19
Q

Definition of azotemia

A

elevated BUN without sxs

20
Q

Definition of uremia

A

elevated BUN with sxs (N/V, confusion, pruritus, metallic taste in mouth, fatigue, anorexia)

21
Q

AKI diagnosis is based on

A

serum creatinine and urine output

22
Q

State 1 AKI

A

1.5-1.9x baseline creatinine, urine output <0.5L for 6-12 hours

23
Q

Stage 2 AKI

A

2-2.9x baseline creatinine, UO < 0.5ml for >12 hours

24
Q

Stage 3 AKI

A

3x baseline Cr, UO < 0.3 for >24 hours

25
Q

Major risk factors for AKI

A

old age, proteinuria, CKD, HTN, DM, CVD, exposures to nephrotoxins, cardiac surgery, fluid overload, sepsis

26
Q

Etiology of AKI

A

drugs (NSAIDs, abx, PPIs), infections, autoimmune disorders

27
Q

Complications of AKI

A

Development of CKD, progression of CKD, ESRD, CVD

28
Q

Clinical presentations of AKI

A

pericardial friction rub, uremia, foamy urine, decreased UO, HTN, edema

29
Q

Common diagnostic test for AKI

A

UA with microscopy, Urine albumin/Cr ratio, renal U/S

30
Q

Renal tubular epithelial cells, transitional epithelial cells are indicative of

A

acute tubular necrosis

31
Q

WBC, WBC cast or urine eosinophil are indicative of

A

acute interstitial nephritis

32
Q

dysmorphic RBCs, RBC casts are indicative of

A

vasculitis, glomerulonephritis

33
Q

proteinuria, hematuria, dysmorphic RBC and RBC casts are indicative of

A

nephritic syndrome

34
Q

heavy proteinuria, lipiduria, minimal hematuria are indicative of

A

nephrotic syndrome

35
Q

hyaline cast indicative of

A

prerenal azotemia

36
Q

WBC, RBC, bacteria indicative of

A

UTI

37
Q

Definition of anuria

A

<50 to 100 ml/day

38
Q

Definition of oliguria

A

< 400 to 500 ml/day

39
Q

Definition of polyuria

A

> 3000 ml/day

40
Q

What is the purpose of ordering a FeNa or FeUrea

A

differentiate between prerenal azotemia from intrinsic renal injury

41
Q

FeNa or FeUrea is valid in what patients?

A

Oliguric patients

42
Q

Treatment of AKI

A

dependent on etiology (prerenal needs IV, ATN needs supportive care, glomerulonephritic needs immunosupression), mostly supportive
