Acute vs Chronic Renal
Failure
Rapidly Rising Creatinine = Acute
 Kidney Size

» Small = Chronic

Renal Ultrasound
» Increased Echogenicity = Chronic

Urine Flow Rate
» Oliguric or Anuric usually = Acute
ACUTE RENAL FAILURE
CLASSIFICATION BY URINE

ANURIC
<50 CC/24 Hrs

LEAD TO ATN
CAUSES OF PRE-RENAL
AZOTEMIA
Intravascular volume depletion
 Decreased cardiac output
 Systemic vasodilation

» Antihypertensives
» Sepsis
Renal vasoconstriction
 Drugs impairing autoregulation

» Ace inhibitors
NSAID
MECHANISMIS OF PRE
RENAL ARF
POST-RENAL ACUTE RENAL
FAILURE
ACCOUNTS FOR 2-15% OF ALL ARF
 OBSTRUCTION TO URINE FLOW

» INCREASED TUBULAR PRESSURE
» VASOCONSTRICTION
– DECREASED RENAL BLOOD FLOW

MUST BE BILATERAL TO RESULT IN
ARF
» UNLESS : SINGLE KIDNEY OR PRIOR

DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH TO ARF
HISTORY
 PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
 ASSMENT OF URINE VOLUME
 URINE ANALYSIS
 BLOOD CHEMISTRY
 BLOOD AND URINE INDICES
 RADIOLOGIC STUDIES

Treatment of ARF
Hyperkalemia
Never occurs in the absence of renal
excretory problem
 Pseudohyperkalemia

» Leukocytosis
» Thrombocytosis
» Prolonged Application of Tourniquet
Hyperkalemia
Significance of urine output
 Role of increased catabolism or tissue
breakdown
 Factors affecting shift of Potassium out
of cells
 Etiololgy of the renal failure

Treatment of Hyperkalemia
Urgency
 Role of the EKG in making the decision
 Clinical setting in which it occurs
