complete impairment of kidney function.

It result in an inability to excrete metabolic

waste products and water, and it contributes to

disturbances of all body system.

uremic syndrome and renal failure:

are used synonymously. The term uremic syndrome

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---


describes a set of manifestations that result from loss
of renal function.
ACUTE RENAL FAILURE

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

Acute kidney injury is a syndrome characterized

by-

Sudden decline in GFR(hours to day)

Retention of nitrogenous wastes product in

blood (Azotemia).

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

Disturbance in extracellular fluid volume

Disturbance in electrolyte and acid base

homeostasis.

ACUTE RENAL FAILURE

CAUSES--
Vascular damage( Renal thrombosis)

Pre renal ARF can progress to intrinsic ARF if the the condition is not

corrected.

CLINICAL FEATURES ACUTE RENAL

FAILURE(ARF).

It depends upon the cause of ARF and

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


the stage of the disease at which the

patient presents.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

It includes one of these 3 major pattern-
Syndrome of Acute nephritis

Syndrome accompanying tubular pathology

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

-Oliguric phase

-Diuretic phase

-Recovery phase

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---


Pre- Renal syndrome
SYNDROME OF ACUTE
NEPHRITIS

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

This is associated with acute glomerulonephritis (

Inflammation of glomerulus)

Results in increase glomerular permeability and

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


decrease in glomerular filteration rate

Features?
mild proteinurea

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

Haematurea
oedema
SYNDROME ACCOMPANYING PATHOLOGY

ARF is caused by destruction of the tubule cells of the

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---


nephrons?

Desease progress in three stages?

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

Oliguric phase?

Last for 7-10 days with urine output less

400ml/day.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


Accumulation of waste product of protein metabolism

in the blood and resultant.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Metabolic acidosis

Azotaemia

Hyperkalaemia

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Hyponatremia.

Hypervolaemia


--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

Diuretic phase--

Healing of tubules results in improving the

urinary output

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---


Effect?

Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

Recovery phase--

Full recovery of tubule cells occurs in half cases

Time period--upto one year.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

Pre- Renal syndrome

Because of secondary disorders like ischaemia(

Decreased blood flow to tissue) and not due to

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

glomerular or tubular damage.

Cause of ischaemia--

Renal arterial obstruction

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---


hypovolaemia

hypotension

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

Due to decrease renal flow, there is decrease in

GFR causing oliguria, azotemia(elevation of
BUN and creatinine) and oedema.
SIGNANDSYMPTOMSOFACUTERENALFAILURE

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


Decreased urine output--Anuria / Oliguria.

Acidic breathing.

Laboratory Evaluation
Blood urea and creatinine - Both are raised due to diminished renal blood flow.

Serum Creatinine reliable marker of GFR

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

BUN- generally follows Serum Creatinine
BUN/ Creatinine -- helpful in classifying cause of ARF--
Ratio > 20 : 1-- suggest pre-renal cause
