Acute Renal Failure
Anthony R Mato, MD
![Page 2: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Basic Facts
• Renal failure over the course of hours to days.
• The result will be failure to excrete nitrogenous waste and electrolyte imbalance.
• Hard to define: in 26 studies, no two used the same definition!!!
![Page 3: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Classic laboratory definition
• Cr increase of .5 mg / dl.
• Increase in more than 50% over baseline Cr.
• Decreased in calculated Cr Clearance by more than 50%.
• Any decrease in renal function that requires dialysis.
![Page 4: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Basic Differential Diagnosis
• Pre-Renal: Decreased renal perfusion without cellular injury. – 70% of community
acquired cases.
– 40% of hospital acquired cases.
– 1 cause of Intra-Renal failure.
• Intra-Renal: – ATN: Ischemic, toxic insult
to the renal tubule. Tubular
– AIN: Inflammation and edema.
– GN:Injury to the filtering mechanism.
• Post-Renal: obstruction the urinary outflow tract.

Prerenal Failure•Often rapidly reversible if we can identify this early.
•The elderly at high risk because of their predisposition to hypovolemia and renal atherosclerotic disease.
•This is by definition rapidly reversible upon the restoration of renal blood flow and glomerular perfusion pressure.
•THE KIDNEYS ARE NORMAL.
•This will accompany any disease that involves hypovolemia, low cardiac output, systemic dilation, or selective intrarenal vasoconstriction.
![Page 6: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Differential Diagnosis
• Hypovolemia– GI loss: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea– Renal loss: diuresis, hypo adrenalism, osmotic
diuresis (DM) – Sequestration: pancreatitis, peritonitis,trauma,
low albumin.– Hemorrhage, burns, dehydration.
![Page 7: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Differential Diagnosis
• Renal vasoconstriction: hyper Ca, norepi, epi, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, ampho B.
• Systemic vasodilation: sepsis, medications, anesthesia, anaphylaxis.
• Cirrhosis with ascites• Hepato-renal syndrome• Impairment of autoregulation: NSAIDs, ACE,
ARBs. • Hyperviscosity syndromes: MM, WM, PCV

Differential Diagnosis
• Low CO– Myocardial diseases– Valvular heart disease– Pericardial disease– Tamponande– Pulmonart HTN
PE– Pos pressure mechanical ventillation
![Page 9: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Reduced arterial stretch and activated baro-receptors
Neuro-humoral responses activated to maintain blood volume and pressure
•Sympathetic nervous system
•AT II system
•AVP system
They will act together to maintain flow to the heart and the brain at the expense of other non-essential vascular beds.
Renal afferent vaso-dilation is triggered via : PGE2 (afferent), Local myogenic reflex, ATII(efferent)
We have maximum dilation at SBP of 80 mm Hg. PHYSIOLOGY OF
HYPOVOLEMIA

Intrinsic Renal Disease
• Anatomic organization seems to work best. ARF DOES NOT EQUAL ATN.
• 30% of cases of intrinsic renal failure will not show any evidence of ATN on UA. – Glomerulus – Vessels– Interstitum– Tubules
![Page 11: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
THE DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
![Page 12: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Differential Diagnosis
![Page 13: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Tubules : ATN • Ischemic Injuries to the renal tubule:
– Takes 1-2 weeks to recover from after perfusion has been normalized.
– In the extreme form this can lead to bilateral renal cortical necrosis
• Three phases: – Initiation phase– Tubuloglomerular feedback: afferent arteriole constriction
triggered by an increase in the salt delivery sensed by the macula densa.
– Recovery phase: tubular epithelial cell repair and regeneration. This may be associated with a marked diuretic phase.
![Page 14: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
ATN: Ischemic
• Hypovolemia
• Low cardiac output
• Renal vasoconstriction
• Systemic dilation
• Hemorrhage
![Page 15: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
ATN : Toxic
• Exogenous– Radiocontrast
– CSP
– TAC
– Amino glycosides
– Chemotherapy
– Ethylene glycol
– Tylenol
• Endogenous– Myoglobin
– Hemoglobin
– Uric acid
– Oxylate
– Light chains
![Page 16: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ATN : Toxic facts• ATN : Exacerbated in the elderly, CRI, hypovolemia, and exposure to
multiple toxins. • Intrarenal vaso-constriction: radiocontrast, cyclosporin, tacrolimus.
Initially they will look prerenal.• Contrast – toxicity is worst in patients with CRI, DM, MM, CHF,
hypovolemia. This is dose related.• Direct toxicity to epithelial cells: frequent offenders are : acyclovir,
foscarnet, aminoglycosides (30% of patients with therapeutic levels will have ARF), Ampho B (causes vasoconstriction as well as direct toxicity).
• Cisplatin (mitochondrial injury). • Myoglobin and hemoglobin will both increase epithelial cell oxidative
stress. They also inhibit NO vasoconstriciton. • Light chains : can form intratubular casts and are directly toxic. UA
crystal deposition.

Allergic : AIN
Allergic reaction in the tubules. IT IS PARAMOUNT TO IDENTIFY THE OFFENDING AGENT AND REMOVE IT. There may be some role for steroids in the case of AIN.
![Page 18: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
AIN : Allergic • Beta lactams / Cephalosporins• Sulfinamides• TMP• NSAIDs• Diuretics• Captopril• Autoimmune diseases• Infiltrative diseases• Infections: Legionella / Hanta virus

Post Renal Causes
If we can identify this early, this can be readily reversible. This accounts for fewer than 5% of cases of ARF.
![Page 21: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

H and P : Prerenal
• Thirst, orthostatic dizziness, hypovolemia on exam, tachycarida, decreased JVP, poor skin turgor, dry mucous membranes, reduced axillary sweating.
• Start of new medications: NSAIDs, ACE, ARBs. Stigmata of chronic liver disease. Advanced CHF. Signs of sepsis.
![Page 26: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
H and P: Intrinsic Renal
• Recent history or hypovolemia / septic shock. Careful review of clinical data, pharmacy, nursing, and radiology records for evidence of toxin exposure. History of myeloma. Recent rhabdo.
• Flank pain (worry for arterial occlusion) : SC nodules, livedo reticularia, hollenhorst plaques, digital ischemia with palpable pulses. Fevers, arthralgias, pruritis erythemetous rash: AIN.

What is your differential?
![Page 29: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What additional workup do you want to diagnose
the etiology of his ARF / abdominal pain?
![Page 30: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Urinalysis
• Dip: pH, SG, glucose, protein, nitrite, leuk esterase, bili, heme.
• Micro: RBCs, WBCs, casts, crystals, bacteria.
• Normal: 0-2 RBCs, 0-4 WBC, occasional hyaline cast.
![Page 31: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Urinalysis: Prerenal / Post-renal
• Sediment is acellular and may contain hyaline casts
• This is protein that is normally part of the urine (Tamm-Horsfall Protein).
• Post renal : Sediment is classically acellular and “bland”.
• May also see pyuria and hematuria. No casts.
![Page 32: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Renal : ATN • Muddy brown casts
– (contain tubular-epithelial cells).
• They are usually associated with microscopic hematuria and mild tubular proteinuria (< 1 g / d) from impaired re-absorption.
• CASTS ARE ABSENT IN 30% OF THE CASES OF ATN.
![Page 33: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Renal : GN
• Red blood cell casts are the classic finding.
• Dysmorphic RBCs.• These indicate
glomerular injury. • These are rarely seen in
acute ATN. • May also see proteinuria:
> 1 g / day.
![Page 34: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
![Page 35: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Renal : AIN
• White cell / granular casts.
• KEEP IN MIND THAT BROAD GRANULAR CASTS REFELCT CHRONIC RENAL DISEASE (fibrosis).
• Eosinophiluria (> 5%) is a classic finding (Hansel’s Stain) – especially in antibiotic associated AIN.
![Page 36: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Common UA Patterns
• Rhabdo: dip is pos for heme, neg for RBCs
• MM: dip is neg for protein, + for light chains on UPEP
• EG: look for calcium oxylate crystals, elevated AG, elevated osm gap.
• TLS: uric acid crystals (can also be a normal variant of concentrated urine)
![Page 37: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
URINE BLING
![Page 38: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Results
• Tbili : 2.0• Alk: 269• ALT : 44• AST : 44• UA : SG 1.02, trace ketones• Micro : No cells, No casts, No crystals• Urine Na: 10• Urine Cr: 80
![Page 39: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Renal Failure Indices• Fractional excretion of Na: this will relate the clearance of Na
to that of Cr. • In the case of prerenal disease Na is actively reabsorbed to
restore intravascular volume. • This is not the case in renal injury (absorptive mechanisms are
broken). In either case Cr is NOT reabsorbed. So we have the makings of a comparative ratio. The cut off is 1%.
U Na / P Na __________ x 100% = .14% (Prerenal)
U Cr / P Cr
![Page 40: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Keep in mind…• Keep in mind that when pre renal patients are receiving
diuretics or have bicarbonaturia all bets are off. • Also salt wasting states such as CRI and adrenal
insufficiency will also alter results. • In 15% if patients with ATN FeNa can be < 1 % :
reflecting patchy injury with partially preserved function. • In GN, acute urinary post renal obstruction, and vascular
diseases the FeNa will often be < 1%.• Urine sodium, specific gravity, urine osm, BUN : Cr ratio
are less sensitive and of limited value in differentiating this differential.
![Page 41: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Additional Labs• Peak Cr:
– In prerenal disease : may fluctuate with hemodynamics. Rise will be rapid. This is true for contrast (5 days to peak and 7 to normal)
– Atheroembolization (later peak and return to baseline), and ischemia (later peak and return to baseline).
– Rise will be delayed in toxin exposure. • Rhabdo: elevated K, Phos, hypocalcemia with elevations in CK and UA.• TLS: elevated UA, K, Phos, low Ca, elevated Cr and elevated LDH
(intracellular enzyme).• Elevated anion gap + elevated osm gap : suggests ethylene glycol /
methanol exposure. • Anemia may suggest hemolysis, MM, or TTP.• Eosinophillia may suggest AIN, atheroembolic disease, PAN.
![Page 42: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Back to Ricky
• An abdominal CT with contrast shows acute cholecystitis. He is given an intravenous dose of ampicillin and gentamycin, along with normal saline.
• The next morning you note LE edema and bibasilar crackles. His blood pressure has improved to 110/70 and fever has resolved. His overnight urine output was 150cc.
• Na 137, K 6.7, Cl 100, H2CO3 15, BUN 37, Cr 2.7
![Page 43: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Why is he hyperkalemic?What is the management?
Does need dialysis?
![Page 44: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Hyperkalemia
• Plasma Potassium > 5.0
• Pseudohyperkalemia– Prolonged tourniquet use– Hemolysis– Leukostasis / Thrombocytosis
![Page 45: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Physiology
• A large meal has enough potassium to kill us. How will the body handle this load initially.
• Buffering system will stimulate liver / muscle N-K ATPase– Insulin
– Epinephrine
– Aldosterone
![Page 46: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The Kidney to the Rescue
• Kidney handles it in a unique way.
• It virtually reabsorbs 100% of the K in the proximal tubule (70%) and the loop of henle (30%).– Solvent Drag– Single Effect / Paracellular
pathway
• We reabsorb almost all of the K before we reach the distal segments.
![Page 47: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The Principal Cell• BL membrane we have a Na/ K
ATPase • On the apical side we have
amilloride Na channels and other channels that allow the movement for K.
• Tight junctions - the potential across the apical membrane is – 30. The BM is at - 70mv.
• The common denominator: intracellular K will raise electrochemical gradient for K inside of the cell will cause an increase in K secretion into the urine.

The Key Players
1. K concentration

Differential Diagnosis
• Impaired excretion– Renal failure– Primary hypoaldosteronism– Secondary hypoakdosteronism
• ACE, NSAIDs, Heparin, Type 4 RTA
– Aldo resistance • K sparing diuretics, bactrim, pentamidine, sickle cell disease,
multiple myeloma.
– Gordon’s syndrome (enhanced Cl reabsorption, less K secretion, HTN)
– Ureter Diversion to Jejunum.

Symptoms / Signs
• Flaccid paralysis• Arrhythmia
– Peaked T waves– PR / QRS prolongation– AV conduction delay– Loss of P waves– Sine wave– V fib

Treatment : Keep the Physiology in mind.
• EKG changes necessitate treatment:– Calcium gluconate: stabilized myocardium– Insulin / Glucose: intracellular shift – Bicarbonate: intracellular shift– Beta 2 agonists: intracellular shift– Diuretics: IV Lasix – Kayexylate: exchanges K for Na– Dialysis

Dialysis Needs
• A : acidosis• E : electrolytes• I : intoxication (methanol, ethylene glycol,
isopropanol, theophylline, lithium, salicylates)
• O : volume overload • U : uremia (pericarditis, seizures,
encephalopathy)

Treatment• Prevention is the key.
– Appropriate volume resuscitation.– Renal dosing of potentially toxic meds– To estimate GFR : Cockcroft-Gault Formula: takes weight and age
into account. (ONLY IN STABLE CREATININE) MULTIPLY BY .85 IN WOMEN.
– When appropriate follow serum drug levels for dosage adjustment. – Use of NSAIDS, ACR, ARBs, diuretics should be used sparingly
in patients who are hypovolemic or have renovascular disease. – Allopurinol / IVFs use in patients high risk for TLS.– Ethanol for EG toxicity / NAC for tylenol toxicity.– Alkalinization of urine : to prevent MTX toxicity.

Prerenal disease
• IVFs: keep in mind where the loss is coming from and administer fluids accordingly.
• Inotropes, preload / after-load reduction, anti-arrythmics, mechanical aids in CHF.
• Large volume paracentesis: to decrease intra-abdominal pressure and increase venous return from the kidneys.

Acid / Base : Basics
The normal renal response to acidemia is to reabsorb all of the filtered bicarbonate and to increase hydrogen excretion primarily by enhancing the excretion of ammonium ions in the urine. Each hydrogen that is secreted results in the regeneration of a bicarbonate ion in the plasma.
![Page 71: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Proximal Tubule• Reabsorption of filtered bicarbonate
predominantly occurs in the proximal tubules primarily by Na-H exchange.
• Approximately 85 to 90 percent of the filtered load is reabsorbed proximally.
• By comparison, 10 percent is reabsorbed in the distal nephron primarily via hydrogen secretion by a proton pump (H-ATPase).
• Under normal conditions, virtually no bicarbonate is present in the final urine.
![Page 72: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Distal Tubule• We need to deal with acid load from protein
catabolism.• There must be sufficient buffering compounds
available to bind hydrogen ions. • The principal buffers in the urine are ammonia
(excreted and measured as ammonium) and phosphate (referred to and measured as titratable acidity).
• Failure to excrete sufficient ammonium net retention of H+ and metabolic acidosis.
• Impaired hydrogen ion secretion is the primary defect in distal RTA while impaired ammoniagenesis is the primary defect in type 4 RTA and renal failure.
![Page 73: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Renal Tubular Acidosis
• Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a disorder of renal acidification out of proportion to the reduction in GFR.
• RTA is characterized by hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis with a normal serum anion gap [Na+– (Cl–+ HCO3
–)].
• There are multiple forms of RTA, depending on which aspects of renal acid handling have been affected.
![Page 74: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Type I (DISTAL)• Distal nephron does not lower urine pH normally:
– The collecting ducts permit back-diffusion of H+ from lumen to blood with inadequate transport of H+.
– Causes a reduction in ammonium excretion. – [Urinary] and K conservation can be impaired.– Chronic acidosis lowers tubule reabsorption of calcium
hypercalciuria and mild 2nd hyperparathyroidism. – Hypercalciuria, alkaline urine, and urine citrate cause calcium
phosphate stones.– Growth retardation is common and improves with correction of
the acidosis by alkali. – Since the kidney does not conserve potassium or
concentrate the urine normally, polyuria and hypokalemia occur. Sometimes fatal.
![Page 75: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Diagnosis and Treatment
• Normal AG acidosis• Urine pH > 5.5• Nephrocalcinosis• Oral ammonium load
will worsen acidosis.• Urine anion gap is
positive (vs. GI): • Na + K – Cl
• Treat with bicarbonate.
![Page 76: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Type II RTA (Proximal)• Bicarb resorption in prox tubule is impaired.• Distal tubule resorption is overwhelmed at first.• Equilibrium is established at bicarb of 16.• Urine pH is normal / high. • Ammonium challenge does not affect urine
acidification. • Expect bicarbonaturia. FE Bicarb.• Bicarbonate must be given in LARGE doses.
Alkali therapy can worsen hypokalemia.
![Page 77: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Type IV RTA • Distal secretion of K and H+ is abnormal producing a non
AG acidosis with hyperchloremia.• Hypo aldosteronism: DM, ACE, NSAIDs, TMP, adrenal
disease (high Renin level). • Tubular inflammation (low Renin state) with interstitial
inflammation (SSD), K sparing diuretics (aldactone, amilloride).
• HYPERKALEMIA IS THE PRIMARY PROBLEM. K MAY INHIB IT AMMONIA EXCRETION.
• Do not have bicarbonaturia (vs. Type II). • Urine is APPROPRIATELY acidic (pH < 5.5)
![Page 78: 07 Mato Acute Renal Failure](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55654da3d8b42a77078b4732/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Treatment
• Lower potassium
• Remove drugs that lower aldosterone production.
• High dose mineralocorticoids (beware of CHF).
• Liberal Na intake.
• Exchange resins.
