what a sensitivity

A true positive 100% of individuals who have the disease will test for it
When you want to rule out the disease you excluded by checking
Sensitivity
When you want to rule in a disease you check it by using
Specificity
Possibilistic approach
Consider all causes equally likely
What is the probabilistic approach
Considers the most likely cause first... Most likely will be...
Prognostic approach
Considers the most dangerous or serious c diagnosis first
Pragmatic approach
Considers the diagnosis most responsive to treatment first
When prioritizing care what approach is used
Prognostic followed by probabilistic
Describe the test threshold model
Patient in between the test and treatment threshold will actually be further evaluated until their position falls pass the test or treatment threshold.

Is the test threshold is too low example complaining of sharp chest pain after lifting we do not need to test for a heart attack patients will fall after the treatment threshold is so obvious that you cheat right away while still doing testing

A test that is highly specific
Has a low percentage of false positive meaning that if a positive results come back it's likely that the patient has the disease
A test that is highly sensitive
Has a low percentage of false-negative results meaning that a negative result likely means that the patient does not have the disease

what will indicate immediate dialysis

Acidosis hyperkalemia fluid overload
Presence of hematuria without protein urea
Does not indicate A serious pathology
Presents of this is more diagnostic and prognostic of glomerular disease
Protein urea
Renal ultrasound can help look for
Stenosis hydronephrosis Stones does not assess pyelonephritis
Can you use a renal ultrasound for pyelonephritis
No
If you want to check Fir stone's how would you order imaging
Without any contrast/ plane
How do you assess for pyelonephritis
CT with contrast but first you have to get a urinalysis
How can you differentiate a stone versus pyelonephritis
Get a urinalysis patient with the kidney stone will have hematuria but no pyuria
Is abnormal to have increased red blood cells in urine after exercising
No it is not abnormal
Difference between T colored urine and Frank red urine
Bronzy color may indicate glomerular involvement

Red is often the distal source

He materia and protein urea
Needs further evaluation
Positive red blood cells positive protein in urine
Glomerular prompt evaluation
Positive red blood cells negative protein in urine
Extra glomerular reason
Negative red blood cells positive heme in urine
Hemoglobin or myoglobin
Negative red blood cell negative heme in urine
Drugs dyes
These medications give you a prerenal failure

nsaids, ace

What questions would you ask for a history to work up kidney disorders
Abdominal or flank pain-kidney stones

Trauma


Strenuous exercise - increased cpk/ rhabdo


Menstruation-Red urine


Recent upper respiratory infection or sore throat-Glomerulonephritis


Joint pain swelling-Rheumatic fever


Medications or toxins


Sickle cell disease or trait

Describe afferent and efferent arterioles

afferent-controlled by prostaglandin, mediates vasodilation


efferent-Control by angiotensin IICauses constriction

How does ibuprofen and nsaids effect gfr
It blocks cox1 and inhibits prostaglandin preventing vasodilation but efferent is still constricting and not being affected so what is coming in is a lot less since the vasodilation is being prevented
If you're patient is on nsaids and has now developed acute renal failure what do you do
Remove the nsaud
How ace1 affect renal filtration rate

ace prevents vasoconstriction while prostaglandins are still dilating there is no pressure everything that comes in is going to come out

These medications and foods affect urine color

Defined acute renal failure
Abrupt decrease in glomerular filtration rate with increase in creatinine resulting in the inability to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance
How is acute renal failure diagnosed
Creatinine increase in 0.3-0.5

Decreased GFR of at least 50%


Can be oliguric versus non-oliguricDepending on if theUrine output isLess then 500 mlper day or 25 ml.hr for four hours

However the client Can develop chronic renal failure

Prerenal intervention
Hydrate vasopressors if hydration is not working
Causes of intrarenal failure
Dyes medications like vancomycin aminoglycosides chemotherapy
What is the main form of intrarenal failure
Acute tubular necrosis
Common reasons foratn is
A prerenal cause usually hypovolemia
Prerenal failure is caused by
Hypovolemia

Volume shift


Decreased cardiac output


Myocardial infarction


Septic shock

Septic shock and myocardial infarction can cause what type of renal failure
Prerenal failure
Examples of houses for intrarenal failure
Acute tubular necrosis

Trauma


Antibiotics


Nephrotoxic medications


Infectious diseases



When trying to assess if it's a prerenal versus intrarenal cause what parameters to look at
Bun creatinine ratio

Urine sodium


FenA



This indicates Prerenal
Bun creatinine ratio greater than 20 to 1

fena less than 1%


Urine sodium less than 20%



This indicates intrarenal
Bun creatinine ratio <20:1

Urine sodium greater than 20 percent


fena Greater than 1%

Adverse effects of IV sodium bicarb
Flash pulmonary edema to sodium retention
Contraindications of Kayexalate
It dialysis in 24h
In hospital cause of arf is most likely due to
Acute tubular nec from multiple insults like hypotension sepsis and nephrotoxic drugs
To distinguish acute tubular in the process from prerenal states what three things do we look at
urine electrolytes

Urinalysis


Button and creatinine

To distinguish acute tubular nec from obstruction
Ultrasound
Treatment of intrarenal failure from contrast dye
Give acetylcysteine or sodium bicarb and IV fluids
What is renal insufficiency
Decreasing renal function resulting in a decrease in GFR
Diminished renal reserve
50% nephron loss creatinine doubles
Renal insufficiency quality
75% of nephron loss mild azotemia
End-stage renal disease quality
90% nephron damage azotemia metabolic alterations
Stages and GFR
Stage one GFR greater than 90 protein urea and he materia

States to 60 to 89Protein and hematuria


Stage 3 30 to 59


Stage for 15 to 29


States five less than 15

Stage one renal failure has a normal GFR how do we know that they are still in Reno Fellion
Protein and hematuria
What their flank pain with the urinary tract obstruction
Because there is increased pressure
When do we see anuria
Less than 100 ML's of urine per day

Seeing if there is a complete obstruction


In severe shock severe AtN and severe glomerulonephritis

How do we assess urinary tract obstruction
Using an alter sound they will see dilation of the collecting system i and sites of obstruction
When treating a urinary obstruction what A very important intervention
After post obstruction there will be a lot of diuresis so make sure you are replenishing what the patient is putting out to prevent hypovolemic shock
Difference between urolithiasis and nephrolithiasis
Urolithiasis is the formation of urinary stones formed in the ureters

Nephrolithiasis is the formation of kidney stonesFormed renal parenchyma

What happens at the renal obstruction is not removed
Urinary stasis results in infection impairment of renal function on the side of the blockage and hydronephrosis and can cause irreversible kidney damage
Causes of urolithiasis and nephrolithiasis
Family history

Diet high in calcium vitamin D milk protein purine Alkali


Dehydration


Urinary stasis


Use of diuretics which can causeVolume depletion
