Kidney Toxicity (Table) Flashcards
Mechanisms of chemically induced AKI:
Diuretics, ACE, ARBS, Antihypertensives
Pre-renal
Mechanisms of chemically induced AKI:
NSAIDS, Radiocontrast Agents, Cyclosporine, Tacrolimus, Amphotericin B
Vasoconstriction
Mechanisms of chemically induced AKI:
Sulfonamides, Methotrexate, Acyclovir, Triamterene, Ethylene glycol, Protease inhibitors
Crystalluria
Mechanisms of chemically induced AKI:
Aminoglycosides, Cisplastin, vancomycin, Pentamidine, Radiocontrast agents, Heavy metals, haloalkane and haloalkene
Tubular Toxicity
Mechanisms of chemically induced AKI:
Cyclosporine, Mitomycin C, Tacrolimus, Cocaine, Conjugated estrogens, Quinin
Endothelial Injury
Mechanisms of chemically induced AKI:
Gold, Pencillamine, NSAIDS
Glomerulopathy
Mechanisms of chemically induced AKI:
Antibiotics, NSAIDs, Diuretics
Interstitial Nephritis
Glomerular Injury:
Impair glomerular ultrafiltration
without significant loss of structural
integrity and decrease GFR
Cyclosporine,
Amphotericin B, and
Gentamicin
● ↓ GFR by renal vasoconstriction
● ↓ Glomerular capillary ultrafiltration
coefficient (Kf)
Amphotericin B
Interacts with anionic sites on the
endothelial cells → ↓ GFR and Kf
Gentamicin
T/F: Gentamicin drug has
a narrow therapeutic index
True
Renal vasoconstriction and vascular
damage, injurious to the glomerular
endothelial cell
Cyclosporine
Drugs that causes glomerular injury
Cyclosporine,
Amphotericin B, and
Gentamicin
drugs that causes LOOP OF HENLE/DISTAL TUBULE/
COLLECTING DUCT INJURY
Amphotericin B, Methoxyflurane, Cisplastin
The initial target of abusive consumption of analgesics is the
Medullary interstitial cells > Degenerative changes in the
medullary capillaries > Loops of Henle > Collecting ducts
