PRE RENAL
Not relatedto damage or issue
in kidney itself
Majorly due to fall in Glomerular
Filtration Rate
Can be due to:
Hypovolemia
Reduced cardiac output
Decreased effective
Circulatory volume

LOSS OF FLUID

ARTERY
Major hemorrhage
Vomiting
Diarrhoea
Severe burns
Distributive shock
Congestive heart failure
Renal artery stenosis
Embolus
7.
GFR falls
RAAS
Sodium andwater reabsorption
Urea reabsorption along with it
Blood urea levels rise
Blood urea : creatinine > 20
(normal range 5-20:1)
8.
CREATININE
A significant risein serum creatinine levels is
observed
Reason?
It is only filtered
no reabsorption or secretion in renal tubules
occur.
Thus, fall in GFR results in decreased excretion of
creatinine thus rise in serum creatinine levels
Jeffe’s reaction is used to test the serum
creatinine levels
(normal range- males 0.7-1.4 mg/dl
females 0.6-1.2 mg/dl)
TREATMENT
Treatment is donebased on cause
1.Hypovolemia
IV fluids
Blood transfusion
2. Vasodilation
Vasopressers like norepinephrin
IV fluids in early sepsis
