AKI VS CKD
FRACP course 2015
OVERVIEW
 How to tell the difference between acute and chronic
kidney disease for exam purposes
 How to work out whether is it glomerular or tubular and
what the cause is
 Some background info time permitting
SOME DEFINITIONS
 Chronic Kidney Disease ( chronic renal failure)
 Loss of renal function over a prolonged time
 This means that there is time for impact on growth,
bones ( aka CKD – MBD or renal osteodystrophy) and
anaemia.
 So look for words like short, pale, bones as clues
WHAT’S A GFR
CKD STAGES
Stage GFR
(ml/min/1.73m

Description Impact
1 90+ Normal function but known
structural or persistent urine
abnormalities
Little
2 60‐89 Mildly reduced function As above + estimate rate progression – start to
monitor for biochemical abnormalities and
growth
3 30‐59 Moderately reduced
function
Monitor CKD‐ MBD, growth, anaemia,
appetite, cardiovascular
4 15‐29 Severely reduced
function
Symptoms become more severe
5 <15 or
dialysis

MECHANISM OF PROGRESSIVE CKD
CAUSES OF PAEDIATRIC CKD
NON‐GLOMERULAR
 Hypoplasia/dysplasia
 Ciliopathies
 Nephronopthisis
 Obstructive uropathy
 PUV
 Prune Belly
 Neurogenic bladder

 FSGS
 Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome
 Chronic GNs – SLE, MPGN, HSP, IgA,
membranous
 Alport
 HUS
 Cortical necrosis
DIAGNOSTIC CLUES FOR TYPES OF CKD
 Glomerular disease – loss of (
sclerosis) and damage to
glomeruli lead to retention of salt
and water, raised renin and loss
of blood and protein in the urine
 So words that should make you
think of a glomerular cause
include
 oliguria,
 haematuria/proteinuria,
 hypertension (increased extra
cellular fluid and and increased
renin)
 Chronic tubular/tubulointerstitial
diseases – concentrating defect
so loss of salt and water
 May have proteinuria ( not all
protein is albumin but much less
likely to have haematuria)
 May be resistance to ADH, may
also have other electrolyte losses
 So words that suggest a non
glomerular cause include
 polyuria& polydipsia
 enuresis / nocturia
 Always thirsty
 Loss of other electrolytes in the
urine

ON THE OTHER HAND ‐ AKI
 Acute Kidney Injury – previously known as acute renal
failure, acute kidney failure etc
 Sudden onset of loss of kidney function
 May be presented with exactly the same numbers for
renal function but…
 No time for impact on growth, bone
CLINICAL CONTINUUM OF AKI
Devarajan, Biomarkers Med 4:265‐80, 2010
ALSO STAGED – RIFLE CRITERIA WHO GETS AKI
FOR EXAM PURPOSES
 HUS

CLINICAL FEATURES
 Uraemia
 Hypervolaemia ( glomerular) /hypovolaemia ( tubular)
 Hypertension/ hypotension due in part to the above
 High Potassium, High P04, low Ca, high magnesium or low if tubular
 Metabolic acidosis

electrolyte loss
 Increased anion gap (Na – (Chl+HCO3))
AKI VS CKD

Tonya Kara
PRERENAL AKI
 Decreased perfusion to the kidneys, and as a
consequence a reduction in GFR:
 True volume depletion :bleeding, intestinal/cutaneous loss
 Effective renal hypoperfusion :decreased arterial pressure ‐
heart failure or septic shock or cirrhosis
RENAL
 Affects renal parenchyma
 Vascular e.g. RVT, TTP, HUS
 Glomerular e.g. Post infectious GN, HSP, anti GBM.
 Interstitial e.g. pyelonephritis, NSAIDs, diuretics
 Tubular e.g. ATN, aminoglycosides. Aciclovir, tumour
lysis
POST RENAL
 Affects the drainage of the kidney:
 Stones
 Bladder outlet obstruction
 Trauma/clots
 Tumours
 Sometimes comes up as a question about post obstructive
polyuria
ACUTE
Urine osmolality
Urine Na (mmol/l)

HUS
 Triad: haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia and AKI
 Categories:
 Typical: usually diarrhoea positive
 Atypical: usually diarrhoea negative
 Pneumococcal
 Complement disorders ( low C3)
TYPICAL HUS
 Represents 90% HUS childhood
 Mainly <3 yo
 Serotype ecoli 0157:h7 most frequent
 Bloody diarrhea can be complicated by rectal prolapse
intussusception, colitis, perforation
 Extrarenal: CNS 20%
 Seizures
 Cranial nerve palsy
 cerebral oedema
 coma
 Aki 1‐14 days after diarrhea

HUS FOR THE FRACP
 History of bloody diarrhoea
 Full blood count – Hb low, WCC
up(Neutrophilia – predictor of
disease severity) Plt low
 Haemolysis screen‐
 reticulocyte count, ‐ up
 LDH, ‐ up
 Bilirubin, ‐ up
 haptoglobin ‐ down
 PT/APTT/ ‐ normal
 Fibrinogen ‐ up
 U&Es – UP!!
 Blood film – fragments,
schistocytes
ACUTE GLOMERULONEPHRITIS
 Retention of salt and water leading to hypertension, doe
and oliguria
 Urine contains blood and protein
 Frequently have low Hb due to fluid retention, high urea
in relation to creatinine
 My quick and dirty guide to telling them apart for exam

THINKING RHABDOMAYOLYSIS?
 Typical history of exercise followed by bright red urine +/
‐ minus muscle pain
 Tests to confirm:
 The dipstick tests +ve for blood but no haematuria on
microscopy
 Urine and serum myoglobin up
 Very high CK
INTERSTITIAL NEPHRITIS
 Often drug related, can also be autoimmune with
associated uveitis
 Polyuria
 Tired, generally not right
 Generalised tubular dysfunction including glycosuria,
loss of electrolytes, tubular proteinuria
 Important differential is nephropthisis – remember
growth
RECAP ‐CLUES TO ACUTE V CHRONIC
 Think about things associated with renal disease
 Growth parameters
 Anaemia
 Bones
 With little blood or protein in the urine think about tubular
disease
 You can usually work out a GN from the story
 Imaging
 Small kidneys usually chronic structural disease.
 Large echogenic kidneys – acute disease – GNs or ARF.

Proteinuria
CKD ESKD
Haematuria
CKD‐ MBD – METABOLIC BONE
DISEASE
 Reduced PO4 excretion, decreased
1,25‐OH VitD3 production n and often
low 25‐OH Vit D contribute to raised
PTH
 Abnormal osteoblast and clast activity
subperiosteal bone resorption, rickets,
slipped epiphyses
OTHER ISSUES
 Anaemia
 Reduced erythropoietin production by kidney
 Fe deficiency, ineffective utilisation of Fe
 Hyperparathyroidism can suppress RBC production
 Shortened RBC lifespan
 Significant anaemia occurs when GFR<25ml/min/1.73m2 but EPO production is already
reduced at 35‐40ml/min/1.73m2
 Tx anaemia reduces progression ‐ ? via decr oxidative stress causing tubular damage and
interstitial fibrosis
 ESAs improve cardiac fn, physical exercise tolerance, school attendance, appetite,
cognitive function
 Acidosis
 d/t retained anions, tubular dysfunction
 Increases protein catabolism, impairs GH release, accelerates CKD progression
 Tx if persistently <20mmol/L

 AKI can result in chronic proteinuria
 Proteinuria is CKD, and untreated will progress
 CKD affects much more than the kidney
 Advanced disease is under recognised
 Overall mortality higher than ALL
 Good luck for your exam
