Definition
6
Definition Acute renal failure is sudden loss of the ability of the kidneys to excrete wastes, concentrate urine, and conserve electrolytes. ("Acute" means sudden, "renal" refers to the kidneys.)
Definition .Chronic renal
failure is a gradual and progressive loss of the ability of the kidneys to excrete wastes, concentrate urine, and conserve electrolytes.

![Page 24: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Abnormally dark or light skin Paleness Nail abnormalities Breath odor High blood pressure Loss of appetite Agitation
![Page 25: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Signs (ARF)
25
Lab values may change suddenly (within a few days to 2 weeks):
Urinalysis may be abnormal. Serum creatinine may increase by
2 mg/dl or more over a 2-week period.
Creatinine clearance may be decreased.
![Page 26: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Signs (ARF)
26
BUN may increase suddenly. Serum potassium levels may be increased.
Arterial blood gas and blood chemistries may show metabolic acidosis.
![Page 27: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Signs (ARF)
27
Kidney or abdominal ultrasound is usually the best test, but abdominal x-ray, abdominal CT scan or abdominal MRI may also reveal the cause of acute renal failure. Kidney size is usually normal or slightly large.
![Page 28: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Signs (ARF)
28
Chemical tests of blood and urine may also help to distinguish the causes. A clean catch urine specimen will indicate if the cause is infection within the urinary tract.
![Page 29: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Signs (ARF)
29
Renal angiography (renal arteriography) may be used to diagnose causes within the blood vessels of the kidney.
![Page 30: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Signs (CRF)
30
Blood pressure may be high, with mild to severe hypertension. A neurologic examination may show polyneuropathy. Abnormal heart or lung sounds may be heard with a stethoscope.
![Page 31: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Signs (CRF)
31
A urinalysis may show protein or other abnormalities. An abnormal urinalysis may occur 6 months to 10 or more years before symptoms appear.
Creatinine levels progressively increase.
![Page 32: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Signs (CRF)
32
BUN is progressively increased. Creatinine clearance progressively
decreases. Potassium test may show elevated
levels. Arterial blood gas and
blood chemistry analysis may show metabolic acidosis.
![Page 33: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Signs (CRF)
33
Changes that indicate chronic renal failure, including both kidneys being smaller than normal, may be seen on:
Renal or abdominal x-ray.Abdominal CT scan.Abdominal MRI.Abdominal ultrasound.
![Page 34: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Signs (CRF)
34
This disease may also alter the results of the following tests:
Urinary casts Renal scan Pth Serum magnesium - test Erythropoietin
![Page 35: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Care & Management (ARF)
35
The goal of treatment is to identify and treat any reversible causes of the kidney failure (e.G., Use of kidney-toxic medications, obstructive uropathy, volume depletion).
![Page 36: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Care & Management (ARF)
36
Treatment also focuses on preventing excess accumulation of fluids and wastes, while allowing the kidneys to heal and gradually resume their normal function. Hospitalization is required for treatment and monitoring.
![Page 37: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Care & Management (ARF)
37
Your fluid intake may be severely restricted to an amount equal to the volume of urine you produce. You may be given specific dietary modifications to reduce build-up of toxins normally handled by the kidneys, including a diet plan high in carbohydrates and low in protein, salt, and potassium.
![Page 38: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Care & Management (ARF)
38
Antibiotics may be used to treat or prevent infection. Diuretics may be used to remove fluid from the kidney.
![Page 39: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Care & Management (ARF)
39
A major priority in treatment is to control dangerous hyperkalemia (increased blood potassium levels). A variety of different medications may be used, including IV (intravenous) calcium, glucose/insulin, and oral or rectal administration of potassium exchange resin (kayexalate).
![Page 40: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Care & Management (ARF)
40
Dialysis may be used to remove excess waste and fluids. This often makes the person feel better and may make the kidney failure easier to control. Dialysis may not be necessary for all people, but is frequently lifesaving, particularly if serum potassium is dangerously high.
![Page 41: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Care & Management (ARF)
41
Common symptoms that require the use of dialysis include decreased mental status, pericarditis, increased potassium levels, total lack of urine production, fluid overload, and uncontrolled accumulation of nitrogen waste products (serum creatinine > 10 mg/dl and BUN > 120 mg/dl).
![Page 42: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Care & Management (CRF)
42
Treatment focuses on controlling the symptoms, minimizing complications, and slowing the progression of the disease.
![Page 43: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Care & Management (CRF)
43
Associated diseases that cause or result from chronic renal failure must be controlled. Hypertension, congestive heart failure, urinary tract infections, kidney stones, obstructions of the urinary tract, glomerulonephritis, and other disorders should be treated as appropriate.
![Page 44: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Care & Management (CRF)
44
Blood transfusions or medications such as iron and erythropoietin supplements may be needed to control anemia.
Fluid intake may be restricted, often to an amount equal to the volume of urine produced. Dialysis or kidney transplant may be required eventually.
![Page 45: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Care & Management (CRF)
45
Dietary protein restriction may slow the build-up of wastes in the bloodstream and control associated symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Salt, potassium, phosphorus, and other electrolytes may be restricted.
![Page 46: 42 care of patient with renal failure](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5551611db4c9059f768b4ebf/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
