diagnostic criteria for acute kidney injury (AKI) (or acute renal failure (ARF))
|
-an abrupt (within 48hrs) absolute increases in the serum creatinine concentraiton of >/= 3mg/dL from baseline, a percantage inc in the serum creatinine concentration of >/= 50%
-or oligouria of <.5 mL/kg /hr for > 6 hrs -criteria can only be applied after vol status had been optimized (PRE RENAL) -UTI has been excluded if oligouria was used as the sole diagnostic criteria (POST RENAL) |
|
AKI- Stage 1
|
-inc in serum creatinine of >/= 0.3 mg/dL or
-inc to more than or equal to 150 to 200% from baseline or -urine output < 0.5 mL/kg/hr for >6 hrs |
|
AKI- Stage 2
|
-inc in serum creat >200-300 % from baseline or
-urine output < 0.5 mL/kg/hr for >12 hrs |
|
AKI- stage 3
|
-inc in serum creat to > 300% from baseline or
-serum creat of >/= 4.0 mh/dL with an acute inc of at least 0.5 mg/dL or -urine output < 0.3 mL/kg/hr for 24 hrs or anuria for 12 hrs |

2. HTN glomerulosclerosis: 30%** 3. chronic glomerulonehpritis: 16% 4. chronic interstitial nephritis: 6% 5. polycystic kidney dz: 6% 6/ others and unknown etiology |
|
CKD pathogenesis
|
-uremic toxins
-overproduction of counter-regulatory hormones: PTH -underproduction of renal hormones: erythropoietin and 1 hydroxylation of vit D3 |
|
CKD pathophys
|
-inc in GFR in remaining nml nephrons-adoptive hyperfiltration
-this hyperfiltration permits sodium, K, Ca, phos, total body water to near nml in mild to mod renal failure -loss of flexibility to handle sudden load of solutes- water, sodium or potassium |
|
CKD- solute handling - Cr and Urea
|
-Tubular creatinine secretion is increased to 30% (normal 10%) in CRF
-Tubular urea absorption falls to 30% (normal-50-60% of filtered urea) as GFR decreases |
|
CKD-solute handling- potassium
|
-90% of K is excreted in urine and 10% in stool in a nml subject
-distal tubular secretion increases: : (1) increased tubular flow rate (2) increased distal Na delivery (3) increased luminal negative charge -in CKD/CRF, fecal excretion of K is inc to 35% of K intake |
|
hyperkalemia
|
Increased dietary intake
Potassium sparing diuretics ACE inhibitors and ARBs NSAID use Constipation Protein catabolism Metabolic acidosis Hemolysis, hemorrhage Blood transfusion Type IV RTA |
|
hypokalemia
|
Diarrhea
Vomiting Excessive diuretic use Metabolic alkalosis Type I RTA Type II RTA |
|
CKD- solute handling- water
|
-Nocturia-decreased urine concentrating ability of kidney during sleep
- Urine concentrating ability of kidney becomes fixed at 300 mosm/kg of water |
|
CKD- solute handling: Hydrogen
|
-Positive balance of hydrogen ions- decreased tubular NH3 production
-Flexibility of handling hydrogen load by kidney is impaired in CRF |
|
CKD: progression: secondary factors
|
1. systemic HTN
2. intraglomerular HTN 3. glomerular hypertrophy 4. intra-renal deposition of CaPO4 5. hyperlipidemia 6. proteinuria |
