Acute kidney injury Year 4 · Internal Medicine Collection: 4TH YEAR ALL NOTES / IMED / I MED BEAUTIFUL NOTES / RENAL -- ● Objectives: ● Define Acute Kidney Injury ● Know the epidemiology of Acute Kidney Injury ● Know the etiology of Acute Kidney Injury ● Manage Acute Kidney Injury:\n○ Diagnose Acute Kidney Injury\n○ Treat Acute Kidney Injury\n\n [ Color index : Important Notes Extra ] ● Resources: ● 435 slide\n\n● Done by: Malak Alshareef & Mohammed Alfawaz ● Team sub-leader: Shamma Alsaad ● Team leaders: Khawla AlAmmari & Fahad AlAbdullatif ● Revised by: Ahmad Alyahya \n\n Acute Kidney Injury Definitions Traditionally referred to as acute renal failure (ARF), it has many definitions. 1- Acute kidney injury definition: The old generic/descriptive definition is ARF\n- Deterioration of renal function over a period of hours to days, resulting in:\n➔ The failure of the kidney to excrete nitrogenous waste products\n➔ And to maintain fluid and electrolyte homeostasis.\n- Oliguria: <400 ml urine output in 24 hours.\n- Anuria: <100 ml urine output in 24 hours.\n\n2- ARF(AKI) in one study was defined as:\n➔ a 0.5 mg/dL increase in serum creatinine if the baseline serum creatinine was ≤1.9 mg/dL.\n➔ Or an 1.0 mg/dL increase in serum creatinine if the baseline serum creatinine was 2.0 to 4.9 mg/dL.\n➔ Or a 1.5 mg/dL increase in serum creatinine if the baseline serum creatinine was ≥5.0 mg/dl.\n So you can see physician define a case as AKI, while someone else don’t , that’s why they set RIFLE criteria.\n\n3- RIFLE criteria:\nGFR/Creatinine criteria Urine Output criteria \nRisk Increase in creatinine x1.5 Or GFR decrease 25% < 0.5 ml/kg/hr for 6 hrs \nInjury Increase in creatinine x 2 Or GFR decrease 50% < 0.5 ml/kg/hr for 12 hrs \nFailure Increase in creatinine x 3 Or GFR decrease 75% < 0.3 ml/kg/hr for 24 hrs\n or Anuria for 12 hrs \nLoss Persistent ARF = Complete loss of renal function 4 weeks \nESRD End Stage Renal Disease 3 months \n Then, they noticed there is a difference in defining GFR, so they set AKI stages\n\n4- AKI stages:\nStage Creatinine criteria Urine Output \n- 1.5-2 times baseline <0.5 ml/kg/h for 6 h\nAKI stage I - OR 0.3 mg/dl increase from baseline (≥ 26.4\nµmol/L) \nAKI stage II - 2-3 times baseline <0.5 ml/kg/h for 12 h \n- 3 times baseline <0.3 ml/kg/h for 24 h\nAKI stage III - OR 0.5 mg/dl (44 µmol/L) increase OR\n if baseline 4 mg/dl(≥ 354 µmol/L) Anuria for 12 h\n- OR Any renal replacement therapy given \nThese values and stages are based on the difference of mortality rate which is shown below.\nFor example: patient presented with Cr 100 µmol/L, and his baseline was 70 µmol/L, what does he have? AKI stage I (note the difference\nwas more than 26.4 µmol/L) \n\n ● Acute kidney injury, mortality, length of stay, and costs in hospitalized patients:\n19,982 pts admitted to academic medical centre in SF 9,205 pts with 1 creatinine results.\nRise in creatinine Multivariable OR\n(hospital mortality) \n≥ 0.3 mg/dl (26.4 µmol/L) 4.1 \n≥ 0.5 mg/dl (45 µmol/L) 6.5 \n≥ 1.0 mg/dl (90 µmol/L) 9.7 \n≥ 2.0 mg/dl (180 µmol/L) 16.4\nYou can notice that mortality rate increases when Creatinine is higher.\n\n 5- KDIGO Definition for AKI: the latest definition for AKI\nAn abrupt within 48 hours:\n➔ Absolute increase in creatinine by 0.3 mg/dl (26.4 µmol/l).\n➔ Or percentage increase of 50% from baseline.\n➔ Or urine output <0.5 ml/hour for 6 hours.\n\n Epidemiology and impact of Acute Kidney Injury It occurs in:\n● 5% of all hospitalized patients.\n● 35% of those in ICU. Due to hypotension, sepsis, septic shock as\nwell as nephrotoxic medications they will develop AKI. Mortality is high in:\n● Up to 75–90% in patients with sepsis.\n● 35–45% in those without sepsis.\nHospitalized patient, not community. It’s much lower in community\n\nAKI impact: Correlation between AKI classification and outcome: 22,303 adult patients
