Dx – Naat

x – Metronidazole

33
Q

IF we see an increased Cr by .3 or by 50% within 48 hours – what do you think of? What are the different types?

A

Acute Kidney Injury

  1. Pre-renal
  2. Intrinsic
  3. Post-Renal
34
Q

Are there any sxs associated with acute kidney injury?

A

Either Asymptomatic or edema, HTN, fatigue

35
Q

What are the MC causes of pre-renal AKI?

A

decreased renal perfusion = dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, CHF

Also, NSAIDs, contrast, and ACE

36
Q

How do you Dx pre-renal AKI?

A

UA = normal
BUN/Cr >20:1
Urine Na <20
Urine Osmol = increased

37
Q

How do treat pre-renal AKI?

A

Increase renal perfusion via GIVE FLUIDS!

38
Q

If you see muddy brown casts, tubular cell casts, and dysmorphic RBC’s on UA – Dx?

A

Intrinsic renal disease

39
Q

What is the MC cause of Intrinsic AKI?

A

ATN (caused by ischemia secondary to prolonged decreased renal perfusion)

*thrombus, scleroderma, malignant HTN or aminoglycosides and sulfonamides

40
Q

How do you dx intrinsic AKI?

A

UA = granular muddy brown casts, tubular cell casts, dysmorphic RBC’s, hematuria, and/or proteinuria
BUN/Cr 10:1
Urine Na >40
Urine Osmol = decreased

41
Q

How do we treat intrinsic AKI?

A

Treat underlying cause (fluids DO NOT improve ATN)

42
Q

What causes post-renal AKI? Tx?

A

Due to outflow obstruction

Tx – Cath or remove obstruction

43
Q

What are some life threatening issues associated with AKI?

A

Hyperkalemia (dialysis for peaked T waves), uremia, and metabolic acidosis

44
Q

What will cause a false-positive for blood in the urine?

A

Rhabdo from Hyperkalemia

45
Q

If a pts GFR has been decreased over the past 3 months – dx? What is a decrease in GFR?

A

Chronic renal failure

Less than 60 = decreased GFR

46
Q

What other ways can we see kidney damage?

A

Protein uria, casts, small echogenic kidneys on U/S

47
Q

So a GFR of 45-59 is known as what?

A

3A

48
Q

So a GFR of 30-44 is known as what?

A

3B

49
Q

So a GFR of 15-29 is known as what?

A

4

50
Q

So a GFR of less than 15 is known as what?

A

5

51
Q

How do we treat chronic renal failure?

A

start with protein and sodium restriction

52
Q

If someone has CKD and HTN how do we treat them?

A

ACE/ARB and loop diuretic

*be careful of hyperkalemia!!

53
Q

When we start an ACE what lab finding do we often see?

A

Transient drop in GFR

*Why you need a baseline Cr and K, followed by a re-check, if Cr increases by over 30% stop ACE

54
Q

CKD is viewed as an equivalent to what?

A

Coronary artery disease

55
Q

What are some indications for dialysis?

A

Uremia, significant bleeding, refractory metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, pericarditis, and malnutrition, and GFR of 5!

56
Q

What is the normal range for a pH?

A

7.35-7.45

57
Q

What is normal PCO2?

A

35-45

58
Q

What’s a normal bicarb?

A

24-30

59
Q

If the pH is down – what state are you in?

A

Acidosis

60
Q

If the pH is up – what state are you in?

A

Alkalosis

61
Q

If both the pH and bicarb are down – what state are you in? Cause? Tx?

A
Metabolic Acidosis (both go down = metabolic)
 
MUDPILES
 
Tx underlying cause
62
Q

What does MUDPILES stand for?

A

Methanol, uremia, DKA, propylene glycol, infection/isonized, lactic acidosis, ethylene glycol/ethanol, and salicylates (ASA)

63
Q

If the pH is low but the bicarb is high – what state are you in? What can cause it? Tx?

A
Respiratory acidosis
 
Caused by svere COPD or drug OD
 
Tx = ventilator support or narcan
64
Q

If the pH is up but the bicarb is down – what state? Cause? Tx?
