Medications
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) inhibit cyclo-
oxygenase, thereby decreasing prostaglandin synthesis. The sub­sequent renal vasoconstriction decreases the GFR.
ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers allow a greater
magnitude of vasodilation in the efferent arteriole as compared with the afferent arteriole, leading to decreased GFR.
Tacrolimus and cyclosporine cause afferent arteriolar vasocon-
striction.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis of prerenal AKI is best made by employing concepts in patho­physiology.
2
Table 1 lists laboratory tests that help delineate the diagnosis.
Treatment
Fluid by mouth or intravenously. Isotonic solution is most effective in
achieving intravascular repletion. Normal saline and intravenous fluid
with sodium bicarbonate are appropriate choices. It is important to
ensure that the fluid is isotonic (not hypertonic) (Table 2).

Test Prerenal AKI Mechanism
Serum BUN: Cr >20:1 Increase in proximal tubule sodium and water
reabsorption. Water reabsorption increases the tubular fluid concentration of urea, leading to an increase in proximal tubular urea reabsorption down a favorable concentration gradient. Creatinine is not reabsorbed.
Urine sodium <20 mEq/L Decreased renal blood flow in the
prerenal state is associated with an appropriate increase in proximal tubular sodium and water reabsorption. Since more sodium is reabsorbed, the urine sodium excreted is decreased.
Fractional <1% Since there is reabsorption of both sodium
excretion of and water in prerenal states, sometimes sodium (FeNa) the urine sodium will not be <20 mEq/L
because the urine is so concentrated. Calculating the fractional excretion of sodium allows sodium handling to be assessed directly without the confounding effect of water reabsorption.
Urine osmolarity >500 mOsm/kg or Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is stimulated
> serum Osm by volume depletion, resulting in
reabsorption of water (independent of sodium) at the collecting ducts.
Fractional <35% Loop diuretics (NaK2Cl transporter inhibitor
excretion of at the loop of Henle) and thiazide diuretics urea (FeUrea) (sodium chloride transporter inhibitor at the
distal tubule) render the evaluation of urine sodium or FeNa less accurate. Urea is predominantly handled in the proximal nephron, thereby allowing the evaluation of the true volume status of the patient despite loop diuretics or thiazides.

Reverse the underlying cause of hypoperfusion. Prerenal AKI with
absolute decrease in effective arterial volume reverses relatively
quickly with fluids. Optimizing cardiac output in CHF and hepatic
function in cirrhosis can improve renal function. Prolonged prerenal
AKI can lead to tubular damage, which can become irreversible.
Intrarenal (Intrinsic) AKI
Definition
Intrarenal AKI is AKI in which there is direct injury to kidney parenchyma.
There are certain aspects in the history or lab findings which will heighten suspicion that the AKI is intrarenal. The clinical settings in which intrarenal AKI is commonly seen are listed in Table 3.

Plasmalyte or lactated 140 mEq May want to avoid in AKI, given the
ringers potassium content (5 mEq/L).
Diagnosis
The urinalysis, urine electrolytes, and urinary sediment are key factors in making this distinction (Table 4).
Treatment
Removal of the inciting cause and supportive therapy are the core com­ponents of treatment of intrarenal AKI. Hyperkalemia is often encoun­tered in AKI. The details of management of hyperkalemia are covered in a separate chapter. Obtaining an EKG is a critical step in the management. Hyperkalemic EKG changes warrant initiation of telemetry monitoring.

Potassium should be frequently checked throughout the treatment, as repeat rounds of therapy to further decrease the potassium may be neces­sary. Hyperkalemia refractory to medical treatment is an important indi­cation for dialysis.
Prevention of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy
The pathology of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is ATN. The spe­cific pathogenesis remains unclear. Toxic and ischemic injury mediated in part by reactive oxygen species is seen in animal and in vitro studies.

The risk factors for developing CIN include:
Chronic kidney disease (elevated baseline creatinine and/or proteinuria)
Diabetes
Age >75 years
Volume depletion around the time of the contrast administration

Prognosis of CIN
Most cases of CIN occur within 24–72 hr of contrast administration. Creatinine can return to the baseline within 3–10 days. However, there are cases in which the creatinine remains above the baseline. Thirteen to 50% of patients with CIN who require dialysis after contrast exposure become dialysis-dependent.

Prevention of CIN
Low osmolar contrast medium at the lowest possible dose.
Intravenous fluid with either normal saline or ½ NS. A dose com-
monly used is 1 mL/kg/hr 12 hr before contrast administration and 12 hr after administration.
Intravenous fluid with bicarbonate
Some studies cite intravenous fluid with sodium bicarbonate (at
3 mL/kg/hr 1 hr bolus before contrast administration, then 1 mL/kg/hr for 6 hr after administration) as being superior to other forms of hydration.
6,7
Can order ½ NS with 75 mEq of sodium bicarbonate. Can opt to
lower the bolus dose, especially in elderly patients or any patient easily susceptible to volume overload.
N-acetylcysteine — results of studies have been inconsistent, but report few adverse effects.
8
The most commonly used dose is 600 mg orally every 12 hr on the day before contrast, and every 12 hr on the day of contrast (for a total of four doses).

Acute Kidney Injury
Postrenal AKI
Postrenal AKI is defined as AKI from the obstruction of urinary outflow tracts.
The clinical settings in which postrenal AKI is commonly seen are:
Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH)
Prostate cancer
Cervical cancer
Bladder or urological tumor
Large bilateral kidney stones (rare) or obstructing kidney stones in the
setting of a solitary kidney
The pathophysiology of postrenal AKI is based on Starling’s forces.
The driving force for the GFR depends on the glomerular hydrostatic pressure being greater than the capsular (Bowman’s capsule) hydrostatic pressure. In postrenal AKI, the obstruction causes an increase in the cap­sular hydrostatic pressure, thereby decreasing the net outward pressure. This effect decreases the GFR.
Diagnosis
Placement of a Foley catheter or imaging with ultrasound can diagnose postrenal AKI.
Treatment
Foley catheter placement can treat postrenal AKI if the obstructing lesion is at or below the bladder neck. If the obstruction is above this level, per­cutaneous nephrostomies or surgical stent placement is required. Prompt relief of obstruction is critical, because the longer the obstruction is pres­ent, the lower the likelihood of returning to baseline creatinine will be.
Obstruction leads to tubular dysfunction and inability to reabsorb
sodium and urea. After the obstruction is relieved, postobstructive diuresis (an osmotic diuresis) can occur from this additional solute. Therefore, it is very important to closely monitor urine output after relief of obstruction.
420
T.K. Kim
Intravenous Fluids for Postobstructive Diuresis
The kidney’s ability to concentrate and dilute the urine is impaired in obstruction. In postobstructive diuresis, the most appropriate fluid is ½ NS. The rate of ½ NS can be 2/3 mL for every 1 mL of urine output. Frequent re-evaluation of urine output (at least every 8 hr) must be done to assess changes needed in the intravenous fluid rate. More frequent re­evaluation is required in large volumes of polyuria.
Parameters to Monitor in Postobstructive Diuresis
Vitals: hypotension and tachycardia can result from falling behind in fluid repletion. Strict “ins and outs,” daily weights, and lung exams are essential.
Electrolyte and acid/base disturbances in postobstructive diuresis are outlined in Table 5.
9
Checking a chemistry panel at least every 8 hr is necessary. More frequent testing may be needed if the projected 24 hr urine output is excessive.

Medications and Procedures in AKI

It is prudent to avoid certain common medications and procedures in AKI (see Table 6). Since creatinine clearance is assumed to be < 10 mL/min in a patient whose creatinine is rising daily, medication dose adjustment is important in order to prevent possible untoward effects due to overdosage (such as antibiotics, digoxin, famotadine, allopurinol, or colchicine).

Renal Consult for AKI

Involving nephrologists earlier in the course of management may be ben­eficial if the initial tests show renal AKI, or if there are significant elec­trolyte or acid/base disturbances in any form of AKI. If there is significant proteinuria or hematuria in a patient with resolving or resolved prerenal AKI, a renal consult can determine if there is any underlying renal parenchymal disease. Nephrologists can also help determine if a renal

Changes Observed in
Blood Chemistry Postobstructive Diuresis Mechanism
Sodium Increased Water and salt excretion are
increased after obstruction is relieved. If urine output is not adequately matched in the setting of postobstructive diuresis, hypernatremia may ensue. However, if there is excessive repletion of urine output with hypotonic solution, hyponatremia results.
Potassium Decreased Polyuria is associated with
increase in potassium excretion.
Magnesium Decreased Polyuria is associated with increase
in magnesium excretion.
Bicarbonate Decreased Defective urinary acidification.

Low-molecular-weight heparin Patients with AKI or creatinine clearance
< 30 mL/min have elevated anti-Xa, placing them at higher risk for major bleeding events.

Phosphate-containing laxatives Calcium phosphate deposits have been
or enemas associated with acute phosphate nephropathy in
certain patients (AKI and deaths are reported).
11
Meperidine The accumulation of a metabolite
(normeperidine) in renal impairment lowers the seizure threshold in patients with AKI.

Hydromorphone is the preferred narcotic in AKI or CKD.

NSAIDS Renal vasoconstriction induced by NSAIDS
reduces GFR
Metformin Discontinue in patients with AKI or creatinine

Peripherally inserted central PICCs will sclerose the entire length of the vein
venous catheters (PICCs) in which it is inserted. Since there is a chance
that a patient with AKI can progress to CKD, preserving the integrity of veins is important for possible future arteriovenous access for dialysis. Hickman catheters (inserted in the internal jugular vein) are preferred if long term intravenous access is required.
Subclavian vein Subclavian lines can cause central venous
central lines stenosis, rendering all veins distal to this
site inadequate for future AV fistula use.
Internal jugular lines are preferred. CT with intravenous contrast See section on CIN. MRI with gadolinium Gadolinium in patients with AKI or creatinine
clearance <30 mL/min is contraindicated,
owing to the possibility of nephrogenic
systemic fibrosis, which has been
associated with reported fatalities.
