List causes of “pre-renal” ARF failure-all related to decreased blood flow to the kidneys Hypovolemia: dehydration, shock,
burns
Decreased cardiac output: CHF, MI, arrythmias
Renal vascular obstruction: renal artery stenosis, or renal artery blockage.

28
Direct injury to the kidneys Conditions causing direct insult to
renal tissue causing damage to nephrons
List causes of “intra renal” ARF failure:
04/21/23
29
Primary renal disease: acute glomeulonephritis and acute
pyelonephritis ATN (Acute tubular necrosis) most
common causes Result from ischemia, nephrotoxins, (such as
antibiotics), hemoglobin released from hemolyzed red blood cells, or myoglobin released from necrotic muscle cells
04/21/23
30
ATN: acute tubular necrosis of tubular cells which slough and plug tubules (nephrotoxicity, ischemia); potentially reversible
Hemolytic blood transfusion (ATN)
Trauma (crushing injuries which release myoglobin; damaged muscle tissue and blocks tubules (rhabdomylosis)(ATN)

Renal ischemia Disruption basement
membrane;destruction tubular epithelium

Serum Creatinine: end product of muscle and protein metabolism; excreted by the kidneys at a constant rate Normal = 0.6-1.3 mg/dl please change this value on
your ppt Directly related to GFR 2 X normal (2.6) = 50% nephron fx loss 10 X normal (13) = 90% nephron fx loss MORE ACCURATE INDICATOR of RENAL FUNCTION
THAN BUN BUN; Creatinine ratio Normal= 10:1 BUN Creatinine 16 1.6 12 1.2
04/21/23
41
Creatinine clearance Most accurate indicator of Renal
Function Reflects GFR Involves a 24 hr urine/serum creatinine Formula: Amount of urine creatinine X urine V serum creatinine Normal= 100-135ml/minute
04/21/23
42
A 24 hours urine for creatinine clearance is ordered for Ms. J. Which task is appropriate to delegate to the the clinical assistant?
a) instruct Ms. J to collect all urine with each voiding
b) explain the purpose of collecting a 24 hour urine

d) assess Ms. J’s urine for color, odor, sediment
04/21/23
43
Urine Specific Gravity Normal= 1.003-1.030 Will be fixed a 1.010 usually in ARF due to kidneys losing ability to concentrate urine
Serum Electrolytes 1- Serum Sodium Normal= 135-145
May be high, low, or normal High in Volume deficit (dehydration) Low due to damaged tubules not
conserving sodium
04/21/23
44
Serum Electrolytes
2- ↑ Serum K+ Normal= 3.5-5.0 meq/l
Almost always increased WHY? Kidneys excrete 80-90% of our K+ If K+> 6.0; treatment initiated to
prevent ______________________

45
Serum Electrolytes
3- ↑ Serum Phosphorus Normal= 2.8-4.5mg/dl
Phosphorus is a product of protein
breakdown excreted by the kidneys
What other process is occurring to increase serum phosphorus??? __________________
04/21/23
46
Serum Electrolytes 4 - ↓ Serum Calcium
Normal= 9.0-11.0 mg/dl
due to ↓ production of activated Vitamin D;
Vitamin D needed to absorb calcium from GI tract
What other process is occurring to decreaseserum calcium??? __________________

47
ABGs pH
Metabolic acidosis due to ability of kidneys to excrete acid metabolites
