Exam #3 Flashcards
(187 cards)
what are the types of acute kidney injury?
pre renal, intra renal, post renal
what is the function of the kidney?
remove waste from blood, produce urine, bp control, metabolize drugs, pH and erythropoietin
what is intra renal AKI?
direct injury to the kidney
what causes pre renal aki?
decreased kidney perfusion, dehydration, low bp, bleeding out
what is a pre renal acute kidney injury?
something occurs before the kidney causing them to fail
what is the cause of intra renal AKI?
kidney vasculature problem, clots, ischemia, and inflammation of structures in kidney
what body parts can contribute to post renal AKI?
ureter, bladder, urethra, prostate, kidney stones, BPH, obstruction
what are the stages of kidney injury?
initiation, oliguria, diuresis, recovery
what is post renal AKI?
damage to kidney due to structures after the kidney
what happens during the diuresis stage of KI?
the kidneys are correcting and urine output is high
what happens in the initiation stage of kidney injury?
the cause of the injury
what happens during the oliguria stage of kidney injury?
injury sets in causing low urine output
how many mL per day for oliguria patient in AKI?
less than 400 per day
what happen to kidney labs during oliguria stage of AKI?
bun and creatinine rise
what happens to fluid volume status during oliguria stage of AKI?
fluid volume overload
what is it called when patient over diuresis?
rebound dehydratin
what type of respirations can be present in acidotic aki patients?
Kussmal breathing
what happens to BUN and Creatinine during the diuresis of KF?
start to head towards normal levels
what happens to electrolytes during diuresis stage?
they can deplete due to output being so high
what happens during the recovery stage of KI?
complete recovery and normal labs
what happens to electrolytes in aki/kf that can skew labs?
hemodilution
what are manifestations for aki/kf
fluid overload, metabolic acidosis, hyperventilation to correct acdidity, change in LOC
what are the kidney injury labs?
what can happen to mental status during aki/kf?
lethargy, coma, uremic encephalopathy
