  1. RENAL FAILURE

  2. Classifications • Acute versus chronic • Pre-renal, renal, post-renal • Anuric, oliguric, polyuric

  3. Renal Physiology Review The Kidneys: • Control the fluid/electrolyte balance for the body • Remove metabolic wastes from the blood & excrete them to the outside • Regulate red-blood cell production • Regulate blood-pressure • Important in calcium ion absorption • Control volume, composition and pH of the blood

  4. Renal Hormone Regulation Synthesis and activation of hormones by the kidney include: • Active form of Vitamin D • Erythropoietin Renal blood flow regulated by: Renin-angiotensinaldosterone system (RAAS)

  5. Fluid and Electrolyte ControlMechanisms • RAAS – Renin-Angiotensin Aldosterone System • Aldosterone • ADH – Anti-Diuretic Hormone

  6. Aldosterone • Increases rate of sodium ion absorption • Chloride moves along with sodium because of + charge of sodium • Increases rate of potassium & hydrogen ion secretion Result: Fluid and sodium retention increases blood-pressure

  7. ACUTE RENAL FAILURE

  8. Acute Renal Failure • Definition • The loss of renal function (measured as GFR) over hours to days • Expressed clinically as the retention of nitrogenous waste products in the blood

  9. Acute Renal Failure • Definitions • Azotemia - the accumulation of nitrogenous wastes • Uremia - symptomatic renal failure • Oliguria - urine output < 400-500 mL/24 hours • Anuria - urine output < 100 mL/24 hours

  10. Causes of ARF • Pre-renal = • vomiting, diarrhea, poor fluid intake, fever, use of diuretics, and heart failure • cardiac failure, liver dysfunction, or septic shock • Intrinsic • Interstitial nephritis, acute glomerulonephritis, tubular necrosis, ischemia, toxins • Post-renal = • prostatic hypertrophy, cancer of the prostate or cervix, or retroperitoneal disorders • neurogenic bladder • bilateral renal calculi, papillary necrosis, coagulated blood, bladder carcinoma, and fungus

  11. Symptoms of ARF • Decrease urine output (70%) • Edema, esp. lower extremity • Mental changes • Heart failure • Nausea, vomiting • Pruritus • Anemia • Tachypenic • Cool, pale, moist skin

  20. Postrenal Acute Renal Failure • Urinary tract obstruction • level of obstruction • upper tract (ureters) • lower tract (bladder outlet or urethra) • degree of obstruction • partial • complete

  21. Pathophysiology of Renal Failure in Obstructive Uropathy • Early • Increased intratubular pressure • Initial increase followed by decrease in renal plasma flow • Late • Normal intratubular pressure • Marked decrease in renal plasma flow
