  18. Kidney Surgery:Nephrectomy • Post Op Nursing Management • Strict I & O • Urine output should be at least _____. • What should the UO be if patient had bilateral nephrectomy? ______. • Observe urine • Daily weights • TCDB & IS • Incision in flank area • Medicate for pain as ordered

  19. Vascular Disorders of the Kidney:Patho of HTN-Nephrosclerosis • Development of arterio sclerotic lesions in the arterioles and glomerular capillaries ↓ Decreased blood flow which leads to ischemia and patchy necrosis ↓ Destruction of glomeruli ↓ Decrease in _____

  20. Vascular Disorders of the Kidney:Renal Artery Stenosis • Definition: • narrowing of one or both renal arteries due to atherosclerosis or structural abnormalities. • Common Manifestation: • uncontrollable HTN • medications do not work

  21. Vascular Disorders of the Kidney:Renal Artery Stenosis • Treatment/Collaborative Care • Diagnostic Tests • Renal arteriogram-most definitive • Management • Conservative-antihypertensive meds • Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty • Surgical re-vacularization (Graft) • Nephrectomy

  22. Vascular Disorders of the Kidney:Renal Artery Stenosis • Treatment/Collaborative Care What type of procedure is this? What are some post procedure nursing care interventions?

  23. Vascular Disorders of the Kidney: Renal Vein Thrombosis/Occlusion • Definition: • partial occlusion in one or both renal veins due to atherosclerosis or structural abnormalities in vein by a thrombus • Risk Factors: • Nephrotic syndrome • Use of birth control pills • Certain malignancies

  24. Vascular Disorders of the Kidney:Renal Vein Thrombosis/Occlusion • Pathophysiology/etiology • Cause unclear: thrombus forms in renal vein • Associated with trauma, nephrotic syndrome gradual deterioration of kidney function • Common Manifestations/Complications • Decreased GFR • Signs of kidney failure • **Complication ---*_______________

  25. Vascular Disorders of the KidneyRenal Vein Thrombosis/Occlusion • Treatment/Collaborative Care • Diagnosis- renal venography • Management • Thrombolytic drugs • Anticoagulant therapy • Surgical thrombectomy • Cortiocosteroids

  26. Acute Kidney Injury(AKI)(previously known as Acute Renal Failure) • Definition: • Rapid decline in renal function- leads to accumulation of nitrogenous wastes (azotemia) • Kidneys unable to remove urea from blood-become uremic -- aka uremia (multiple body symptoms affected)

  27. Acute Kidney Injury Etiology of AKI: • Pre-renal • Intra-renal • Post renal

  28. Etiology of Acute Kidney InjuryPre-renal Most common cause of pre-renal AKI • Causes of “pre-renal” AKI • Hypovolemia: dehydration, shock, burns, N&V, diarrhea • Decreased cardiac output: CHF, MI, arrythmias • Dec. vascular resistance (septic shock, etc) • Renal vascular obstruction: renal artery stenosis, thrombus

  29. Etiology of Acute Kidney Injury:Intra-renal • Direct injury to the kidneys/nephrons • causing damage to renal tissue (parenchyma) • ATN (acute tubular necrosis) • *Destruction of tubular epithelial cells, slough, plug tubules- abrupt decline in renal function-recovery possible if basement membrane remains intact & tubular epithelium regenerates • Most common cause of Intra-renal AKI

  30. Etiology of Acute Kidney Injury:Intra-renal • Hemolytic blood transfusion (ATN) • Trauma(crush injuries > release myoglobin>damage muscle tissue > blocks tubules) (rhabdomylosis) (ATN) • Nephrotoxic drugs/chemicals (ATN) • Aminoglycosides* • Radiographic contrast agents • Arsenic, lead, carbons • Drug overdose • Acute glomerulonephritis/pyelonephritis • Systemic Lupus

  31. Etiology of Acute Kidney Injury:Intra-renal (ATN) • Renal ischemia • Destruction tubular epithelium • Nephrotoxic agents • Necrosis tubular epithelium… plug tubules. • Potentially reversible IF • Basement not destroyed and tubular epithelium regenerates Renal ischemia Nephrotoxic agents

  32. Etiology of Acute Kidney Injury: Post-renal • Causes of “post-renal failure” • mechanical obstruction of urinary outflow • urine backs up into renal pelvis • BPH (Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy) • Calculi • Trauma • Prostate cancer

  33. Diagnostic Tests:Acute Kidney Injury • BUN (blood urea nitrogen) • Normal = 6-20 mg/dl; measurement of amt of nitrogen, in the form of urea, in blood • Serum Creatinine: • Normal = 0.6 – 1.3 mg/dl • Directly related to GFR • 2 X pts. normal = 50% nephron fx loss • 10 X pts. normal = 90% nephron fx loss • MORE ACCURATE INDICATOR of kidney function than BUN

  34. Diagnostic Tests:Acute Kidney Injury • Creatinine clearance • Most accurate indicator of kidney function • Reflects GFR (glomerular filtration rate) • Involves a 24 hr urine/serum creatinine • Formula: • urine creatinine X urine volume serum creatinine • Normal= 70-135ml/minute • (+/- 120-125ml/minute)

  35. Diagnostic Tests:Acute Kidney Injury • Urine Specific Gravity • Normal= 1.003-1.030 • Fixed - 1.010 usually in AKI • Can indicate ATN • Kidneys lose ability to concentrate urine • Serum Electrolyte • 1. Serum Sodium Normal= 135-145meq/L • May be high, low, or normal

  36. Diagnostic Tests:Acute Kidney Injury • Serum Electrolytes 2. Serum K+ Normal= 3.5-5.0 meq/dL • Almost always increased in kidney failure • Why?

  37. Diagnostic Tests:Acute Kidney Injury • Serum Electrolytes 3. Serum Calcium Normal= 8.6-10.2mg/dL Almost always decreased Why?

  38. Diagnostic Tests:Acute Kidney Injury • Serum Electrolytes 4. Serum Phosphorus Normal= 2.4 - 4.4mg/dL Almost always increased Why?

  39. Diagnostic Tests:Acute Kidney Injury • ABGs • pH • Metabolic acidosis due to ability of kidneys to excrete acid metabolites (uric acid, ammonia) so the pH will be __________. • Also, bicarb levels due to bicarb being used up to buffer excess H+ ions & ____________

  40. Stages of Acute Kidney Injury • Initiating Phase • Time of insult until signs and symptoms become apparent! • Oliguric Phase • Usually appears 1-7 days of initiating event • Diuretic Phase • Start varies, usually within10-12 days of onset oliguric phase • Recovery • Usually within a month, recovery takes up to 12 months

  41. Acute Kidney Injury: Oliguric Phase • Onset: 1-7 days • Duration: 10-14 days • Urine output: Less than 400 ml/24 hours in 50% of patients • Can have non-oliguric AKI • Signs and Symptoms to anticipate? • Specific gravity fixed at 1.010 in oliguria in intra renal failure – may be elevated in pre & post • Fluid overload • Urine with RBCs, casts, WBCs, protein (if glomerulus damaged) • K+ likely elevated

  42. Acute Kidney Injury: Oliguric Phase • Metabolic acidosis: • kidneys unable to synthesize HCO3, cannot excrete H+ and acid metabolites; serum bicarbonate dec. because used to buffer H+ • Result: Kussmaul breathing • Ca deficit & phosphate excess: • dec. GI absorption Ca (lack of active vitamin D) • Nitrogenous product accumulation: • unable to eliminate urea and creatinine > elevated BUN, serum creatinine

  43. Acute Kidney Injury: Oliguric Phase • Treatment • Fluid Challenge/Diuretics • Why do you think it is done? • Process: • 250-500cc NS given I.V. over 15 minutes • Mannitol (osmotic diuretic) 25gm I.V. given • Lasix 80mg I.V. given • Should see what within 1-2 hours????

  44. Acute Kidney Injury: Oliguric Phase Treatment • If fluid challenge fails, fluid intake is usually limited and client is placed on fluid restriction • Restriction is limited to 600ml (includes insensible loss) + UO over the past 24 hours • Physician will specify in the orders how much

  45. Acute Kidney Injury: Diuretic Phase • Onset: days to weeks • Duration: about 10 days (1-3 weeks) • Urine output: 1-3 liters/day • Signs and Symptoms to anticipate? • What happens to fluid volume? • Elevated BUN and serum creatinine • K likely to be elevated or decreased??? • What happens to Na? • What happens to blood pressure?

  46. Acute Kidney Injury: Recovery Phase • Onset: • When BUN and Creatinine are stabilized • Duration: • 4-12 months • Urine output: • Normal • Signs and Symptoms to anticipate? • Monitor for signs and symptoms of F & E imbalances • All body systems for effects of fluid volume changes

  47. Acute Kidney InjuryManagement/Interventions • 1- Treat primary disease/condition whether it is pre-intra-post renal problem. • 2- Prevention: • Frequent monitoring for early signs of AKI in at risk patients

  48. Acute Kidney InjuryManagement/Interventions • 3- Assess for Fluid V deficit vs Fluid V overload • Vital signs – HR, BP, RR • Strict I & O • Daily weights 500ml =1lb. (1kg = approx 1000ml) • Monitor lab value • 4- Metabolic Acidosis • Administer NaHCO3 I.V. as ordered

  49. Acute Kidney Injury Management/Interventions • 5- Hyperkalemia • Give insulin & glucose I.V. or • Sodium bicarbonate I.V. or • Calcium gluconate or • Dialysis or • Kayexalate po/enema or • Dietary restrictions (not necessarily in this order)

  50. Acute Kidney InjuryManagement/Interventions • 6- Calcium Imbalance • Administer calcium supplements as ordered • 7- Treat Hypertension (HTN) • 8- Phosphorus Imbalance • Administer phosphate binders • *Amphogel *Basaljel, Renagel • Oscal Phoslo *Cautious use of aluminum-based phosphate binders can cause encephalopathy
