Rate this question:
Intravenous isotonic sodium bicarbonate or sodium chloride

Hemodialysis
Rate this question:
The incidence of AKI is increasing, and the absolute mortality rates of AKI are decreasing
Both the incidence of AKI and the mortality rates associated with AKI are decreasing over time
The increased risk of AKI over time is restricted to the setting of sepsis in intensive care unit (ICU) patients
Crude mortality rates associated with AKI have decreased only in patients who do not require dialysis
Rate this question:
Isotonic, crystalloid fluid
0.45% saline
Low molecular weight hetastarch
0.9% saline plus 5% albumin
Rate this question:
Infuse 50 ml of 25% albumin intravenously, then reevaluate central venous pressure and central venous oxygen saturation.
Transfuse 1 unit packed red blood cells.
Administer 80 mg furosemide intravenously.
Transfuse 1 unit packed red blood cells and administer 80 mg furosemide intravenously.
Infuse boluses of isotonic saline until the central venous pressure is 8 to 12 mmHg, then recheck central venous oxygen saturation.
Rate this question:
Intravenous crystalloid, initiated before hospital arrival.
Mannitol.
Dopamine.
Furosemide.
N-acetyl-cysteine
Rate this question:
Acyclovir.
Adefovir.
Cidofovir.
Foscarnet.
Zidovudine.
Rate this question:
He should be listed for a combined liver kidney transplant.
He should not be considered a candidate for liver transplantation.
A trial of therapy with vasopressin analogues or octreotide and midodrine should be initiated before liver transplantation
He should undergo liver transplantation only if his renal function improves after placement of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).
Renal replacement therapy is contraindicated.
Rate this question:
Urine pH
Volume depletion
Preexisting renal disease
Increased uric acid excretion
All of the above
Rate this question:
Allopurinol
Colchicine
Losartan
Rasburicase
Febuxostat
Rate this question:
Continuous arteriovenous hemodiafiltration (CAVHDF) is associated with improved survival compared with intermittent hemodialysis.
Continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD) provides better solute control than continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH).
Sustained low-efficiency dialysis (SLED) and extended daily dialysis (EDD) are associated with improved survival compared with intermittent hemodialysis.
Continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) is associated with improved survival as compared with peritoneal dialysis.
Sustained low-efficiency dialysis (SLED) and extended daily dialysis (EDD) are associated with improved survival as compared with continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH).
Rate this question:
90–105 mg/dL
110–149 mg/dL
150–180 mg/dL
90–110 mg/dL
100–160 mg/dL
Rate this question:
Measure eGFR and preoperative and postoperative albuminuria (0–6 hours after surgery)
Measure eGFR and preoperative albuminuria
Measure eGFR only
Measure eGFR and postoperative albuminuria (0–6 hours after surgery)
Rate this question:
Her creatinine increase is only 1.0 mg/dL, and additional volume administration is needed to improve AKI
She needs 5 % albumin to improve creatinine levels and AKI
Her elevation in creatinine is actually an underestimation in view of her weight gain
There is no relationship between volume expansion and creatinine level
None of the above
Rate this question:
The incidence of AKI in patients with renal cancer is approximately 44 %
The incidence of AKI is at least threefold higher in patients with cancer compared to those without cancer
Sepsis is the most common cause of AKI in critically ill patients with cancer
Chemotherapeutic agents are least likely causes of AKI
Medication-induced mucositis may limit oral intake and may precipitate prerenal AKI
Rate this question:
Splanchnic vasodilation
Translocation of bacterial flora from intestine to mesenteric lymph nodes
Activation of vasoconstrictor system and nonosmotic release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
Renal cortical vasoconstriction
All of the above
Rate this question:
Discontinue lisinopril now
Discontinue lisinopril immediately before surgery
Continue lisinopril throughout the perioperative period
Increase the lisinopril dose
Rate this question:
She should receive blood products for volume resuscitation.
She should receive hetastarch for volume resuscitation.
She should receive crystalloid for volume resuscitation.
Because colloid remains in the intravascular space, it is as cost-effective to volume resuscitate her with colloid as crystalloid.

Normal saline at 100 ml/h
NAC 1200-mg intravenous bolus every 6 hours for four doses
