Study Notes
Chronic Renal Disease
- Common causes of chronic renal disease include diabetes, hypertension, and glomerulonephritis
- Altered potassium excretion in chronic renal disease is associated with clinical manifestations such as muscle weakness, fatigue, and cardiac arrhythmias
- Impaired metabolic waste elimination in chronic renal disease can lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and changes in mental status
- Altered calcium and phosphorus levels in chronic renal disease can lead to bone disease, osteodystrophy, and calcification of soft tissues
Risk Factors and Treatment
- Common risk factors for chronic renal disease include diabetes, hypertension, family history, and obesity
- Not having a family history of kidney disease is not a common risk factor for chronic renal disease
- One treatment measure for AKI (Acute Kidney Injury) is fluid management
- Well-managed patients can avoid complications like sepsis and multi-organ failure
- Patient compliance with treatment helps in managing AKI by reducing the risk of chronic kidney disease
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
- Oliguria is defined as a urine output of less than 400ml/day in the context of acute kidney injury
- Oliguric patients with acute kidney injury have an increased risk for chronic kidney disease due to prolonged damage to the kidneys
- Intrinsic AKI causes involve direct damage to the renal system, such as acute tubular necrosis and glomerulonephritis
- Medical management can assist in the recovery of acute kidney injury by preventing further kidney damage and managing complications
- Furosemide may be used in diuretic therapy for treating fluid overload in acute kidney injury
- The most common category of causes of acute kidney injury is prerenal, which includes hypovolemia and renovascular disease
