Q

Why is creatinine a good marker for kidney function?

A

lots produced by muscles easily filtered in a normally functioning kidney. if rising levels this means that GFR is reduced

Q

How does rhabdomyolysis effect tubules?

A

myoglobin from muscle injury can precipitate and halt flow

36
Q

What symptom of rhabdomyolysis is indicative of kidney issues?

A

DARK urine

37
Q

What drug can cause rhabdomyolysis

A

STATINS

38
Q

What drug can cause rhabdomyolysis

A

STATINS

39
Q

What causes interstitial nephritis?

A

Inflammation of interstitial space
usually caused by sensitivity to drugs like penicillins, NSAIDS

40
Q

Why does ischema affect the kidneys so much?

A

because the kidneys use up a lot of oxygen and blood
hypoxic region of kidney very sensitive to O2 levels

41
Q

What part of the kidney operates at hypoxic levels

A

Medulla

42
Q

What conditions increase kidney damage?

A

atherosclerosis, ischemia,

43
Q

T/F Necrosis of tubules is reversible

A

True

44
Q

What is the only way to confirm intra renal damage?

A

biopsy

45
Q

True or false Kidney stones are directly related to calcium intake

A

False

46
Q

What increases your risk of kidney stones?

A

dehydration, protein intake, high salt intake(causes Ca excretion)

47
Q

What does RIFLE stand for

A

R=Risk
I=injury
F= failure to function
L=loss of function
E=ESRD

48
Q

What are the GFR and UO Criteria for R of RIFLE

A

increase of Scr 1.5 x baseline, GFR decrease by 25% or <0.5 urine /kg/h for 6 hrs

49
Q

What are the GFR and UO Criteria for I of RIFLE

A

increase of Scr 2 x baseline, GFR decrease by 50% or <0.5 urine /kg/h for 12 hrs

50
Q

What are the GFR and UO Criteria for F of RIFLE

A

increase of Scr 3 x baseline, GFR decrease by 75% or <0.3 urine /kg/h for 24 hrs or no pee for 12 hrs

51
Q

What are the GFR and UO Criteria for L of RIFLE

A

no function for 4 weeks

52
Q

What are the GFR and UO Criteria for E of RIFLE

A

ESRD

53
Q

what are the pros and cons of RIFLE

A

Pros- good accuracy
cons= baseline not known, MDRD only for CKD, using only Scr decreases accuracy

54
Q

What is the criteria to be in stage 1 of AKIN?

A

increase of Scr 1.5-2 x baseline or >0.3 mg/dl in 2 days UO< o.5ml/kg/h for 6 hrs

55
Q

What is the criteria to be in stage 2 of AKIN?

A

Increase of Scr 2-3 x baseline
UO<0.5ml/kg/h for 12 hrs

56
Q

What is the criteria to be in stage 3 of AKIN?

A

Increase of Scr >3 x baseline or >4mg/dl DIALYSIS
or No pee in 12 hrs or <0.3ml/kg for 24 hrs

57
Q

Complications of AKI

Q

Complications of AKI

A

Pulmonary edema, anemia, weakness, hyperkalemia, acidosis

59
Q

How does pulmonary edema happen

A

Na K ATPase, ENaC and aquaporin down regulated= retain fluid and inflammation

60
Q

How does hyperkalemia happen in AKI

A

Distal tubules damaged= can’t excrete K

61
Q

How does metabolic acidosis happen in AKI

A

loss of bicarbonate= causes nausea and vomitting

Q

How can you prevent AKI

only reduce risk by living healthy, managing conditions, and being careful with meds
