Uremia or Uremic syndrome ARF (hours to days) RPRF(days to weeks) CRF (months to years)
Slide4ARF
Acute
kidney injury (AKI) or Acute renal failure (ARF)
Abrupt decrease of renal function sufficient to result in: Retention of nitrogenous waste products loss of regulation of extracellular volume and electrolytes Rapid deterioration of renal function (increase of serum cr of >0.3-0.5 mg/dl in <48-72hrs or a percentage increase of >50%)Decreased urine output(<0.5 ml/kg/hr for >6hr) (usually but not always) Oliguria: <400 ml urine output in 24 hours Anuria: <100 ml urine output in 24 hours
Slide5Definition of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) based on “Acute Kidney Injury Network”

Slide9Mortality
Dialysis requiring = 40-90%
Increased mortality even in patients not requiring dialysis
25% increase in creatinine associated with a mortality rate of 31% compared with 8% for matched patients without renal failure
Slide10Non-Oliguric vs. Oliguric vs. Anuric
Oliguric renal failure.
Functionally, urine output less than that required to maintain solute balance (can’t excrete all solute taken in).
Defined as urine output < 400ml/24hr.
Anuric renal failure.
Defined as urine output < 100ml/24hr.
Less common – suggests complete obstruction, major vascular catastrophy, or more commonly severe ATN.
Slide11Non-Oliguric vs. Oliguric vs. Anuric
Classifying by urine output may help establish a cause.
Oliguria – more common with obstruction, prerenal azotemia
Nonoliguric – intrarenal causes – nephrotoxic ATN, acute GN, AIN.
More importantly, assists in prognosis.
Significantly higher mortality with oliguric renal failure.
80% vs. 25% mortality in Oliguric vs. non-oliguric ARF
Nonoliguric renal failure may also suggest greater liklihood of recovery of function.

Slide20AKI: Diagnostic studies-urine
Urinalysis for sediment, casts
Response to volume repletion with return to baseline SCr 24-72 hr c/w prerenal event
Urine Na; FENa
FENa (%) =
UNa x SCr

> 20:1 – suggest prerenal or obstruction.
Can be elevated by anything leading to increased urea production/absorption.
GI bleed
TPN
Steroids
Drugs – Tetracycline.
Creatinine in anephric state typically only rises 1mg/dl/day.
If greater – should be concerned for rhabdomyolysis

Slide61Diagnostic Studies
CBC
Urinalysis
Hansel stain
Renal ultrasound
Gallium scan
Gold standard is renal biopsy.
Indications are:
Uncertainty of diagnosis
Advanced RF
Lack of spontaneous recovery after cessation of offending drug
If
immunosupressive
therapy is considered
Slide62Treatment of AIN
Discontinue offending agent!!
Most cases improve spontaneously
Prednisone (1mg/kg/day) for minimum of 1-2 weeks
Much less commonly used
Mycophenylate
mofetil
Cyclosporine
Cyclophosphamide
Slide63Heme pigment-induced acute tubular necrosis
Myoglobinuria: rhabdomyolysis.
Hemoglobinuria: intravascular hemolysis.
Slide64Heme pigment-induced acute tubular necrosis
The urine may have a low FENa despite tubular injury.
Positive dipstick test for heme pigment without red blood cells on microscopic exam should suggest myoglobinuria or hemoglobinuria.
Heme-pigmented granular casts.
Plasma is normal color in myoglobinuria and red brown in hemoglobinuria.

ARF
Slide68Hemolysis
Transfusion reactions due to ABO incompatible blood are probably the most frequently encountered hemolytic processes that can lead to acute renal failure.
Severe acute hemolytic episodes in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.

Low trough levels do not guard against nephrotoxicity
Incidence of ATN
10% after 1 week
40% after 2 weeks
Risk factors for ATN
Advanced age - Superimposed sepsis
Liver disease - Hypotension

Risk factors:
Renal insufficiency - Diabetes
Advanced age - > 125 ml contrast
Hypotension
Usually non-oliguric ARF; irreversible ARF rare
Slide73Contrast Induced Nephropathy(CIN)
Assess CIN risk
eGFR <30 – Hospital admission, Nephrology consult, Dialysis planning, renal protection
eGFR 30-59 – Discontinue NSAIDs, IV volume expansion, Intra-arterial: isoosmolar, Intra-venous: iso-osmolar or low osmolar contrast; limit contrast volume
eGFR >60, Discontinue metformin
Optimal Volume Status
Low-osmolality contrast media
F/U Creatinine 24 – 72hr after contrast exposure
Adequate IV volume expansion with isotonic crystalloid for 3 – 12hr before the procedure and continue for 6 – 24hr afterward. Oral fluid data is insufficient
No adjunctive medical or mechanical treatment has been proved to be efficacious
Prophylactic hemodialysis and hemofiltration not validated

Slide112Can We Prevent AKI?
The best approach to post-ischemic ATN is to prevent its development. 1. Identify persons at high risk for AKI, such as:CKDAtherosclerosisDMAdvanced malignancyPoor nutrition
Slide113Can We Prevent AKI?
2. Identify settings in which patients are subjected to procedures that may induce post-ischemic ATN:Major surgery particularly:Cardiac surgeryAbdominal aortic aneurysm surgerySurgery to correct obstructive jaundiceSepsisMarked hypovolemiaSevere pancreatitis
Slide114Can We Prevent AKI?
In patients at increased risk or early in the ischemic phase non-pharmacologic interventions are suggested, including:Optimizing volume status with IV fluidsMaintenance of adequate hemodynamic status to ensure renal perfusionAvoidance of further injury by removing or decreasing the effect of any nephrotoxins

Clinical Outcomes:No effect on mortalityNo effect on the need for or incidence of RRTRenal Physiologic Outcomes:Diuretic effect and increased cr clearance on the first day which was not significant on the following days.Adverse effect:on the immune, respiratory, and endocrine system.
Slide122Potential risks associated with even low dose dopamine
TachycardiaArrhythmias (particularly among cardiac surgery patients)Myocardial ischemiaIntestinal ischemia (due to precapillary vasoconstriction)
Slide123Is there a role for Fenoldepam in prevention of AKI?
Dop-1 receptor agonist, lack of Dop-2, and a-1 receptor effect, make it a potentially safer drug than Dopamine!Reduces in hospital mortality and the need for RRT in AKIReverses renal hypoperfusion more effectively than renal dose DopamineSo far so good specially in cardiothoracic ICU patients
Slide124Is there a role for ANP in prevention of AKI?
ANP is a 28 AA polypeptide synthesized in cardiac atrial muscle.ANP augments GFR by:Afferent arteriolar vasodilatationInhibit the RASInhibits Na transport & lowers oxygen requirements in several nephrone segments ANP analog: Anaritide
Slide125Is there a role for ANP in prevention of AKI?
ANP may be associated with improved outcomes when used in low doses for preventing AKI and in managing postsurgery AKI. There were no significant adverse events in the prevention studies, however in the high dose ANP treatment studies there were significant increases hypotension and arrhythmias.
Slide126Adenosine Antagonists (Theophylline)
Adenosine, in contrast to its general systemic effect as a vasodilator, is a renal arterial vasoconstrictor.Increases afferent arteriolar tone in response to increased distal tubular solute delivery. Acts synergistically with Ang II to constrict afferent arterioles.Possible mediator of the intrarenal hemodynamic changes that lead to ATN following radiocontrast administration.
Slide127Adenosine Antagonists (Theophylline)
Patients who received theophylline had a smaller increase in serum cr . It remains unclear if theophylline might be useful preventing contrast nephropathy in some patients.
Slide128Mannitol
Currently no evidence of protective effectCauses an osmotic diuresis with may benefit fluid balanceIncreasing flow through tubules, preventing obstructionOsmotic action, decreasing endothelial swellingDecreased blood viscosity with increased renal perfusion (???)Free radical scavenging
