2. How do you approach this
child?
While you are in the ER, a 3-year-old boy was brought with history
of vomiting and diarrhea for two days. He did not urinate for the last
day. He appears dry on your examination. He was unable to drink or
eat anything. You ordered IV fluids and obtained labs which show:
Lab Normal
Complete blood
count
Normal
Sodium 140 mmol/L 135–145 mmol/L
Potassium 6 mmol/L 3.5–5.0 mmol/L
Urea 12 mmol/L 1.8–6.4 mmol/L
Creatinine 150 μmol/L 44–88 μmol/L
Hyperkalemia
Uremia
Rise in creatinine (=decrease in GFR
3. ACUTE RENAL FAILURE
ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY (AKI)
Abrupt loss of kidney function
That results in
A decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
Retention of urea and other nitrogenous waste products
Dysregulation of extracellular volume and electrolytes
AKI, not ARF, defines renal dysfunction more clearly as a continuum, rather than a discrete change in renal
function
15. White Blood Cell Casts Red Blood Cell Casts
Hyaline Casts Muddy Brown Granular Casts
Waxy Casts
Fatty Casts
In which condition(s) do you see each one of these casts in the urine?
16. Pre-renal AKI vs intrinsic AKI (ATN)
Measurement Prerenal AKI Intrinsic AKI
Urine specific gravity >1.020 <1.010
Urine Na (mEq/L) <20 >40
FENa <1 percent >2 percent
17. Role of Renal Ultrasound in AKI
Delineate renal size
Survey the renal parenchyma
Diagnose urinary tract obstruction
Diagnose occlusion of the major renal vessels
Document the presence of one or two kidneys
Differentiating AKI from CKD
Typically, the kidneys in AKI are normal in size or enlarged (due to inflammation or edema), with increased
echogenicity, whereas those in CKD are frequently small and shrunken
21. INDICATIONS OF DIALYSIS IN AKI
Fluid overload unresponsive to diuretics
Hyperkalemia unresponsive to non-dialytic therapy
Hypertension unresponsive to pharmacologic therapy
Uremic encephalopathy
Pulmonary Edema
Heart failure

23. You are seeing a child for a routine physical
examination and found elevated creatinine and BUN.
How to know this process is acute or chronic?
Finding Acute kidney injury (AKI) Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Serum BUN and Cr Progressive rise in BUN and Cr Stable elevated BUN and Cr
Historical clues
Positive history for AKI etiology (eg, recent
streptococcal infection: poststreptococcal
glomerulonephritis)
History of chronic hypertension
Growth Normal growth Impaired growth
Bone status Normal bones
Evidence of renal osteodystrophy: History of fractures,
abnormal tibial torsion
Urine sediment No broad urinary casts Broad waxy urinary casts
Hematocrit Anemia usually mild Anemia usually severe
Renal ultrasound Normal or enlarged kidney size Small shrunken kidneys
AKI, not ARF, defines renal dysfunction more clearly as a continuum, rather than a discrete change in renal function
Vascular causes involve large vessels as well as microangiopathic processes
Vascular – renal vein thrombosis, renal artery obstruction, hemolytic uremic syndrome
Glomerular – acute glomerulonephritis (SLE nephritis, IgA nephropathy, MPGN)
Acute interstitial nephritis – antibiotics, PPIs, NSAIDs, diuretics
Nephrotoxins – aminoglycosides, amphotericin, chemotherapy (cisplastn, ifosfamide, methotrexate), radiocontrast
Patients with oliguria or anuria should not receive potassium or phosphorus.
Sodium intake should be restricted to 2 to 3 mEq/kg per day to prevent sodium and fluid retention with resultant hypertension.
