Question
Answer
formula for fractional excretion of sodium   [urine Na/urine Cr]/[serum Na/serum creatinine]x100  
🗑
definition of anuric vs oliguric vs non-oliguric urine output   anuric is anything less than 50 ml in 24 hours. oliguric is between 50 and 500 ml in 24 hours. non-oliguric is greater than 500 ml in 24 hours.  
🗑
what is pseudonephrotoxicity   drug induced inhibition of creatinine secretion, examples trimethoprim and cimetidine. increases in BUN due to drugs such as steroids and tetracyclines. drugs that interfere with creatinine assay such as cefoxitin/cephalosporins  
🗑
three classifications of AKI   interstitial/intrinsic (AIN/ATN), prerenal and postrenal  
🗑
examples of causes of prerenal AKI   volume depletion, CHF, renal artery stenosis, high calcium, NSAIDS/ACEi/ARBs, cyclosporine  
🗑
examples of causes of postrenal AKI   kidney stones, BPH, cancers  
🗑
examples of causes of intrinsic AKI or acute tubular necrosis or acute interstitial nephritis   nephrotoxins, vasculitis, glomerulonephritis, long standing renal hypoperfusion  
🗑
urinalysis indications of prerenal AKI   BUN:Scr >20:1, urinalysis shows concentrated urine, urine sodium <20, FeNa<1%,  
🗑
urinalysis indications of intrinsic AKI   BUN:Scr <15:1, urine not concentrated, muddy casts, FeNa>2%, urine sodium >40. WBCs/RBCs positive, protein positive,  
🗑
urinalysis indications of postrenal AKI   BUN Scr <15:1, urine not concentrated, FeNa>2%, urine sodium >40. protein negative, blood positive,  
🗑
causes of acute tubular necrosis   aminoglycosides, iodinated contrast, cisplatin/carboplatin, amphotericin B  
🗑
causes of acute allergic interstitial nephritis, timing of presentation and treatment   beta lactams and NSAIDS - for beta lactams usually presents 1-2 weeks into treatment. for NSAIDs presents after 6 months. treat with withdrawal of the offending drug and give steroids  
🗑
causes of chronic interstitial nephritis, timing of presentation   lithium (>10 years of treatment), cyclosporin and tacrolimus (6-12 months of therapy for both.  
🗑
how do you prevent ATN due to radiocontrast   give fluids for volume expansion with NS or bicarb 6-12 hours prior to procedure. maintain a urine output of >150 ml/hr.  
🗑
treatments for prerenal AKI   correct the primary hemodynamics with NS, pressure management and blood products  
🗑
treatments for intrinsic AKI   remove causative agent, manage fluids and electrolytes, loops to deal with hypervolemia.  
🗑
treatments for post renal AKI   relieve obstructions  
🗑
indications for renal replacement therapy in AKI   BUN>100, volume overload not responding to diuretics, uremia or encephalopathy, life threatening electrolyte imbalances such as K or Mg, refractory metabolic acidosis  
🗑
