ACUTE RENAL FAILURE

Dr. Shumaila Rafi


Assistant Professor Medicine
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
 At the end of session final year students will be
able to:
 Define acute renal failure

 Classify renal failure on the basis of RIFLE


strata
 Discuss all the causes of acute renal failure

 Explain all the clinical features of acute renal


failure
 Justify an outline for the management of acute
renal failure
DEFINITION
A sudden and usually reversible loss
of renal function, which develops
over days or weeks and is usually
accompanied by a reduction in urine
volume.
RIFLE
STRATA
CLASSIFICATION

Reversible acute renal failure

Established acute renal failure


HISTORY
Volume restriction

Nephrotoxic drug ingestion

Exposure to iodinated contrast agent


Trauma or unaccustomed exertion

Blood loss or transfusions

Exposure to toxic substances, such as


ethyl alcohol or ethylene glycol

Access for co –morbid conditions


SYMPTOMS
Oliguria --- Urine output < 500ml/day

Anuria ---- Complete absesnce of


urine

Non oliguric renal failure --- urine


volume is increased
OTHER FEATURES

 'Uraemic' features include:


 initial anorexia, nausea and vomiting
followed by
 drowsiness, apathy, confusion,
muscle-twitching,
 hiccups, fits and coma.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
BLOOD LOSS CARDIAC FAILURE

 Tachycardia  Raised JVP


 Orthostatic  S3 gallop
hypotension  Pulmonary
 Poor skin turgor crepts
CONTD.
Periorbital edema

Maculopapular rash Acute


interstitial
nephritis
Wheezing
INVESTIGATIONS
 CBC

 S. Urea and Creatinine

 S. Sodium &S. Potassium

 S. Calcium &S. Phosphate

S. Albumin
 ABGS

 Urinalysis &Cultures

Renal ultrasound

Renal biopsy

Systemic disorders investigations


CXR
ECG
MANAGEMENT OF REVERSIBLE
PRE -RF
 Establish and correct the underlying
cause

 Treat hypovolumia

 Optimise systemic haemodynamics

 Correct metabolic acidosis by sodium


carbonate
MANAGEMENT OF ESTABLISHED RF
Treatment of Hyperkalaemia

 Immediate fluid management

Dietary restriction

Control of infection

Renal repalacement therapy


ACUTE INTERSTITIAL NEPHRITIS

Acute inflammation within the


tubulo-interstitium.
Drugs:
CAUSES
Infections:  Penicillins
 NSAIDs

 Acute bacterial  Proton pump


pyelonephritis inhibitors
 Leptospirosis
 Tuberculosis Toxic
 Hantavirus
 Myeloma light
chains
 Mushrooms
MANAGEMENT
Treat the underlying cause
Withdrawal of the drug alone
Corticosteroids (e.g. prednisolone 1
mg/kg/day)
Dialysis is sometimes necessary but is
usually only short-term
ACUTE TUBULAR NECROSIS (ATN)

Acute necrosis of renal tubular cells


may result from ischaemia or
nephrotoxicity .
1. 20 years old male came in emergency with complaints of decrease
urine output for last 48 hrs. On further inquiry history of taking
some antibiotics from GP few days back. Urine DR shows RBC cast
and WBC cast. What is the most likely cause of renal failure?
a. Acute interstitial nephritis
b. Acute tubular necrosis
c. Glomerular injury
d. Pre renal failure

2. What additional finding will be present in laboratory test?


a. Neutrophilia
b. Neutropenia
c. Eosinophilia
d. Lymphocytosis
