Three types of ARF
Pre-Renal ARF
Intrinisic ARF (renal ARF)
Post renal arf
Pre-renal ARF
due to hypoperfusion of kidney, with inadequate blood delivery to the glomerulus
Causes of Pre-Renal ARF
hypotension, dehydration, hemorrhage, severe congestive heart failure, and shock
results of Pre-renal arf
oliguria
Labs for pre-renal arf
hi BUN and creatinine, with a BUN:creatinine ratio of >20.1
treatment for pre-renal ARF
iv fluids
Untreated pre-renal arf
evolved to acute tubular necrosis
Renal (intrinsic) ARF causes (5)
acute tubular injury
acute glomerulonephritis
acute tubulointerstitial nephritis
acute vascular nephropathy
infiltrative diseases
Acute tubular injury
such as from cyclosporine, amphotericin B, aminoglycosides, ethylene glycol (radiator fluid), hemoglobinuria (from massive hemolysis), myoglobinuria (from rhabdomyolysis), heavy metals, and contrast agents; severe, prolonged pre-renal ARF can also in acute tubular injury
#1 cause of renal ARF
pre-renal ARF
Acute Glomerulopnephritis
thus causing damage to the kidney since the glomerulus is part of the kidney
Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis
which is inflammation of tubules or renal parenchyma secondary to allergic reaction (usually to drugs) or due to infection (pyelonephritis).
Drugs more likely to cause Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (9)
pcns, nsaids, sulfonamides, ciprofloxacin, furosemide, thiazides, cimetidine, allopurinol, and phenytoin
Acute Vascular Nephropathy
which is pathology of or to renal vessels
Causes of Acute vascular nephropathy
vasculitis, malignant hypertension, TTP, atheroembolism(embolism of pieces of broken off atherosclerotic plaques)
Infiltrative diseases
which include any disease in which molecular infiltrates settles in the kidney tissue, resulting in dysfunction of kidney.
Causes of infiltrative disease
sarcoidosis and amyloidosis
Labs for Renal acute renal failrue
Hi BUN and creatinine with a BUN;creatinine ratio of <10.1
elevated potassium, sodium, magnesium, chloride
decreased calcium
Treatment for renal acute renal failure
identify and treat cause
what can renal ARF cause
Acute tubular necrosis
treatment?
30% mortality rate
Post renal ARF
to obstruction of outflow from the urine
Causes of post renal ARF (4)
benign prostatic hypertrophy
Bladder stone
B/L urolithiasis from ureters
Renal collecting system injury from trauma
Features of post renal ARF
oliguria or even anuria; pain is common
Labs for post renal ARF
as the back-up worsens, K levels rise as a consequence of its effects on the kidney itself
After removal of obstruction
depends on the severity and duration of the condition, permanent kidney damage may result
