Reversible
Determining prognosis- kidneys respond to diuretic
Acute renal failure
with good output; this indicates that kidneys are
functioning well
Diagnosing by clinical symptoms alone can be
difficult; can be similar to cystitis
Diagnosis established by:
-Urine culture
Acute Pyelonephritis
-Urinalysis (WBC casts indicates pyelonephritis, but
may not always be present)
-Signs/Symptoms
-Complicated pyelonephritis requires blood cultures
and urinary tract imaging
Goals of Treatment:
Manage acute pain
Renal Calculi (Renal
Promote passage of stone
Stones)
Reduce size of stone
Prevent new stone formation

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive loss of
renal function associated with systemic disease such
as hypertension, diabetes mellitus (most significant
Chronic Renal Failure risk factor), systemic lupus erythematosus or intrinsic
kidney disease
CKD stage is determined by estimates of GFR and
albuminuria
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is the final stage of
CKD with the number one cause being diabetes
mellitus combined with hypertension. At this point, the
patient is completely dependent on dialysis to survive.
CKD is classified into five stages and is based on the
patient's GFR rather than symptoms.
Patients will need dialysis when the following
symptoms are present:
--Metabolic acidosis.
Who is a candidate for --Hyperkalemia: Hyperkalemia in the presence of EKG
dialysis? changes (peaked T-waves) is an indication for dialysis.
--Hyperkalemia by itself is not an indication for
dialysis.
--Drug toxicity: Drug toxicity due to the following
drugs is an indication for dialysis and include
salicylates, Lithium, Isopropanol, Methanol and
Ethylene glycol).
--Fluid volume overload that is not responsive to
diuretics.
--Uremic symptoms due to nitrogenous wastes in the
blood stream.
There is kidney damage with normal or elevated GFR
Stage I CKD
90-120
There is kidney damage with mild decrease in GFR
Stage II CKD
60-89
There is a moderate decrease in GFR
Stage III CKD
30-59

There is a severe decrease in GFR
Stage IV CKD
15-29
Kidney failure- End-stage renal disease
<15 (dialysis) Once Stage IV is reached, progression to
Stage V CKD
Stage V is inevitable as well as dialysis or kidney
transplant
Anemia
Hypertension
Decreased calcium absorption
Hyperlipidemia
Heart failure
Complications of Left ventricular hypertrophy
Decreased GFR Fluid volume overload
Hyperkalemia
Hyperparathyroidism
Hyperphosphatemia
Metabolic acidosis
Malnutrition (late complication)
Warning signs include:
Symptoms over age of 50:
-Dysphagia (difficulty
swallowing)
-Odynophagia (pain on
GERD swallowing)
-Nausea and vomiting
-Weight loss
-Melena
-Early satiety (feeling full after
eating very little food
