🗑
Check for _____ in kids   *lead toxicity*

🗑
List the other causes of CIN   Medications Post acute Tubular Necrosis Autoimmune- Sjogren's syndrome Raditaion  
🗑
The hallmark of CIN   **Sterile Pyuria** Inflammatory response to something  
🗑
Clinical features of CIN   Usually asymptomatic Anemia Acidosis RTA Minimal Proteinuria Hypertension  
🗑
Tx of CIN   BP control is the MOST IMPORTANT ACEI/ARB are DoC Anemia control Acidosis control Phosphorus control  
🗑
Do you give a pt with CIN pyuria antibiotics?   NO Not unless there is bacteria present It's inflammatory, NOT an infxn  
🗑
Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN)   Most common RENAL ARF Necrosis due to microthrombi Frequently due to prolonged hypotension and augmentation of the immune system from sepsis.  
🗑
Causes of ATN   Sepsis Drugs (NSAIDs) Post-operative-post CABG Pancreatitis Prolonged and Untreated prerenal conditions  
🗑
Clinical features of ATN   Oliguric or non-oliguric Azotemia Elevations in serum Creatinine may not reflect the degree of renal dysfxn Acidosis/hyperkalemia  
🗑
ATN labs   Uosm <350, Una >40, FeNa >2 Plasma BUN/Cr <10-15 Ucr/Pcr <20 **Muddy brown casts on Urine Sed.**  
🗑
Tx of ATN   Treat underlying condition Dopamine doesn't work ANP doesn't work High dose Loops: limited Dialysis MAY increase survival  
🗑
Rental tubular acidosis (RTA)   Met. acidosis usually caused by a defect in renal tubular fxn (genetic)  
🗑
How many types of RTA exist?   3 types: 1 proximal (type 2) 2 distal (types 1 & 4)  
🗑
What does the anion gap look like in RTA?   Normal gap metabolic acidosis  
🗑
Relate RTA types with serum K   Type 1: Low K Type 2: Normal L Type 3: High K  
🗑
Type 2 RTAs   Mechanism similar to acetazolamide (decreased HCO3 reabsorption in the proximal tubule)  
🗑
Causes Type 2 RTA in children   Fanconi Syndrome  
🗑
Fanconi syndrome   Rare disorder of tubule fxn Results in excess glucose, HCO3, phosphates, uric acid, K, Na, and some amino acids in the urine May be hereditary  
🗑
Etiologies of Type 2 RTA   Drugs Heavy Metals Disorders or protein, carbs, or amino acid metabolism Multiple myeloma (adults)

🗑
RTA Type 4 Tx   Tx aimed at treatingthe primary dz Try to give HCO3 but MUST restrict K  
🗑
Type 1 RTA   Distal defect in H secretion Pts become acidotic and hypokalemic Commonly causes renal stones  
🗑
How do children with Type 1 RTA present?   Commonly with failure to thrive
