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

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

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
