AKI stages -names

Initiating phase, oliguric phase, diuretic phase, recovery phase

Initiating stage (AKI 1)

kidney injured, urine volume down, anorexia, lethargy, nausea, HA, muscle cramps, fatigue

Oliguric phase (AKI 2)

Renal repair begins as tubular cells regenerate; nephrons become obstructed with inflammatory products; decrease in GFR, tubular transport of substances, urine formation, and renal clearance; the longer this stage persists, the poorer the prognosis


5-15 days

Diuretic phase

BUN falls, urine output >400mL/day

Recovery stage (4th stage)

Extends from the time BUN is stable and urine output normal to the day the patient returns to normal activity (can take 10 months)


Can progress to chronic renal failure

Bladder cancer risk factors

smoking, presence of renal tumors, exposure to aromatic amine dyes, arsenic, chronic use of phenacetin-containing analgesics, chronic lower UTI, recurrent nephrolithiasis

Bladder cancer symptoms

Frequently asymptomatic until hematuria episode


dysuria, frequency, chills, low grade fever, weight loss, urinary urgency, pelvic pain

palpable mass or metastatic manifestations
