Renal Anatomy and Physiology
The kidneys are two bean shaped organs, located just below the inferior boundary of the rib cage.
Each kidney can function independently of the other. Each adult kidney weighs approximately 110 – 170 grams and is about the size of a human fist.
The adult kidneys receive 1200 millilitres of blood (25% of cardiac output) every minute. That is 72 litres per hour or 1728 litres per day.
Normal kidney function is measured in terms of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Normal GFR is typically 90-120 millilitres per minute. An estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) can be calculated based on age and serum creatinine Copyright © 2015 NIKKISO Co., LTD. All rights reserved.
6
Component of the Kidney
Consists mainly of 3 parts: Medulla contains 20% of the nephrons that filter the blood and concentrate urine. An important diagnostic tool.
Cortex contains 80% of the nephrons to filter the blood continuously to maintain fluid balance.
Renal pelvis is the start of the collecting system, containing the collecting tubules and the ureter. Copyright © 2015 NIKKISO Co., LTD. All rights reserved.

Components of the Kidney
The kidney functions using three principles: • Ultrafiltration • Excretion • Re-absorption
Copyright © 2015 NIKKISO Co., LTD. All rights reserved.
8
Components of the Kidney – The Nephron Nephron – Is the functional unit of the kidney. Each kidney has about one million nephrons
Each nephron contains a glomerulus, which functions as an individual filtering unit
The nephron also contains tubules for secretion and absorption of substances
Copyright © 2015 NIKKISO Co., LTD. All rights reserved.
9
Components of the Kidney
The Glomerulus; The glomerulus consists of a group of cells with selective permeability. Selective permeability means that certain substances will cross the membrane and others will not be allowed to cross. Through selective permeability, the kidney regulates fluid and electrolyte balance. In an adult, the kidneys produce approximately 180 litres of filtrate per day. Only 1.5 - 2 litres are excreted as urine. The remaining 178 litres are reabsorbed by the kidney.

Functions of the Kidney
Fluid balance Through ultrafiltration and reabsorption. Electrolyte balance Through reabsorption and excretion. Acid-base balance Through reabsorption and excretion. Excretion of drugs and by-products of metabolism Nitrogen, urea, creatinine. Synthesis of erythropoietin Stimulates bone marrow to produce mature red blood cells. Regulation of blood pressure Through the secretion of renin. Maintenance of calcium-phosphate balance Through the activation of vitamin D production. Copyright © 2015 NIKKISO Co., LTD.

Aquarius System Acute Kidney Injury
Copyright © 2015 NIKKISO Co., LTD. All rights reserved.
Acute Kidney Injury Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) results from the sudden loss of kidney function. AKI in the setting of critical care patients is defined as “..an abrupt decline in glomerular filtration rate.” Jefferson et al (2007) Waste products will start to accumulate in the blood.
AKI may be accompanied by metabolic, acid-base and electrolyte disturbances and fluid overload.
AKI may affect other organ systems. AKI may require immediate treatment. Jefferson JA, Schrier RW. Pathophysiology and Etiology of Acute Renal Failure. In: Comprehensive Clinical Nephrology. 3rd ed. Philadelphia, PA: Mosby Elsevier; 2007:755-770.

RIFLE Criteria
The Acute Dialysis Quality Improvement Initiative (ADQI) Recommends the Classification of AKI based on the RIFLE criteria.

Acute Kidney Injury Classification There are 3 types of Acute Kidney Injury Classification
Pre-Renal
Renal (Intra-Renal)
Post-Renal
Copyright © 2015 NIKKISO Co., LTD. All rights reserved.
17
AKI Classification: Pre-Renal Pre-renal failure typically results from decreased blood flow to the kidneys. The reduction in glomerular filtration enables the solutes in the blood to accumulate but does not cause any structural damage to the kidney itself. Examples of situations leading to pre-renal failure may include: – dehydration – haemorrhage Pre renal 30-60% – congestive heart failure (think „p‟ for pressure) – sepsis – embolism/thrombosis • Volume depletion • Decreased circulating volume • Reduced cardiac output • Renal vascular disease
Copyright © 2015 NIKKISO Co., LTD. All rights reserved.
18
AKI Classification: Renal (Intra-Renal) Renal (Intra-renal) failure typically involves direct injury to the kidney itself. The most common cause is Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN). Some causes of ATN are: – Ischaemia – Hypertension – Nephrotoxins – Some systemic vascular diseases such as lupus. . Intra-Renal 20-40% (think “I” for infection) • Glomerular infection • Vascular • Nephritis
Copyright © 2015 NIKKISO Co., LTD. All rights reserved.
19
AKI Classification: Post Renal In post-renal failure, the underlying cause is typically a bilateral obstruction below the level of the renal pelvis. Causes for this may be: – Tumour development – Thrombi – Urinary tract obstruction – Hypertrophic prostate. Post renal 1 – 10% (think „o‟ for obstruction) • • • •
Obstruction Ureters Bladder Urethra

Nephrotoxic Drugs
Nephrotoxicity is the poisonous effect on the kidneys caused by toxic
chemicals and medication. Drug-induced AKI is common in critical illness and accounts for 15% to 25% of all cases of renal failure seen in this population. The medications implicated in causing drug-induced AKI can be classified based on their mechanism of renal injury; pre-renal, intra-renal and postrenal. The mechanisms of toxicity are complex and, in many cases, affect more than one aspect of kidney function. All NSAIDs have been associated with AKI, and consideration should be given to either avoid their use or, when indicated, use with extreme caution.

Copyright © 2015 NIKKISO Co., LTD. All rights reserved.
21
Nephrotoxic Drugs - Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs Volume contraction from any cause or other forms of pre-renal AKI (cirrhosis, congestive heart failure) will increase the incidence of and severity of nephrotoxicity due to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Conditions such as a. b. c. d.
Congestive heart failure Hypotension Volume depletion 3rd spacing
These conditions all decrease effective arterial volume. These are conditions that predispose the patient to NSAID-induced nephrotoxicity.

22
Nephrotoxic Drugs- ACE Inhibitors & others
ACE inhibitors ACE inhibitors are commonly prescribed drugs used for hypertension, congestive heart failure and chronic kidney disease. These drugs affect renal haemodynamics through an decrease in efferent arteriolar tone and intraglomerular capillary pressure. The use of these drugs under normal circumstances when renal perfusion is adequate poses very little problem. However when these drugs are used in states of prerenal azotemia, renal artery stenosis or concomitantly with other drugs such as NSAIDs, renal failure may occur. Other drugs that cause altered glomerular haemodynamic instability Drugs such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus, belong to a class of commonly used immunosuppressant's for organ transplantation referred to as calcineurin inhibitors. Calcineurin inhibitors are associated with early prerenal oliguria due to vasoconstriction Bentley, M.L., Corwin H.L., Dasta J.

23
Begins when urine output begins to rise
Has variable time frames, sometimes occurring as little as 24 hours after the onset of renal failure Associated with potassium and sodium loss in the urine Enhanced urine output may not reflect restored kidney function but rather may be the result of accumulating serum urea and creatinine, which have an osmotic diuretic effect
Recovery phase
Low urine output (less than 400 mL/24 hrs) Possibly protein in the urine Electrolyte imbalances Metabolic acidosis
Polyuric phase
Oliguric phase
Phases of Acute Kidney Injury
May
last several months following the onset of the Acute Kidney Injury
During this period, kidney function gradually returns to normal and proper urine concentrations and volumes are achieved

Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Goals
Clean the blood Manage Intravascular volume Wastes are cleaned from the blood by diffusion and convection. Water is removed by ultrafiltration.
Copyright © 2015 NIKKISO Co., LTD. All rights reserved.
Defining The Therapy Early application of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) may prove to be beneficial to the patient. CRRT is a therapy indicated for continuous solute removal in the critically ill patient.
CRRT allows for continuous, slow and isotonic fluid removal that results in better haemodynamic tolerance even in unstable patients with shock and severe fluid overload. CRRT can be modified at any time of the day and night to allow adaptation to the rapidly changing haemodynamic situation of critically ill patients. CRRT therapy indications may be renal, non-renal, or a combination of both. It is the treatment of choice for the critically ill patient requiring renal support and/or fluid management.

Replacement Fluid
Accusol 35 is a bicarbonate based solution primarily intended for use in patients with hyperkalaemia.
Accusol 35 solution gives health care providers a convenient and easy-touse solution for the patient‟s CRRT needs. It is completely lactate-free, with a 100% bicarbonate buffer that provides all the necessary electrolytes. Accusol solution comes in ready-to-mix formulations with varying potassium levels

55
Accusol 35
Accusol 35 purifies blood of waste products; it corrects acidity or alkalinity the level of salts in the blood.
Accuosl 35 solutions are supplied in a non PVC bag with two chambers containing bicarbonate and calcium. The chambers need to be spilt and mixed before use. Once mixed the solution lasts for 24 hours.
Accusol 35 works closely with the body‟s natural chemistry to maintain electrolyte balance during therapy and restore haemodynamic stability

Measurement of therapy dose
Therapy dose is a measure of the quantity of blood purification achieved. The concept of clearance represents the volume of blood cleared of a given solute over time.
Commonly used solute markers to quantify clearance are serum Urea and Creatinine.
Best clinical practices combine clearance and dosing effectiveness using a weight-related dosage of therapy
On Aquarius, therapy dose is defined by the total ultrafiltration rate and is expressed as millilitres (therapy amount) per kilogramme (patient weight) per hour (time) or ml/kg/hr Copyright © 2015 NIKKISO Co., LTD. All rights reserved.
58
Prescribed vs Delivered Dose Prescription should exceed that calculated to be adequate because of the known gap. 8ml/kg/hr less
Prescribed dose of therapy should be assessed daily to account for any measured shortfalls in delivered dose.
Delivered dose of therapy should be assessed to ensure the adequacy of the prescription. According to Vesconi et al (2009) in practice the delivered therapy dose was on average 8ml/kg/hr less.

Clinical Evidence for Therapy Dose
Landmark studies suggest that increasing therapy dose improved survival1 Recent studies find no difference in survival between 25 and 40 ml/kg/hr therapy dose2,3
Higher therapy doses (40 ml/kg/hr) did not alter mortality in the subgroup of sepsis patients.
How may clinicians use the evolving evidence base to choose an appropriate therapy dose?

The target is to limit the risk of circuit coagulation and at the same time to limit the Hemorrhage risk for the patient . The coagulation activation is due to: Exogenous causes: extracorporeal circuit i.e. lines and the filter that is in contact with the blood. If no anticoagulation is used the thrombosis is ineluctable with the following consequences: Renal dose reduction Blood loss and loss of the coagulation factors Increase of the workload and the cost of the therapy

How does Heparin work? Heparin inhibits reactions that lead to the clotting of blood and the formation of fibrin clots.
Heparin acts at multiple sites in the normal coagulation system. Small amounts of heparin in combination with antithrombin III (heparin cofactor) can inhibit thrombosis by inactivating activated Factor X and inhibiting the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin.
Heparin prevents the formation of a stable fibrin clot by inhibiting the activation of the fibrin stabilizing factor.
Bleeding time is usually unaffected by heparin.
Clotting time is prolonged by full therapeutic doses of heparin. Heparin does not have fibrinolytic activity; therefore, it will not lyse existing clots. Copyright © 2015 NIKKISO Co., LTD. All rights reserved.

How does Regional Citrate Anticoagulatin (RCA) work? Citrate is added to the extracorporeal circuit pre-filter. It chelates or combines with ionized Calcium (free Calcium) in the filter by forming Ca-Citrate complexes, thus removing Ca needed in coagulation cascade, anticoagulant effect.
Majority of these complexes are removed in the filter, some pass on to the systemic circulation.
Ca gets infused post-filter to restore iCa. Ca-Citrate complexes get metabolized in liver, muscle & kidney (Krebs cycle; aerobic) releasing Ca & forming Bicarbonate (1:3), buffer effect.
Anticoagulant effect is limited to the filter. Copyright © 2015 NIKKISO Co., LTD. All rights reserved.

Advantages related to Citrate
Citrate is safer than nadroparin anticoagulation in CRRT. Citrate is recommended in patients who require CRRT but are at high risk of bleeding (Only the extracorporeal circuit is anticoagulated).
Monitoring can be performed to tightly control infusion rates. Can be performed in combination with standard CRRT equipment.
