  1. ACUTE RENAL FAILURE Academic Half Day February 9, 2012

  2. Objectives To review: • the etiologies of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the pediatric population • the work-up/diagnosis of AKI • the management of AKI • What is AKIs? “abrupt reduction in kidney function as measured by a rapid decline in GFR” • Previously known as Acute Renal Failure • Now failure represents one end of the spectrum • Etiology is variable • Definitions/classifications have varied in the literature…

  3. Classification - pRIFLE U/O <0.5cc/kg/h x 8h Risk Injury Failure Loss End-stage eCCl dec 25% eCCl dec 50% U/O <0.5cc/kg/h x 16h eCCl dec 75%/ < 35ml/min/1.73m2 <0.3cc/kg/h x 24h/ Anuric x 12h Persistent failure >4wks Failure > 3 months

  4. Leads to: • Impaired excretion of nitrogenous waste • Impaired water and electrolyte balancing • Impaired acid/base regulation • Impaired vascular tone regulation

  5. Burden of disease Incidence (US): 0.8/100 000; ~1/10 in ICU • Increasing Independent risk factor for ICU mortality Increases length of hospital stay May lead to chronic renal failure (40-50% ICU)

  6. Etiologies: a general approach Though likely multifactorial, can be divided into: Pre-renal Renal Post-renal

  7. Volume deplete: GI Vomiting Diarrhea Bleeding Trauma Surgery Diuresis Diabetes - DM, DI Drugs Kidney sees less volume: Sepsis CHF Cirrhosis Vascular - also consider in renal RAS Thrombus Takayasu, PAN, KD Drugs NSAIDs ACEi ARBs Pre-renal causes:Any cause which results from kidney seeing to little blood flow

  8. Renal causes Vascular: Microvasculature: • Sickle cell disease • HUS • Tumour lysis • rhabdomyolysis ?Syndromes • Hepatorenal • Cardiorenal • Pulmonary-renal • Glomerular: • Glomerulonephritis: • Post-infectious • membranoproliferative • SLE • HSP Tubulo/Interstitial:Acute tubular necrosis -secondary to nephrotoxic insults or poor perfusion Acute interstitial nephritis -drugs -infxn Cortical dysplasia -hypoxia/ischemia->infarct -toxins/severe HUS ?Sepsis inflamm, not all volume related

  9. Hemolytic UremicSyndrome History of Ecoli, Shigella, shiga-toxin… Atypical (non-diarrhea, non-shiga-toxin) Hemolytic anemia with fragmented RBCs Thrombocytopenia Renal injury CNS, liver, pancreas can also be affected

  10. Post-infectious glomerulonephritis Occurs in ages 5-12, post-GAS. Presentation can be asymptomatic to nephritis complete with gross hematuria, proteinuria, HTN, edema Labs: abnormal urinalysis, low complement Rx: supportive. Prognosis: most make complete recovery.

  11. HSP -Causes renal issues d/t IgA deposition. -A/W palpable purpura, arthritis, abdo pain. -Renal more likely to be an issue in older kids -Rx: if crescenteric, GN - steroids. -prognosis: often relapses. Can have late deterioration even if full recovery. 10-30% adults go on to have end-stage disease.

  12. Acute TubularNecrosis Describes an end effect of tubular damage… • Secondary to perfusion insults • Secondary to toxins Change in blood flow, obstruction and passive filtrate backflow into tubular cells can cause a cycle leading to further death…

  13. AIN Drugs (71%) - 1/3 antibiotics • Penicillins, cephalosporins, NSAIDs, sulfonamides, cipro, rifampin, PPIs, allopurinol… and more Infection (15%) • Strep, Legionella, leptospirosis, CMV, EBV… many Tubulointersitial nephritis and uveitis (5%) Autoimmune: SLE, Sjogren’s Sarcoidosis Idiopathic (8%)

  14. Nephrotoxins Vascular effect • ACEi, cyclosporine, tacrolimus Tubular effect • Proximal: aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, cisplatin, immunoglobulins, contrast • Distal: NSAIDs, ACEi, lithium, cyclophosphamide • Obstruction: sulfa, acylovir, methotrexate AIN

  15. Post-renal causes Two kidneys - distal or bilateral proximal obstruction Single kidney - obstruction anywhere • Posterior urethral valves • Ureteropelvic junction obstruction • Ureterovesicular junction obstruction • Ureterocele • Stones • Tumour • Hemorrhagic cystitis • Neurogenic bladder

  16. On history… ? pre-renal: • Vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding, sepsis, dec PO • Drug use - inc NSAIDs ? renal: • Bloody diarrhea? (HUS) Recent illness? (PSGN) Crush injury? • Drug use: aminoglycosides, antifungals, chemo • Associated lung/heart/liver symptoms? (dual organ) ? post-renal:

  17. On physical… Pre-renal: • Dehydration • Signs of heart failure/cirrhosis/sepsis Renal: • Edema (nephrotic syndrome) • Purpura (HSP Post-renal: palpable bladder?

  18. What to order? BUN, Cr, lytes, fractional excretion of sodium Urinalysis

  19. NORMAL: -pre-renal (may be concentrated) -post-renal -ATN ABNORMAL: -brown granular/epithelial casts = ATN -red cell casts = glomerulonephritis -proteinuria = glomerular -pyuria, white cell casts = UTI or glomerulonephritis (post- infxn) -hematuria = AIN, vasculitis, infarction, obstruction On labs… Everyone gets a urinalysis…

  20. And even more information from urine… Urine osmolality: • Typically low in ATN (<350 mosmol/kg) • Typically high in pre-renal disease (>500) Urine volume: Often low, especially given criteria for AKI. However, some ATN is non-oliguric Urine eosinophils Urine sodium…

  21. Sodium excretion Why? Helps distinguish pre-renal vs ATN… • >30-40 mEq/L = ATN • <10 mEq/L = effective volume depletion(20-30 in infants) • BUT what if there is a large urine output?

  22. Fractional Excretion of Sodium FENa compensates for the urine output… UNa x PCr PNa x UCr …can also be thought of as UNa/PNa UCr/PCr <1% --> pre-renal disease 1-2% --> ?? >2% --> ATN

  23. Bloodwork… CBC: look for MAHA, thrombocytopenia Extended lytes. Renal injury can result in: • Hyperkalemia • Hyperphosphatemia • Hypocalcemia • Metabolic acidosis Other options, depending on history: ANCA, ANA, ASOT, complement, drug levels…

  24. And of course, creatinine Creatinine is usually elevated • Normal Cr varies by age • Note Cr can NOT be used to estimate GFR in acute kidney injury… • This is why the search is on for a “troponin of the kidneys”

  25. Troponin of the kidneys? Unfortunately, not yet… Some ideas: • Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) • Increased 50-fold, and 24h before serum Cr • Has been shown to predict AKI severity in SLE, HUS, renal transplant patients • Kidney injury molecule - 1 (KIM-1) • IL-18

  26. Imaging Ultrasound - in all children if etiology unclear • # of kidneys • Size of kidneys • Obvious parenchymal damage • Obstruction • Thrombus/vessel occlusion

  27. Renal biopsy Only when diagnosis remains unknown, or there is a failure to respond to treatment

  28. Approach summary:

  29. Treatment Principles: • FEN • Avoid complications • Treat underlying cause Generally pediatric nephrology will be involved.

  30. Child can be hypo-, eu- or hypervolemic. FEN - fluids HTN can occur and is usually secondary to volume overload. Treatment based on diuretic response, severity.

  31. FEN - electrolytes Hyperkalemia - if severe (>7) - C BIG K Die… • Don’t give K (IVs, low K diet) • stabilize the cardiac membrane - IV calcium gluconate • Move K ECF -> ICF by: • Insulin (with glucose) • Sodium bicarb • Beta agonists • Remove K from the body - kayexalate • Can try diuretics - unlikely to do enough • RRT if the above doesn’t work

  32. FEN - electrolytes Acidosis • Respiratory compensation can be enough • Sodium bicarb ONLY if life-threatening and/or contributing to hyperkalemia • Def not if pH >7.2 or bicarb >14mEq/L • Can decrease Ca further -> seizures • Can increase intravascular volume • If refractory volume overload, hypernatremia -> RRT

  33. FEN - electrolytes Hyperphosphatemia: • Low phosphate diet • Binders Hypocalcemia: • Calcium gluconate • Can pre-empt if sodium bicarb being given

  34. FEN - Nutrition AKI is a catabolic state Ensure adequate calories - 120kcal/kg/d in infants - usual maintenance for children PO -> enteral -> TPN If fluid balance off with adequate nutrition: RRT

  35. Avoid complications Including making things worse…so no: Aminoglycosides NSAIDs Antifungals Immunosuppressive drugs Contrast media

  36. Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) Indications: • Uremia s/s - pericarditis, neuropathy, decline • Azotemia - BUN >36 • Refractory fluid overload - HTN, pulm edema, CHF • Refractory hyperK, hypo/hyperNa, acidosis • Nutritional support with fluid balance issues

  37. RRT Options: Continuous renal replacement therapy Peritoneal dialysis Hemodialysis

  38. Prognosis Mortality: 60% (critically ill) 20-25% go on to have some degree of chronic renal issues

  39. Take home points Etiology: Best divided into pre-, renal and post-renal Work-up: Urinalysis, ultrasound, bloodwork… Treatment: Fluids - close balance Electrolytes - esp K, PO4, Ca Acidosis Nutrition Dialysis - talk later today
