RBC Casts always indicate renal disease
RBC Casts indicate, most commonly, glomerulonephritis
White Cell Casts can be seen in acute pyelonephritis
White Cell Casts can be seen in glomerulonephritis
Some casts may be normal
Finely granulated casts indicate glomerular/tubular disease
Coarsely granulated casts indicate glomerular/tubular disease
Finely granulated casts are associated with pathological proteinurea
Coarsely granulated casts are associated with pathological proteinurera
Oliguria is common
Polyuria is common
Biochemically, increased plasma urea
Biochemically, increased creatinine
Biochemically, decreased plasma urea
Biocehcmically, decreased creatinine
Associated with anaemia
Associated with hypocalcemia
Associated with increased phosphate
More common in elderly
AKI is most commonly Pre-Renal
AKI is most commonly Intrinsic AKI
AKI is most commonly Post Renal
Is due to increased renal perfusion
Is irreversible
Can be a secondary effect of peritonitis
Can be an effect of sepsis
Can be an effect of anaphylaxis
Can be an effect of heart failure
Can be an ADR of NSAIDs
Can be an ADR of diuretics
Can be an ADR of ACE Inhibitors
Haematuria indicates Glomerular damage
Proteinurea indicates Glomerular damage
RBC Casts indicate Glomerular damage
Goodpastures can cause Tubulo-interstitium injury
P-ANCA is present in Wegener's granulomatosis
P-ANCA is present in Microscopic Polyangitis
Anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody disease and Goodpastures are synonymous
Glomerular AKI is associated with oedema and hypertension
Tubulo-interstitium injury is part of Pulmonary-Renal disease
Tubulo-interstitium injury is often autoimmune
Tubulo-interstitium injury is associated with haematuria
Tubulo-interstitium injury is usually normal on urinalysis
Tubulo-interstitium injury is associated with proteinurea
Urinalysis is commonly normal in Glomerular damage
Tubulo-interstitium injury can be caused by ischaemia
Radiocontrast is a major cause of glomerular damage
Radiocontrast is a major cause of tubulo-interstitium damage
Rabdomyolysis is a major cause of glomerular damage
Rabdomyolysis is a major cause of tubulo-interstitium damage
Diuretics can produce an acute allergic interstital nephritis
NSAIDS can produce an acute allergic interstitial nephritis
Pre-renal acute kidney secondary to dehydration and hypotension
Bladder outflow obstruction secondary to enlarged prostate
Acute interstitial nephritis secondary to NSAI ibuprofen
Acute interstitial nephritis secondary to PPI lansoprazole
Multi-system disorder causing intrinsic renal injury
Plain X-Ray (KUB)
Ultrasound
Intravenous Urogram
Non-Contrast CT KUB
MR Angiogram
Urinalysis - dipstick for blood and protein
Urinalysis - dipstick for pH and nitrites
Urinary sodium
Urinary creatinine
Urine culture
Urine microscopy
Pulmonary oedema
Hospital-acquired pneumonia
Aspiration pneumonia
Pulmonary embolism
Pulmonary haemorrhage
It confirms a recent infection
It confirms irreversible renal failure
It is a marker of microscopic vasculitis
It is associated with Wegener's Granulomatosis
It suggests intrinsic renal disease
Episcleritis
Skin rashes
Joint pains
Nosebleeds
GI Bleeds
AKI
CKD
Pulmonary haemorrhage
Mononeuritis Multiplex
Seizures due to intracerebral haemorrhage
Crescents indicate UTI
Crescents indicate irreversible renal damage
Crescents are diagnostic of Pulmonary-Renal syndrome
Crescents are diagnostic of ANCA positive vasculitis
Crescents indicate severe glomerular injury
In fact, there is no particular urgency once the diagnosis is made
Patients can rapidly become unwell with multi-system symptoms
All c ANCA positive patients are at risk of developing pulmonary involvement
Rapid aggressive immunosuppression may salvage damaged nephrons and restore useful renal function
It is essential to prepare for urgent dialysis
Steroids
Cortimoxazole
Cyclophosphamide
MMF
Plasmapheresis
Rituximab
