Acute Renal Failure - Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Therapy
(ASN Board Review, 2005). Part 1: How do we define acute renal failure (ARF)? What are the new RIFLE criteria? How do we diagnose ARF? How useful is the fractional excretion of urea? How does ARF impact on mortality? How do new theories of hepatorenal syndrome help us manage this condition? What is the abdominal compartment syndrome? How do we diagnose post-renal ARF? Interstitial nephritis? Acute vascular syndromes, and in particular, those due to atheroembolic disease?
Part 2: How does ATN present? You know about its 3 causes, but did you know about its 4 phases? Necrosis or apoptosis? What's the pathogenesis? How can renal inflammation associated with ATN affect distal organs like the heart? How can we prevent contrast nephropathy? Are low osmolar or iso-osmolar dyes useful? Is saline the gold standard? Is bicarbonate better? Can we reconcile all of the studies of N-acetylcysteine? What about fenoldopam? Theophylline? Preventive hemofiltration? Does low-dose dopamine have a role in ARF? Atrial natriuretic peptide? Are KIM-1 and NGAL of clinical use as novel markers of renal injury? Does early initiation of dialysis or CRRT help in ARF? What are the latest studies comparing intermittent HD with CRRT? What about PD and SLED? Membrane biocompatibility? More frequent (daily) intermittent dialysis?

This quiz by Dr. Michael Kraus and Dr. Ed Sha deals with ANTICOAGULATION IN CRRT
. It discusses the various anticoagulation methods available, their relative utility, and indications.
Note: Feedback section works with Internet Explorer only.

Try Dr. Kraus's MODALITY CHOICE IN THE ICU
poll. This poll queries the physician and RN audience with regard to how often CRRT is used in their ICUs,
what type of CRRT is chosen, how much replacement fluid is ordered, and what sort of anticoagulation is used.
