•Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
Life-threatening disease process
•AKI occurs in
•
≈
7% of hospitalized patients.
•36 – 67% of critically ill patients
(depending on the definition).
•5-6% of ICU patients with AKI require RRT.

Definition of AKI
There are more than 35 definitions of AKI
(formerly acute renal failure) in literature!
ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY (AKI)
(Cedera Ginjal Akut)
DEFINITION :
AKI is an abrupt (less then 7 days) and sustained decrease in
kidney function.
•changes in blood biochemistry : increased of serum
creatinine, blood urea nitrogen
•decreased of urine out put in 80-90% cases (10-20%
normal or increase) or both
•kidney function used to be normal
When the patient has a previous episode of kidney disease,
the term is : Acute on Chronic Kidney Disease (ACKD)

CAUSES OF AKI
Causes of AKI divided into three matter :
1.Prerenal :
Decreased of renal perfusion (hypoperfusion)
2.Renal (Intrinsic)
Damage of parenchyma of the kidney (glomeruli,
tubules, intra-renal vasculature, interstitial nephritis)
3.Post-renal
Obstruction of urinary tract
Major Disease Categories Causing AKI
Disease Category Incidence
Prerenal azotemia caused by acute renal
hypoperfusion
55-60%
Intrinsic renal azotemia caused by acute diseases of
renal parenchyma:
-Large renal vessels dis.
-Small renal vessels and glomerular dis.
-ATN (ischemic and toxic)
-Tubulo-interestitial dis.
-Intratubular obstruccttion
35-40%
*>90%*
Postrenal azotemia caused by acute obstruction of
the urinary tract
<5%
Prerenal Azotemia
The most common cause of AKI (30-50% of all cases)
A rapidly reversible process
A diminished renal blood flow efective arterial
↓
blood flow
Absolute reduction in the volume of ECF (eg.
hypovolemia)
Effective circulating volume is reduced (eg. CHF)
Need additional information beyond the physical
examination to ascertain a measure organ perfusion
(invasive cardiac monitoring & FE
Na+
)
Prerenal Azotemia
PRERENAL CAUSES OF AKI
1.Shock :
•cardiogenic ahock
•distributive shock (e.g.sepsis, anaphylactic)
2.Hypovolemia – hypovolemic shock
•haemorhage
•gastrointestinal loss (vomiting, diarrhea)
•cutaneous losses (e.g.burns)
3.Renal hypoperfusion
•renal artery stenosis
•hepatorenal syndrome
4.Changes of water distribution (oedema)
•congestive heart failiure
•hepatic failure
•nephrotic syndrome
POST-RENAL CAUSES OF AKI
BPH
Prostate cancer
Cervical cancer
Retroperitoneal fibrosis
Retroperitoneal lymphoma
Metastatic carcinoma
Nephrolithiasis
urethral stricture
Blood clots
Prerenal
Renal
Postrenal
Clinical Findings – Symptoms & Signs
Limited, non diagnostic, unrecognized laboratory

Related to azotemia and due to underlying cause
Symptoms
Decrease in urine output and dark and cola-colored
urine
Azotemic anorexia, nausea, malaise, metallic taste,
itching, confusion, fluid retention, hypertension
Physical examinations
Volume overload, pericardial friction rub, asterixis
Clinical Findings – Laboratory Findings
Elevations of the BUN and serum creatinine

Proposed criteria for the initiation of renal replacement therapy
in adult critically ill patients
1.Oliguria (urine output < 200 ml/12 hr)
2.Anuria/extreme oliguria (urine output < 50 ml/12 hr)
3.Hyperkalemia ([K+] > 6.5 mmol/liter)
4.Severe acidemia (pH < 7.1)
5.Azotemia ([urea] > 30 mmol/liter)
6.Clinically significant organ (especially lung) edema
7.Uremic enchepalopathy
8.Uremic pericarditis
9.Uremic neuropathy/myopathy
10.Severe dysnatremia ([Na] > 160 or < 15 mmol/liter)
11.Hyperthermia/Hypothermia
12.Drug overdose with dialysable toxin
The presence of :
- one of the above criteria is sufficient to initiate renal replacement therapy in a critically ill
patients
- two of these criteria makes renal replacement urgent and mandatory.
- combined derangements suggest initiation of renal replacement therapy even before the above
mentioned limits have been reached.

Deferential diagnosis between
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and
Acute on Chronic Kidney Disease (ACKD) :
Prognosis
50% survival rate
Prognosis of hospitalized patients depend on the
site
Survival influenced by the severity of underlying
illnesses & number of failed organs
Mortality increases proportionately with increasing
severity of AKI (using RIFLE).
AKI requiring RRT is an independent risk factor for
in-hospital mortality.
Mortality in pts with AKI requiring RRT 50-70%.
Even small changes in serum creatinine are
associated with increased mortality.
