AETIOPATHOGENESIS & MANAGEMENT OF ACUTE RENAL FAILURE
2
. Human beings are essentially big bags of water, the volume of which must be kept under tight control, to prevent us from either drying out or drowning…..
3
DEFINITION Acute renal failure (ARF) or acute kidney injury (AKI), as it is now referred to in the literature, is defined as an abrupt or rapid decline in renal filtration function. This condition is usually marked by a rise in serum creatinine concentration or azotemia (a rise in blood urea nitrogen [BUN] concentration). However, immediately after a kidney injury, BUN or creatinine levels may be normal, and the only sign of a kidney injury may be decreased urine production
4
‘ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY’ Abrupt reduction [<48 hrs] in kidney function, defined as an absolute increase in S creatinine of ≥0.3 mg/dL A percentage increase in S creatinine of ≥ 50% [1.5 fold from baseline] or a reduction in urine output-- documented oliguria of < 0.5 ml/kg/hr, for more than six hours.
5
STAGING SYSTEM FOR A.K.I. STAGES.CREATININE CRITERIA URINE OUTPUT CRITERIA 1INCREASE IN S.CREATININE ≥0.3mg/dL OR INCREASE TO ≥ 150- 200% FROM BASELINE 6HRS 2INCREASE IN S.CREATININE TO >200- 300%[2-3 FOLD] FROM BASELINE 12 HRS 3INCREASE IN S. CREATININE TO >300%[>3 FOLD] FROM BASELINE OR S.CREATININE OF ≥4mg/dL WITH AN ACUTE INCREASE OF ATLEAST 0.5 mg/dL <0.3ml/kg/hr FOR 24 HRS OR ANURIA FOR 12 HRS
6
RIFLE Classification System
7
Risk factors Baseline renal insufficiency DMCHF Large volume of contrast NSAIDs or ACEI Volume depletion
8
CLASSIFICATION PRERENAL ARFINTRINSIC ARFPOSTRENAL ARF
9
PRERENAL ARF as an adaptive response to severe volume depletion and hypotension, with structurally intact nephrons GFR is reduced as a result of hemodynamic disturbances that decrease glomerular perfusion.
10
. CAUSES-PRERENAL ARF HYPOVOLEMIA >HEMORRHAGE >G-I LOSSES >DECREASED INTAKE >URINARY LOSSES >SKIN LOSSES >OTHERS:BURNS,PANCREATITIS,SEVERE HYPOALBUMINEMIA
11
INTRINSIC ARF The so called diuretic phase… Recovery phase Filtration recovers early Recovery of epithelial function lags behind
12
CAUSES ISCHEMIA >MAJOR CARDIOVASCULAR >TRAUMA >HEMORRHAGE >HYPOVOLEMIA TOXINS Exogenous: Antibiotics-Aminoglycosides,Chemotherapeutic agents-Cisplatin, Endogenous: myoglobin,hemoglobin,calcium,bilirubinSEPSIS INTERSTITIUM Allergic: Antibiotics : b-lactam,quinolone, rifampin NSAIDs B/L pyelonephritis INTRATUBULAR OBSTRUCTION acyclovir, methotrexate, indinavir, myeloma proteins
13
POSTRENAL ARF Obstruction is always the most likely cause when there is anuria Bladder neck obstruction
14
When the insult cross the limits…. Compensatory mechanisms overwhelmed renal perfusion decrease GFR fall Decreased O2 delivery needs to decrease its work decrease filtration oliguria Increased Na reabsorption = more work by medulla blood flow towards medulla,i.e. away from cortex GFR decrease oliguria “acute renal success”
15
Clinical features
16
Pre renal vomiting, diarrhoea Intestinal obstruction…. Look for Thirst Reduced JVP Decreased skin turgor Dry mucus membrane
17
Intrinsic renal oliguria,edema,hypertension Intake of nephrotoxic drugs atrial fibrillation
18
Post renal Anuria Flank pain
19
INVESTIGATIONS
20
Laboratorium Urine microscopic Assessment GFR Radiology (Abdominal USG, Pyelography, MRA)
21
Assessment of GFR
22
Blood urea 15-40mg/dL Increased in dehydration, post G-I bleed
23
Serum creatinine Normal: <1.5 mg/dL Rise by 1-2 mg/dL in ARF
24
Creatinine clearance Volume of plasma cleared off creatinine per unit time Earlier warnings, 2hr samples / [140-age] x body wt / S.Creatinine x 72 91-130 ml / min
25
INTERVENTION Hemodynamic &urinary output monitoring Aggressive fluid loading Adequate oxygenation Pharmacologic strategies Renal replacement therapy
26
Hemodynamic &urinary output monitoring Blood pressure CVP PAWP Urine output ensure catheter is not compressed ensure good urine flow from start monitor output hourly ensure output >1ml/kg/hr
27
Aggressive fluid loading Trauma Compartment syndrome Limb revascularization ….high chance for rhabdomyolysis
28
Pharmacologic strategies
29
Mannitol Improve urinary flow Pulmonary edema, intra renal vasoconstriction, Aortic surgeries, Renal transplantation, CABG 6.25-12.5g is given 15 mins prior to the defined insult / repeated 4-6 hrs 24 hr cumulative dose not >1.5 mg/kg
30
Furosemide Renal vasodilation Shouldn’t be given if pt is not adequately fluid loaded 2-10 mg/kg for converting oliguric to non oliguric renal failure Continuous infusion 1-10mg/hr after a LD of 10- 20mg
31
others Metabolic acidosis: NaHCO3 to keep its level >15mmol/L or pH >7.2 Hyperphosphatemia :Ca carbonate, Al(OH)3 Hypocalcemia :Ca gluconate, CaCl2 Nutrition : Because potassium and phosphorus are not excreted optimally in patients with AKI, blood levels of these electrolytes tend to be high. Frequent measurements are mandatory to initiate early treatment and avoid complications. In the polyuric phase of AKI, potassium and phosphorus may be depleted and patients require dietary supplementation and intravenous replacement. Calculation of the nitrogen balance can be challenging, especially in the presence of volume contraction, hypercatabolic states, gastrointestinal bleeding, and diarrheal disease. Critically ill patients should receive at least 1 g/kg/day protein intake but should avoid hyperalimentation, which can lead to elevated BUN level and water loss resulting in hypernatremia.
32
Renal replacement therapy
33
Criteria for initiation of RRT Anuria Oliguria Pulmonary edema Hyperkalemia >6.5mmol/L Ureum > 200 mg % Overhydrasi
34
hemodialysis Intermittent HD: 3-4hrs per day,3-4 times per week Slow Low Efficiency Dialysis ^-12 hrs per day
35
peritoneal dialysis Less effective than HD Useful if HD not available Impossible to attain vascular access Hemodynamically unstable No anticoagulation is needed
36
Peritoneal dialysis Access via a peritoneal catheter Allowed to dwell for a short period of time [2-4hrs]
