AKI
The 3 types of AKI
What is Prerenal, Intrarenal & Postrenal?
Untreated CKD can lead to this
What is end stage kidney disease?
This drug draws K+ into the GI tract to excrete & lower K+ levels
What is Kayexalate?
This can cause headache, change in LOC & restlessness in a patient receiving dialysis
What is Disequilibrium Syndrome?
Major transplant concerns
What is infection & rejection?
Phases of AKI
What are Initiation, Oliguria, Diuresis & Recovery?
These two labs increase due to CKD
What are BUN and creatinine?
Medications used for acute renal failure (with renal dosing)
What are diuretics & calcium channel blockers?
This is a complication of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis
What is infection?
This biproduct of metabolism can cause confusion and itch in patients with CKD
What is urea?
Type of AKI when blood flow to the kidney is inadequate
What is prerenal?
These are the two main causes of CKD
What are hypertension and diabetes?

What are ACE inhibitors?
This hemodialysis complication causes SOB, tachycardia & chest pain
What is an air embolism?
The GFR for CKD stage 3
What is 30-59 mL/min?
What is hypovolemia?
Percentage loss of functioning nephrons in ESKD
What is 90-95%?
This type of medication should be held until after hemodialysis
What is an antihypertensive?
Important patient measurement before dialysis
What is patient weight?
During the oliguric phase of AKI this should be limited
What is fluid intake?
This type of AKI is caused by trauma to the kidney(s)
What is intrarenal?
Three electrolytes that increase in CKD
ESKD with decreased erythropoietin leads to this
What is anemia?
CRRT is used for this type of patient
What is hemodynamically unstable?
Observation of this patient measure is important in identifying renal function
What is urine output?
