Assessing Renal Function • • • •
Creatinine clearance as an estimate of GFR BUN Creatinine / BUN ratio (ex. >20:1) Creatinine clearance <50 and <25
Assessing Renal Function • Mathematically

The Renal System & Anesthesia
Systems Involved Cardiac- Decreased CO = decreased RBF including regional anesthesia • Neuro- Light anesthesia = increased sympathetic outflow • Endocrine- reflect physiologic changes Increased ADH?

Effects of Renal Dysfunction on Anesthetic Drugs
Barbiturates Benzodiazepines Vapors Nitrous oxide Muscle relaxants Anticholinergics H2 Blockers Narcotics
Effects of Anesthesia on Renal Function Surgical effects Pneumoperitoneum, cross clamping and direct ureteral injury
Diuretics • Decrease re-absorption of Na+ and H20 • Results in increased volume at the expense of electrolyte disturbances

Osmotic • • • • • • • • •
Increase osmotic gradient Mannitol - filtered and excreted Greater H20 than Na+ Hyponatremia to hypernatremia Electrolytes Decreased ICP Jump start kidneys Oliguric to non-oliguric Central pontine myelinolysis
Loop • Interfere with Na+/K+/2Cl- at thick ascending portion • Furosemide • Bumetanide • Ethacrynic acid • CHF, hypertension, oliguria, hypercalcemia • Electrolyte disturbances
Thiazide • • • • • • •
Increase Na+ excretion at the distal tubule Weak HCTZ Metolazone Indapamide Some carbonic anhydrase activity CHF, hypertension and hypercalcemia

Potassium Sparing • • • • • •
Aldosterone antagonists Anti-androgenic Spironolactone Work only if aldosterone levels are high Liver Failure CHF
Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors • Affects proximal tubule Na+ and H+ reabsorption which results in HCO3- wasting • Alkalinization of urine • Decreases intraocular pressure • Decreases HCO3-
Other Diuretics • Methylxanthines • Cardiac glycosides
