Nephrology Acute Kidney Injury Kidney’s unable to filter waste from the blood; potentially reversible S/sx: High level of creatinine and/or reduction in urine output, fluid retention (edema, HTN), changes in LOC, uremia NI: Monitor I&O, daily weight, BP, hyperkalemia, limit sodium and fluid intake, dialysis may be needed Chronic Renal Failure Irreversible damage which causes uremia Dialysis needed to remove waste from blood Pt at risk for hyperkalemia and fluid overload NI: Restrict protein in CRF patients, monitor for fluid overload (JVD), daily weights, monitor I&O Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) Ranges >90 = normal 60-89 = mild CKD; Stage 2 30-59 = moderate CKD; Stage 3 15-29 = severe CKD; Stage 4
