Acute kidney injury
Vivian Phan
Acute kidney injury = Acute renal failure
A sudden (within 48h) deterioration in renal function, that is potentially reversible
Absolute increase in:- ↑SCr ≥ 0.3 mg/dL (26.4 micromol/L) from baseline- ↑SCr ≥ 50% - Oliguria < 0.5 mL/kg/h for > 6h
RIFLE criteria
Creatinine GFR Urine
Risk 1.5x ↑ ↓ 25% <0.5ml/kg for 6h
Injury 2x ↑ ↓ 50% <0.5ml/kg for 12h
Failure 3x ↑ ↓ 75% <0.5ml/kg for 24h or anuria for 12h
Loss Need for RRT for >4 weeks
ESRD Need for RRT for >3 months
Crit Care 2004; 8:R204.
AKI: KDIGO Classification
Stage SCr criteria UOP criteria (duration of oliguria)
Stage 1 increase ≥ 26 μmol/L within 48hrs or increase ≥ 1.5 - 1.9 BL
<0.5 mL/kg/hr for > 6 consecutive hrs
Stage 2 increase ≥ 2 - 2.9 BL <0.5 mL/kg/ hr for > 12 hrs
Stage 3 Increase ≥3 BL or increase ≥ 354 μmol/L or commenced on RRT
<0.3 mL/kg/ hr for > 24 hrs or anuria for 12 hrs
SCr and UOP remains the best biomarkers for AKI (RA, AKI Guidelines 03.2011)
Stage 1 = AKIN/ (KDIGO) definition of AKI
Causes
Pre-renal failure – Hypoperfusion
Intrinsic renal failure – Many causes– Acute tubular necrosis
Post-renal failure – Obstruction
Pre-renal causes
Renal hypoperfusionSystemic hypotension
- Hypovolaemia, hypotension (bleeding, dehydration)- Sepsis- Anaphylatic shock
Local = hypoperfusion of the gromerulus- Renal artery stenosis (reduced gromerular pressure)- Drugs: ACE inhibitors, NSAIDs
Intrinsic renal causes
Primary renal disease– Glomerulonephritis– Interstitial nephritis – usually caused by drugs e.g.
NSAIDs, GentamicinSecondary renal disease
– Diabetes, SLE, myeloma, etc.Secondary ATN (acute tubular necrosis)
– Established after pre-renal injury
Post-renal causes
ObstructionIntrinsic- Urinary tumours e.g. RCC- Stones
Extrinsic- Pelvic tumours (prostate, cervix, ovaries)- TB strictures- Retroperitoneal tumours & fibrosis
Investigations• History & examination
– Rate of onset, urinary symptoms, PMH, DH– Fluid status, signs of sepsis
• Bedside– Urine tests: dipstick, MSU, ACR/PCR– Urine output– ECG: K+, arrhythmia
• Bloods– Kidney function: U+E, Creat, GFR– Markers of CKD: Ca, PO4, PTH, HCO3
• Imaging– USS – if find problems -> CT KUB, biopsy– CXR to monitor fluid overload
Treatment• Treat underlying cause• Generic AKI management
– Pre-renal: IV fluids– Intrinsic: Treat medically– Post-renal: Relieve obstruction
• Percutaneous nephrostomy (drain pus/urine from kidneys)• Stents: antegrade (kidneys to bladder) vs retrograde
(bladder to kidneys)
• Monitor: EWS (early warning score)– BP, pulse, sats, U+E, weight (= fluid level)– Fluid input vs output
Hyperkalaemia: K+ > 6mmol/L• Very common complication of AKI• ECG changes (in this sequence)
– Peaked “tented” T waves– Prolonged P-R interval– Prolonged QRS duration– Loss of P waves– VF/asystole
• Treatment (at once!)– Stabilise myocardium: Ca Gluconate– Shift K+ into cells: IV Insulin+Dextrose, Salbutamol
nebuliser, NaHCO3 if acidotic– Diuresis, Ca Resonium, (RRT/Dialysis)
Indications for RRTStarting RRT is a clinical decision RA Guidelines, AKI, 03.2011:AKI and the AEIOU
o Acidaemia (PH <7.1) when correction would cause fluid overload
o Electrolyte abnormalities e.g. K > 7o Intoxication with certain substances (salicylic acid, lithium,
etc.)o Overload of fluid when diuretics are of no useo Uraemic effects: seizure and coma (encephalopathy);
Pericardititis
