renal failure Flashcards
oliguria
less than 400cc/day
anuria
complete cessation of urine excretion
conservative in-patient standard of urine output per hour
0.5 - 1cc/kg/hr
glomerulus supplied by ? and drained by ?
afferent, efferent
proximal tubule
reabsorb Na secretory mechanisms (clear drugs, chemicals)
loop of henle
concentrate urine
collecting duct
reabsorbs water
reabsorbs OR secretes electrolytes
determines final concentration of urine
acute renal failure due to prerenal: basic cause
decreased blood flow to kidneys, volume
acute renal failure due to intrarenal: basic cause
acute tubular necrosis, nephrotoxins
acute renal failure due to postrenal: basic cause
obstruction
especially nephrotoxic antibiotic plus example
aminoglycoside, gentamicin
frequent dosing kills kidneys
postischemic prerenal acute renal failure: patho
reduced ATP –> free radicals –> cell swell + inflammation –> complement activation –> cytokines –> DAMAGE!
volume of distribution + average for healthy adult
dilutional space
amount of drug in body / plasma drug concentration
0.26 L/kg for healthy adult
physiologic effects of acute renal failure (x3)
hypertension (unopposed RAAS)
metabolic acidosis (unable to excrete H+)
hyperkalemia (can’t excrete enough K+)
serious clinical symptoms of chronic renal failure visible at ? function
70-75%
esrd classification at ? function
lt 10% renal function

ideal creatinine range
0.6 - 1.5
ideal BUN range
8 - 25
