Know these Labs
Normal Urine per hr= 30mL/hr
-Creatine 0.6-1.2= Best indicator of kidney function
-BUN- 10-20 (if higher effected by stress, dehydration)
-WBC- 5-10,000
-Hemoglobin-
-Albumin-3.5-5.0
-Lipase-0-110
-Potassium- 3.5-5.0...Opposite relationship to NA.......(K=Assess heart EKG)
-Sodium- 135-145.....Opposite relationship to K ….......(Na=Assess LOC Nuero check)
-Calcium- 9-10.5
-Phosphorous- 2-4.5
MAP – 65-100 or more normal (perfusion to vital organs) = 2(Diastolic BP)+ (Systolic BP) /3
GFR- 90 or higher
Remember: Low sodium; high potassium for fluid overload; High sodium; low potassium for dehydration
AKI= Acute kidney injury- rapid loss of kidney function from renal cell damage build up of ammonia
-Onset- abrupt and reversible
-S/S- 1st sign decrease urine output, oliguria less than .5mL/kg/hr , azotomia, w/ progression = fluid overload signs; Bowels=urinary
retention; high Bp, high pulse, bounding;; crackles in lungs. (xray); infiltration; skin= edema, anascara; confusion, low sp02, increased RR;
reduced perfusion signs= MAP below 65, HR up, thready pulse, respiratory alkalosis PH low SpO2 88% ;SOB, REMEMEBR assess for
hypotension and tachycardia= SHOCK);
Assess for fluid overload- low o2 stat, edema, BP up, dyspnea, SOB, tachycardia, JVD, crackles, (Dx Xray:
infiltration); hyperventilating, resp alkalosis (Dx ABG)
-Patho- GFR decrease (filtration); can be hours or days = tell HCP if decrease in urine output (less than 30ml/hr)
-Causes- prerenal (prefusion); dehydration ,blood loss, cardiac output, heart failure, cardiogenic shock, infection, obstruction, NG suctioning,
sepsis, Vomiting/diarrhea, hypertension
intrarenal (in renal): myoglobinuria, BPH, tubular necrosis, renal ischemia, obstruction, nephrotoxicity, intrarenal infection; acute Poly
nephritis, contrast, mycins antibiotics (peak and trough), NSAIDS, naproxen,
post renal (after renal) blockage; bladder neck obstruction, bladder cancer, calculi, post renal infection, tumor
-4 phases=initiation/ onset; oliguric phase, Diuretic phase, recovery phase
1. Onset phase – decrease urine output 1-3 weeks
2. Oliguric phase= 1-3 weeks; less than 400mL/24hrs, High specific gravity; S/S anorexia, N/V, decreased urine output
3. Diuretic phase- 3-6L per day, low specific gravity; output 1000-200mL/day (have foley catheter monitor urine output)
replace fluids monitor electrolytes; may need dialysis ; Polyuria can be sign of recovery
4. recovery phase- 12month or less
Renin- angiotensin 1 and 2 = retention of sodium and retention of water

no anemia related to AKI
Nursing interventions= VS; I&O, daily weights (1 lb per day = fluid retention); labs BUN , creatine, electrolytes; acidosis (treat w/ sodium
bicarb); 2L of fluid per day; avoid/prevent HYPOtension
Assess for fluid overload- low o2 stat, edema, BP up, dyspnea, SOB, tachycardia, JVD, crackles, (Dx Xray: Infiltration);
hyperventilating, resp alkalosis (Dx ABG)
Meds- diuretics
Diet (mod protein, high carb); restrict potassium & sodium; avoid nephrotoxic meds; if poor appetite enteral or parenteral nutrition

Teaching- low sodium, low potassium, low phosphorous, high carb diet; only specific moderate proteins,
Complication- Pericarditis- (sac around heart) painful, pleuritic pain, friction rub, tachycardia, fever monitor for bleeding, seizures
Page 1378- physical assessment S/S- “early stages of AKI sp02- 88%” Hypoxemia (tachycardia, low BP= SHOCK) -S/S- decrease urine
output, oliguria less than .5mL/kg/hr , azotomia, w/ progression = fluid overload signs; Bowels=urinary retention; high Bp, high
1
, pulse, bounding;; crackles in lungs. (xray); infiltration; skin= edema, anascara; confusion, low sp02, increased RR; reduced perfusion
signs= MAP below 65, HR up, thready pulse, respiratory alkalosis PH low SpO2 88% ;SOB,
Page 1379 (Labatory profile table) creatine increase 1-2 every 24-48 hrs; increase 1-6 in 1 week or less; elevated potassium and
magnesium; elevated blood osmolarity
Page 1380-Interventions Nephrotoxic agents- Assess kidney function before contrast; NO /low contrast hydrate before (1mL/kg/
12hr)& after (3mLkg/1hr), Mycins antibiotic (peak and trough) avoid NSAIDS (Celecoxib, Ibuprophen, ketorolac, naproxen)
Page 1380- “monitor fluid and electrolytes in diuretic phase” Diuretic phase- 3-6L per day, low specific gravity; output 1000-
200mL/day (have foley catheter monitor urine output) replace fluids monitor electrolytes; may need dialysis ; Polyuria can be sign
of recovery
Page 1381 (Nutrional therapy) Assess food intake every shift; input equal to output + 500mL; low sodium, low potassium, low
phosphorous, high carb diet; only specific Proteins, MODERATE PROTEIN; HIGH CARB

Fowlers position; can be done in patient home; once week; give stool softener; clear fluid ( cloudy bad = peritonitis), no machine, no partner
Page 1379- creatine increase 0.5-1mg/dL every 1-2 years; potassium up; phosphorus up; blood osmolarity up ; ABG down Metabolic
acidosis; hemocrit down
