Case 1 Dehydration
A four month-old infant presents to her pediatrician with a four to five day history of low grade fever (38-38.5oC), numerous watery diarrhea and decreased activity.
Since the child refused to take her usual breast milk volume or solid foods, the mother and grandmother substituted non-carbonated soda (Coca-cola, ginger ale, apple juice or orange juice will have ~550-700 mOsm/kg H2O) with less than 5 mEq/L of sodium), and “sweet” (sugar added) iced tea.
Over the last 12 hours there were a few episodes of emesis and there were less wet diapers.
March 17, 2005
On examination the child was lethargic, dry mucous membranes, no tears, sunken eyeballs, and reduced skin
turgor.
Vitals signs were the following: Blood pressure 74/43 mmHg; Temperature of 38oC, respiratory rate of 36 per minute and
pulse of 175 beats per minute. The weight was 6 kg. Weight at the time of her immunization 7 days ago was 6.6 kg.
There were no other significant findings.
With the magnitude of dehydration and lethargy, the decision by the clinician was to initiate parenteral fluid replacement
rather than oral rehydration therapy. The child was admitted to the hospital with diagnosis of dehydration. On admission the
laboratory studies were as follows:
March 17, 2005
Sodium 124 mEq/L, chloride 94 mEq/L, potassium 4 mEq/L bicarbonate (or total COs) was 12 mEq/L, serum creatinine 0.8 mg/dL blood urea nitrogen 40 mg/dL, blood glucose 70 mg/dL;
complete blood count was normal except for a hemocrit of 38%
Urinalysis/ chemistries: specific gravity of 1.030, trace protein, no blood or glucose, small ketones; urine creatinine 40
mg/dL and sodium 15 mEq/L;
Fractional excretion of sodium (FENa)( [urine sodium x serum creatinine]/ [serum sodium x urine
creatinine] x 100%) = ([15 mEq/L x 0.8 mg/dL] / [129 mEq/L x 40 mg/dL]) = 0.23%
Normal values for FENa = ~ 1-2%; decreased renal perfusion (dehydration, decreased intravascular volume) < 1%
March 17, 2005
Hyponatremia
• Serum [Na+] < 130 mEq/L• Water shifts into cells – lower ECF volume• <125 mEq/L – nausea and malaise• < 120 mEq/L – headache, lethargy, • <115 mEq/L – seizure and coma

Question 1: What is the appropriate parenteral solution
A. 5% dextrose + 0.45% isotonic saline + 40 mEq KCl /L
B. 0.45% isotonic saline + 40 mEq KCl /L
C. 0.9% isotonic saline + 40 mEq KCl /L
D. 5% dextrose + 40 mEq KCl /L
E. 5% dextrose + 0.2% isotonic saline
March 17, 2005
Assessment
The information suggest hyponatremic dehydration secondary to extrarenal losses from diarrhea with administration by the family of hypotonic or dilute fluids.
The child has lost proportionally more sodium than water or a relatively hypertonic fluid loss. The result is a lower extracellular fluid osmolality compared to the intracellular fluid osmolality. The magnitude of the dehydration is about 10% or moderate to severe. The pre-illness weight was 6.6 kg with a current weight of 6 kg or a 0.6 kg loss over the last week.
March 17, 2005
Oral RehydrationThe decision by the clinician was to initiate
parenteral fluid replacement rather than oral rehydration therapy. The relative contraindications for oral rehydration therapy would include a young infant less than 3-4 months of age, the presence of impending shock or markedly impaired perfusion (increased capillary refill time/decreased skin turgor), inability to consume oral fluids due to intractable vomiting, marked irritability or lethargy/unresponsiveness or the judgment of the clinician.
March 17, 2005
Therapeutic Plan 1 Volume, Deficit, Electrolyte Calculations
Phases emergent or acute phase – isotonic fluid infusion
over about one hour; replacement phase – over 24 hrs unless there are
on-going losses which are not replaced adequately in the first day of treatment;
maintenance phase- day 2 continuing to home management.
March 17, 2005
Emergent PhaseEmergent or acute phase • Over about one hour - reestablish circulatory volume to prevent
prolonged loss of perfusion to the key organs such as kidney, brain, gastrointestinal tract, etc.
• Fluid choices would be isotonic (0.9%) saline (normal saline) or another isotonic /hypertonic solution such as 5% albumin, Ringer’s lactate, or a plasma preparation.
With the availability of isotonic saline, this is the usual fluid choice. Weight (kg) x fluid bolus of 20 mL/kg over 30 -60 minutes.
(If the patient was in shock fluid delivery more rapid infusion to prevent organ failure.)
6 kg x 20 mL = 120 mL over 30-60 minutes.only replaces 20% of the losses [total losses 600 ml]

Gastrointestinal losses tend to resolve or decrease significantly following IV therapy. If it does continue these losses will need to be added to the ongoing
loss
For each liter of IV solution there would be 43 mEq / 0.58 L = ~75 mEq Per LiterFluid selection – 5% dextrose + 0.45% isotonic saline + 40 mEq KCl /L
Potassium concentration is ~ 30- 40 mEq/L (it should not exceed 40 mEq/L without close
intensive care monitoring). Some recommend 20-25 mEq/L - potassium stores will be replenished when the
child restart oral feeds.
The 5% dextrose provides 50 grams of carbohydrate per liter of 50 grams x ~ 4 calories per gram = 200 calories. This would be about 20% of the daily caloric intake which is sufficient to prevent protein breakdown over a short treatment
period (less than one week).
Closing thoughts

Case 2
A ten month-old infant presents to the pediatric emergency room with a generalized tonic clonic seizure. The child had a fever to 39-400C for the past 24-36 hours, lethargy, vomiting, decreased
oral intake, less wet diapers. The child did not receive Prevnar (pneumococcal vaccine).
On exam - ill and irritable resisting any movement, VS: BP 94/58mmHg; Temperature of 39oC, respiratory rate of 40; pulse 175 beats. The weight 10 kg. There were no focal neurological
findings. The impression was meningitis, probable pneumococcal and hyponatremia.
March 17, 2005
On admission labs: Sodium 126 mEq/L, chloride 95 mEq/L, potassium 4 mEq/L
Bicarbonate (or total COs) 19 mEq/L Serum creatinine 0.3 mg/dL blood urea nitrogen 6 mg/dL, uric acid of 2.4 mg/dL, blood glucose 85 mg/dL; WBC 26,000 /mm3 with 255 immature cells (bands). LP protein 140 mg/dL, glucose 30 mg/dL and 2000 leukocytes /mm3 with more than 80% PMNs. Blood and urine culture pending. Serum osmolality 262 mOsm/kg
[2 x serum sodium + glucose/18 + BUN/1.8 = 252 + 5 + 4 = 261].
Urinalysis/ chemistries: specific gravity of 1.018 (estimated osmolality = 720 mOsm/kg), no blood, protein or glucose, small ketones; urine sodium 100 mEq/L, urine creatinine 15 mg/dL; fractional sodium excretion (FENa) – 1.6 %

Causes of SIADH
March 17, 2005
Criteria
1) Hypotonic hyponatremia. 2) Inappropriate urine osmolality compared to plasma osmolality. In patients with an medical condition associated with the occurrence of SIADH, a urine osmolality greater than maximal dilution (75-125 mosm/L) and a low plasma osmolality is “inappropriate” to state of water balance. 3) Absence of thyroid, adrenal, cardiac, or renal disease. 4) Absence of volume contraction. 5) High urinary sodium concentration (increased FENa).
March 17, 2005
Information suggest meningitis with SIADH.
Neurological findings with hyponatremia suggests this diagnosis. No evidence of volume depletion or expansion/excess of the extracellular fluid compartment. Hyponatremia with a decreased serum osmolality (effective osmolality/tonicity) with a urine osmolality which is not maximally dilute (< ~125 mOsm/kg) without evidence of renal, thyroid or adrenal disease is consistent with SIADH.
Additional info: low serum uric acid and BUN in the face of clinical euvolemia, elevated FENa (> 1%) – inconsistent with hypovolemia when the FENa should be < 1%, lack of evidence of diuretic use, pseudohyponatremia (secondary to increased plasma proteins or lipids) or hypertonic hyponatremia (hyperglycemia or mannitol infusions).
March 17, 2005
KEY POINTS ON SIADH• SIADH will not resolve until the underlying disease process has significantly
improved or resolved (treatment of meningitis will not be discussed).
The approach is a multi-step process.
• Assess - Acute presentation (neurological manifestations such as coma, encephalopathy, seizures).
If symptomatic presentation - increase the serum sodium concentration / serum osmolality.
• Increase the serum sodium by 10 mEq/L or the serum osmolality by 20 mOsm/kg (10 mOsm from sodium and 10 mOsm from chloride) with the use of hypertonic or 3% saline (513 mEq/L of sodium or ~ 0.5 mEq/mL).
• Regardless of the approach, when the symptoms are improved the 3% infusion should be discontinued.
March 17, 2005
For sodium correction = 10 mEq/kg Na x body weight (BW) x 0.6 (distribution factor for sodium) = 6 BW = # of mEq to be infused.
Since there is 0.5 mEq Na/mL or 1 mEq per 2 mL, the amount of 3% saline to be infused over about 60-90 minutes would be 2mL/mEq
x 6 mEq X BW = 12 BW.
If the symptoms are absent or mild – asymptomatic presentation, lower infusion rate of 0.5 to 2 mL per kg of body weight may be used which
will increase the serum sodium from 0.5-2 mEq/L per hour. Some select isotonic saline in asymptomatic patients for patients with a serum sodium
above 123-125 mEq/L. IN EITHER CASE, the serum sodium should be monitored every 2-3
hours to prevent overcorrection of the serum sodium concentration.
The maximum serum Na correction per 24 hours should not exceed 10 mEq/L (some clinicians limit the increase to 8 mEq/L per 24 hours).
March 17, 2005
Case 3A six month-old infant presents to her pediatrician in December with a four day history of fever (up to 40oC), along with mild upper respiratory symptoms. On the evening and night prior to presentation she began
to have diarrhea and emesis with cessation of formula and solid foods The child had a wet diaper this morning.
On exam the child appeared quiet but became irritable during the exam, mucous membranes were mildly dry, and the skin felt doughy.
Vitals signs were the following: Blood pressure 85/58 mmHg; Temperature of 39oC, respiratory rate 40 and pulse 175. Weight 7.5 kg.
A previous weight about two weeks ago was 8.4 kg. There were no other significant findings and the child appears to have good turgor
and skin elasticity.
March 17, 2005
Question 3: What is the percent of dehydration?
A. 3-5%
B. 6-9%
C. 0%
D. 10%
E. 15%
March 17, 2005
With the magnitude of dehydration, high fever and irritability, the decision by the clinician was to initiate parenteral fluid replacement rather than oral rehydration therapy. The child was admitted to the hospital with
diagnosis of dehydration.
On admission the laboratory studies were as follows: Sodium 162 mEq/L , chloride 126 mEq/L, potassium 4 mEq/L
Bicarbonate (or total CO2) was 12 mEq/L Serum creatinine 1 mg/dL, blood urea nitrogen 29 mg/dL, blood glucose 85 mg/dL; complete blood count
was normal
Urinalysis/ chemistries: specific gravity of 1.030, no blood, protein or glucose, small ketones; urine creatinine 30 mg/dL and sodium 30 mEq/L;
Fractional excretion of sodium (FENa)( [urine sodium x serum creatinine]/ [serum sodium x urine creatinine]
x 100%) = ([30 mEq/L x 1 mg/dL] / [161 mEq/L x 30 mg/dL]) = 0.62%
Normal values for FENa = ~ 1-2%; decreased renal perfusion (dehydration, decreased intravascular volume) < 1%
March 17, 2005
In many cases there is extrarenal losses from diarrhea and vomiting with predisposing factors being young age, fever, curtailment of oral intake and possibly, high solute fluids such as concentrated or improper preparation of formula or other fluid with a high sodium content.
Child lost proportionally more water than sodium or a relatively hypotonic fluid loss. The result is higher extracellular fluid osmolality which results in a fluid shift from the ICF to ECF. This provides for better organ perfusion compared to iso- or hyponatremic dehydration of comparable degrees.
The child on exam appears better perfused and provides a history of urine output rather than oliguria. This may lead to an underestimate of the degree of dehydration. In this case the magnitude of the dehydration is about 10% or moderate.
The pre-illness weight was ~ 8.3 kg with a current weight of 7.5 kg or a 0.8 kg loss over last week.
Information suggest hypernatremic dehydration.
March 17, 2005
The decision by the clinician was to initiate parenteral fluid replacement rather than oral rehydration therapy.
The relative contraindications for oral rehydration therapy would include a young infant less than 3-4 months of age, the presence of impending shock or markedly impaired perfusion (increased capillary refill – turgor), inability to consume oral fluids due to intractable vomiting, marked irritability or lethargy/ unresponsiveness or the judgment of the clinician.

Therapy Traditionally, treatment has been divided into three phases.
However in hypernatremic dehydration, the hyperosmolality results in the formation of idiogenic osmols (organic and inorganic) such as taurine, glutamate, glutamine, urea, inositol within the brain cells to assist in maintaining osmotic equilibrium between the two fluid compartments.
If the adjustment in osmolality (lowering) occurs to quickly in the extracellular compartment , the osmotic changes will result in the brain cells to swell with resultant neurologic manifestations such as hemorrhage.
March 17, 2005
Emergency / acute phase
This may need to be prolonged in cases of more significant volume depletion:
In some cases of hypernatremic dehydration emergent phase not necessary. If there are significant findings of decreased perfusion or hypotension, then therapy would be reasonable.
Otherwise the process is for a slow restoration of the serum sodium concentration to allow the idiogenic osmols to dissipate over a few days.
Similar to other forms of dehydration, if it is necessary to reestablish circulatory volume to prevent prolonged loss of perfusion to the key organs;
the fluid choices would be isotonic (0.9%) saline (normal saline) or another isotonic /hypertonic solution
March 17, 2005
Acute – Repletion/ Replacement /Restoration Phase Over 48 hours;
daily fluid/electrolyte maintenance requirements and deficit calculation are derived from standard estimates.
For hypernatremic dehydration there are two basic rules –
slow correction and close monitoring.
1. serum sodium concentration should not be reduced by more than about 10 mEq per day. Correct the patient over 48 hours for a serum
sodium concentration of less than 165 mEq/L; correct the patient over 72 hours for values above 165 mEq/L
2. Maintenance fluid / electrolyte calculations for 24 hours: Since the patient has a serum sodium concentration of 161, the correction is over 2
days so 2 days of maintenance fluids needs to added to the total fluid requirements for 48 hours.
March 17, 2005
1. Total 48 hours RequirementsThe total amount of maintenance (2 days) and deficit amounts are given equally over the 48 hour period with frequent monitoring of electrolytes in order to adjust the intravenous rate or sodium concentration based on the rate of decline of the serum sodium concentration.

Fluid selection – 5% dextrose + ¼ isotonic saline (~30-40 mEq/L of Na) + 20 mEq KCl /L
Generally the final solution potassium concentration is about 20 mEq/L, it should not exceed 40 mEq/L without
close intensive care monitoring. The 5% dextrose provides 50 grams of carbohydrate per liter of 50 grams
x ~ 4 calories per gram = 200 calories. This would be about 20% of the daily caloric intake which is sufficient to prevent protein breakdown over a short treatment
period (less than one week).

A 4 year old was referred for evaluation for short stature. The primary care physician has followed the patient since birth. The child is below the 5th % ile for height and the 10th %ile for weight. The child has a normal physical examination and no prior illnesses or hospitalizations.
Initial studies show a urine pH of 6.7, negative for glucose, ketones, blood and protein. No crystals, bacteria or casts.Serum values: Na – 140 mEq/L, K - 4 mEq/L, Cl – 110 mEq/L, Bicarbonate 17 mEq/L, glucose 80

Electrolyte disorders: metabolic alkalosis
• Extrarenal/GI loss of K– CF
• Vomiting– NG suction– Pyloric stenosis
• Distal GI loss of bicarbonate– Chloride diarrhea
• Renal– Bartter’s– Gitelman’s– Apparent mineralocorticoid excess (AME)/licorice

Hematuria
Case 5: Susan is an 8 year old noted on routine exam to have moderate hematuria on dipstick. She has an unremarkable past medical history. Family history is negative in the parents and siblings for any renal disease. History of hematuria is unknown. A repeat urine in one week is still positive and a urine culture showed no growth.
March 17, 2005
Question 5: Which of the following test is the next step in the evaluation?
A. VCUG and urine culture
B. Renal sonogram and urine calcium to creatinine ratio
C. Urology referral
D. CBC and Direct Coombs
E. Recheck in one year
March 17, 2005
• Repeat a first AM void following restricted activity , perform a microscopic on a fresh urine
• Check the family members• If there is still blood without protein, casts,
crystals, normal BP with or without a strong family history, no further work-up is generally required. However a renal sonogram and urine calcium to creatinine ratio
• Caveat - Family anxiety because of the connotation of blood and cancer in adults.
March 17, 2005
Classification of Hematuria
• Microscopic (vast majority of the cases)– Transient– Persistent
• Macroscopic (urologic / renal disorders)– Transient– Persistent (> 2 weeks)
• Persistent microscopic/ Transient macroscopic– IgA or Berger’s; benign recurrent hematuria
March 17, 2005
Glomerular v. Non-glomerular bleeding
• Glomerular
– oliguria, edema, hypertension, proteinuria, anemia
• Non-glomerular
– dysuria, frequency, polyuria, pain or colic, hx
exercise
– crystals on microscopic
– mass on exam
– medication history - sulfas, aspirin, diuretics
March 17, 2005
Who should be worked up?
• Presence of proteinuria and/or hypertension
• History consistent with infectious history, HSP, systemic symptoms, medication use or abuse, strong family history of stones or renal disease/failure.
• Persistent gross hematuria• Family anxiety - limit evaluation
March 17, 2005
Initial evaluation of the patient with hematuria
• All patients: Serum creatinine, kidney and bladder ultrasound, urine calcium to creatinine ratio
• Probable glomerular hematuria – C3, ASO titer– possible: hepatitis, HIV, SLE serology , SSD– renal biopsy – not for persistent microscopic without proteinuria,
decreased renal function, and/or hypertension• Probable non-glomeurlar hematuria
– urine culture, urine Ca/creatinine ratio– possible: hemoglobin electrophoresis,– coagulation studies, isotope scans,– Flat plate, CT, ??IVP, cystoscopy
March 17, 2005
Pearls for Hematuria
• Hematuria is an important sign of renal or bladder disease
• Proteinuria (as we will discuss) is the more important diagnostic and prognostic finding.
• Hematuria almost never is a cause of anemia• The vast majority of children with isolated
microscopic hematuria do not have a treatable or serious cause for the hematuria, and do not require an extensive evaluation. So a VCUG, cysto and biopsy are not indicated.
March 17, 2005
More Pearls
• Urethrorrhagia – boys with bloody spots in the underwear– Presentation – prepuberal ~ 10 yrs– It is painless– Almost 50% will resolve in 6 months and > 90% at 1
year; it may persist for 2 yrs– Treatment – watchful waiting in most cases
• Painful gross hematuria – usually infection, calculi, or urological problems; glomerular causes of hematuria are painless.
March 17, 2005
More Pearls – gross hematuria
• Gross hematuria is often a presentation of Wilms’ tumor
• All patients with gross hematuria require an imaging study.
• If a cause of gross hematuria is not evident by history, PE or preliminary studies, the differential is hypercalciuria, SS trait, or thin basement membrane disease.
• Cysto is rarely helpful
March 17, 2005
Case 6: 7 year old boy developed gross tea colored hematuria after a sore throat and upper respiratory infection. No urinary symptoms but urine output was decreased. He complained of mild diffuse lower abdominal pain. There is no fever, rash or joint complaints. Past med history was unremarkable but had intermittent headaches for two years.
On exam he was well (afebrile) with a BP of 95/65 mHg, no edema, some suprapubic tenderness and red tympanic membranes. The mother thinks that a similar episode occur on vacation a few months ago.
Urinalysis shows 20 RBCs/hpf, 5-10 WBCs, 100 mg/dL of protein, rare cellular and hyaline casts. Serum creatinine is 0.8 mg/dL, C3 100 (normal).
March 17, 2005
Question 6: The most likely cause of the gross hematuria is:
A. Myoglobinuria
B. Urinary tract infection
C. Obstructive uropathy
D. IgA nephropathy
E. Benign familial hematuria
March 17, 2005
IgA
• IGA nephropathy– Boys > girls– Mostly normotensive, with persistent
microscopic hematuria– Chronic glomerulonephrits – up to 40% of
primary glomerulonephritis– Complement studies are nl, some inc IgA – Prognosis – not so good if > 10 yrs of age,
proteinuria, reduced GFR, hypertension and no macrohematuria

• Usually within 3 weeks after strep infection – mean about 10 days
• Periorbital, peripheral edema• Hematuria - coke-colored, tea-colored,
reddish/brown• Nonspecific findings such as abdominal
pain, malaise, anorexia, headaches, pallor
March 17, 2005
Acute glomerulonephritis: DD
• Acute Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSAGN) – most common
• Acute Postinfectious or nonstreptococcal postinfectious glomlerulonephritis 9AIAGN)– Bacterial: endocarditis (low C3), shunt nephritis (low
C3), pneumococcal pneumonia, etc.– Viral: hepatitis B, infectious mononucleosis, varicella,
etc,– Parasites:
• Other: SLE (low C3), membranoproliferative GN (low C3), hyperthyroidism, HSP (nl C3)
March 17, 2005
Acute glomerulonephritis: evaluation/ treatment
• Evaluation– ASO– C3, C4– Renal function– Evaluation for hypertension and oliguria– Magnitude of proteinuria
• RX – supportive – Admission for hypertension, oliguria, impaired renal
function, nephrotic syndrome• Prognosis: C3 normalizes by 12 weeks,
hypertension and other abnormalities resolve by 2-3 months, hematuria may persist for 6-24 mo

Threshold of Detection
ProteinExcretion
March 17, 2005
• Repeat a first AM void following restricted activity, perform a microscopic on a fresh urine; also an alkaline pH may give a false positive result
• If there is still protein perform a more formal orthostatic test. If orthostatic, no further work-up is generally required, although no indemnification from subsequent renal disease.
• Caveat - Family anxiety because of the connotation of protein and friends told them about kidney failure.
March 17, 2005
Causes of Proteinuria
• Transient– fever, emotional stress, exercise, extreme cold,
abdominal surgery, CHF, infusion of epinephrine• Orthostatic
– Transient or fixed / reproducible• Persistent
– Glomerular disease: MCNS, FSGS, MPGN, MN– Systemic: SLE, HSP, SBE, Shunt infections– Interstitial: reflux nephropathy, AIN, hypoplasia,
hydronephrosis, PKD

Question 10
March 17, 2005
Definitions (Pearl)
• Urine protein to creatinine ratio– Normal: < 0.2 (< 0.15 adolescents)– Mild to moderate: 0.2 to 1.0– Heavy or severe: > 1.0
• Persistent proteinuria: present both in the recumbent and the upright posture; even in this situation, proteinuira is less during recumbency
March 17, 2005
Nephrotic Syndrome• Primary Nephrotic Syndrome:
– Minimal change disease (~75%) – mean age 4 yrs• No hematuria, nl C3, no hypertension, nl creatinine
– Membranoproliferative GN (~ 5-10%)– FSGS (5-10%)– Proliferative GN, Mesangial proliferation – Membranous nephropathy
• Secondary Nephrotic Syndrome: – SLE, HSP, diabetes mellitus, HIV, vasculitis, malignancy (lymphoma,
leukemia), drugs (heroin, inteferon, lithium), infections (toxo, CMV, syphilis, hepatitis B and C)etc.
• Congenital/Infantile Nephrotic Syndrome:– Finnish-type congenital nephrotic syndrome,Denys-Drash syndrome– Diffuse mesangial sclerosis, Nail-patella syndrome
March 17, 2005
Nephrotic Syndrome - RXCorticosteroid treatment • Induction therapy:
– Exclude active infection or other contraindications prior to steroid therapy. – Oral prednisone or prednisolone at 60 mg/m2/d (~2 mg/kg/d) daily for 4 weeks.
• Maintenance therapy (following above induction therapy) – Oral prednisone or prednisolone at 40 mg/m2 (or ~1.5 mg/kg) given as a single dose
on alternate days for 4 weeks. – NOTE: Some nephrologists recommend daily induction steroid treatment for 6 weeks,
followed by alternate day maintenance therapy for another 6 weeks. • Relapse therapy
– For infrequent relapses, Prednisone 60 mg/m2/d (~2 mg/kg/d) given as a single morning dose until proteinuria has resolved for at least 3days.
– Following remission of proteinuria, prednisone is reduced to 40 mg/m2 (or ~1.5 mg/kg) given as a single dose on alternate days for 4 weeks. Prednisone may then be discontinued or a tapering regimen.
Frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome is defined as steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome with 2 or more relapses within 6 months or more than 3 relapses within a 12-month period.

March 17, 2005
ARF: Diagnosis
• ATN– Unreversed pre-renal azotemia– Nephrotoxic meds– Contrast agents– High calcium, uric acid, phosphate– Rhabdomyolysis (myoglobin)– Intravascular hemolysis (hemoglobin)
March 17, 2005
ARF: Diagnosis
• Obstructive uropathy– PUV– Prune belly– Vesicoureteric reflux– Neurogenic bladder (myelomeningocele)– Megacystis/megaureter– Secondary: stones, fibrosis
• Effect of age and gender
March 17, 2005
ARF: Testing
• Key labs: BUN, creatinine, K• EKG• CXRay• Renal ultrasound• Specific blood tests based on underlying
condition
March 17, 2005
ARF: Management
• Urgent issues– Potassium
• Calcium• Glucose/insulin• NOT bicarbonate
– Blood pressure: parenteral therapy• Labetalol• Nitroprusside
– ECF volume
March 17, 2005
ARF: Conservative Management
• Potassium– Diet restriction– Kayexalate
• Blood pressure– IV/PO meds
• ECF volume– Na restriction– Diuretic use – need for furosemide
March 17, 2005
ARF: Pearls
• Pre-renal azotemia and AGN are similar• ATN and post-renal failure are similar• Potassium kills first in ARF

CKD: Diagnosis
• Stages– CKD I: renal injury GFR >90– CKD II: GFR 60-90– CKD III: GFR 30-60– CKD IV:GFR 15-30– CKD V: ESRD
March 17, 2005
CKD: Common features
• Impact on growth• Impact on bone: osteodystrophy• Impact on puberty• Impact on development – social and
cognitive
March 17, 2005
CKD: Causes
• Non-glomerular– Hypoplasia/dysplasia– Reflux nephropathy– Obstructive uropathy
• PUV• Prune Belly• Neurogenic bladder
March 17, 2005
CKD: Clinical manifestations
• Growth failure– Dependent on age of onset– Dependent on level of GFR
• UTIs– Pyelonephritis
• Electrolyte abnormalities– Pseudohypoaldosteronism– Nephrogenic DI
• Neurocognitive disability
March 17, 2005
CKD: Causes
• Glomerular– FSGS– HUS– SLE– Membranoproliferative MPGN)– Alport– IgA Nephropathy– Membranous nephropathy– NOT diabetic or hypertensive nephropathy
March 17, 2005
CKD: Clinical manifestations
• Growth failure– Dependent on age of onset
• Hypertension– Role of ECF volume and PRA
• Electrolyte abnormalities– Acute– Hyperkalemia
• Edema• Signs of underlying disease
March 17, 2005
CKD: Diagnosis
• Low value of radiology tests• Blood tests
– C3, C4, CH50– ASLO– ANA, dsDNA, Ro, La, Sm– ANCA– Anti-GBM– Renal biopsy
March 17, 2005
CRF: Management
• Nutritional supplementations– CHO deficiency
• Protein restriction– Impact on growth– Effect in more advanced CKD
• BP control– Disease progression– ACEI/ARB
March 17, 2005
CRF: Management
• Interference with renin-angiotensin aldosterone axis– Safety of ACEI even with advanced CKD– Role of combined ACEI/ARB– Effect of aldosterone antagonists
• Safety issues– Hyperkalemia– Reduction in GFR
March 17, 2005
CRF: Management
• Endocrine treatments– rhGH
• Doubles growth velocity• Minimal risk of progression
– Erythropoietin• Nearly always effective• Antibody induced pure red cell aplasia
– Calcitriol• IV route• More selective agents
March 17, 2005
CRF: Pearls
• Chronic glomerular diseases have oliguria vs chronic tubular diseases which can have polyuria and sodium loss– Nocturia and enuresis may indicate CRF
• Severity of growth failure and neurocognitive deficits are inversely related to age of onset of CRF
March 17, 2005
CRF: More pearls
• Most important feature of nutritional support is to correct low caloric intake
• Medication doses need to be adjusted as GFR declines
• Almost no form of CRF is a contraindication to transplant
