AKI
This type of AKI can be caused by hypovolemia or decreased cardiac output
What is Prerenal?
This acute condition can progress to CKD
What is AKI?
This serum lab test is not the most specific indicator of renal issues
What is BUN?
These are the three types of dialysis
What is hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and continuous renal replacement therapy?
This is the formula for calculating normal urine output
What is 0.5mL/kg/hr?
This type of AKI can be caused by nephrotoxic antibiotics
What is Intrarenal (aka Intrinsic)?
These are the main causes of CKD
What is hypertension and diabetes?
This is the best serum lab test to measure kidney function
What is GFR?
This is an important measurement to perform after a patient has had dialysis
What is weight?
This is the type of medication dosing to use for AKI and CKD
What is renal dosing?
This is the most common type of intrarenal AKI in hospitalized patients
What is Acute Tubular Necrosis?
This stage of CKD is considered severe and the GFR is 15-29
What is Stage 4?
This measurement is crucial in early identification that a renal issue may be happening
What is urine output?
This is how to assess a fistula/graft used for hemodialysis
What is listen to the bruit, palpate the thrill, and check the distal pulse?
This is the priority concern for a patient with a kidney transplant
What is risk of infection? (on immunosuppressants)
This type of AKI can be caused by urinary calculi
What is Postrenal?
This is the GFR that designates Stage 5 ESRD
What is <15 mL/min?
This is the normal range for serum potassium
What is 3.5-5.0 mEq/L?
This can be caused if dialysis is done too rapidly, and can result in changes in LOC and seizures
What is Dialysis Disequilibrium Syndrome?
This is the name for when the dialysate sits in the peritoneal cavity during peritoneal dialysis
What is dwell time?
At this phase of AKI, the patient will have an increased BUN/Cr and a decreased GFR as well as little or no urine produced
What is the Oliguric/Anuric phase?*
*patients may not experience this phase
Calcium, insulin, and sodium bicarbonate are some of the treatments used for this acute electrolyte imbalance that is common in patients with CKD
What is hyperkalemia?
A low level of this electrolyte is caused by decreased renal production of Vitamin D and increased serum phosphorus
What is hypocalcemia?
This is a complication of peritoneal dialysis
What is infection? (at the catheter site and peritonitis)
An elevated BP and auscultated crackles in a patient with AKI is indicative of this
What is fluid volume overload?
