– Anti‐GBM disease
• Normal serum complement level
Renal adaptation to prerenal azotemia
maintain GFR by vasodilating afferent and constricting efferent
Primary renal hemodynamic abnormalities that may cause prerenalazotemia
• Renal artery stenosis, embolism, thrombosis
• *Medications (nonsteroidal anti
angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors)
anti‐inflammatory agents,
NSAIDs can cause azotemia by what way
Primary renal hemodynamic abnormalities
multiple myeloma
ATN
Cr plateaus 7‐10 days
ATN – time course
BPH
major cause of post renal acute kidney injury

Acute GN, ATN
Normal echogenicity
Prerenal AKI
Enlarged kidneys
HIV nephropathy, malignancy
Postrenal AKI (obstruction) Tx
– Foley catheter
– Ureteral stents
– Nephrostomy tubes
Complications of AKI and Uremia: Whats the K like
High up there
Volume overload, pulmonary edema,
pericarditis
Complications of AKI and Uremia: remember the K is high up there too
Treat complications when GFR is
30-59
Estimate
progression when GFR is
60-89
prepare for transplat when GFR is
15-29
kidney failure when GFR is
< 15

calcium acetate, sevelamer,
lanthunum carbonate)
Phosphate binders used in the rteartment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease
• Benign urine sediment
• Minimal proteinuria
Chronic Kidney Disease:
Hypertension
Vitamin D (calcitriol) or analogs how do they work in the context of chronic kidney disease
• Vitamin D (calcitriol) or analogs PTH suppresses
whats the sodium pH and Calcium like in chronic kidney disease
low sodium low calcium and these patients may be acidotic
Initiate dialysis when
• Cr Cl < 10 mL/min, Cr > 8.0 mg/dL in non
diabetic patients

• Cr Cl < 15 mL/min, Cr > 6.0 mg/dL in diabetic
patients
Renal replacement therapy is usually required
when the GFR is
< 10‐15 mL/min.
