine sediment suggests   Glomerulonephritis  
🗑
Sterile pyuria suggests   Interstitial nephritis  
🗑
Proteinunuria suggests   Intrinsic/Glomerular process  
🗑
