Question
What is a renal cause of AKI?
Answer
inj d/t dysfn of renal parenchyma.

look for:
-systemic ft's (ds could also be affecting kidneys)
-HTN (NB: hypo for pre-renal)

--Give Calcium Gluconate IV

(2) Shift potassium into cells

--IV or inhaled beta2‐agonist

(3) Potassium excretion
--90% renal - ↑ ECFV w/ IV saline to promote flow to CCD, then give IV furosemide
--10% GI - promote diarrhea (cation exchange resins) -
avoid post-op use

Question
Five Steps to Solving Acid Base Problems
Answer
(1) Look at the pH: Acidemia vs Alkalemia

(2) What is the primary problem?:
Compare HCO3 vs pCO2

(3) Is there adequate compensation?
met acid = 1:1 (pCO2)
met alk = 1:0.7 (pCO2)
R acid A = 1:10 (pCO2)
R acid C = 3:10 (pCO2)
R alk A = 2:10 (pCO2)
R alk C = 5:10 (pCO2)

(4) a) What is the Anion Gap?
AG = Na – (Cl + HCO3)
--Normal is 12 +/‐ 2 mmol/L

b) Is there an Osmolar Gap?
Osmolar gap = Osm(meas) – Osm(calc)
Osm(calc) = 2Na + Urea + Glucose
--Normal is upto 10 mosm/kg

(5) Is there another metabolic disorder?
Does the Δ AG = Δ HCO3?
Δ AG = Δ HCO3 (only AGMA)
Δ AG < Δ HCO3 (AGMA + met alk)
Δ AG > Δ HCO3 (AGMA + NAGMA)

Question
how do you dx bladder cancer?
Answer
--urine tests (cytology) - 98% SP, 34% SN - operator-dependent - detects shed cells in urine
--imaging (CT abdo/pelvis = best; or abdo u/s)
--cystoscopy
--bx - transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) for pathology

Question
What is the mgmt for non-msc invasive UC?
Answer
--TURBT = dx & rx
--single dose IV chemo post-op (kills remaining cells post-TURBT)
--surveillance cystoscopy
--surveillance of upper tracts (ureters & kidney) - ~5% risk of upper tract cancer
--intravesical rx for induction & maintenance (prevent progression)​
  • immunotherapy (BCG)

Question
What is the mgmt for msc-invasive UC?
Answer
--TURBT is mainly for dx
--major extirpative therapy + reconstruction (ileal conduit, neobladder) - removal of bladder
--adjunct - chemo (neo = increased survival; post-surg = less evidence)
--bladder-sparing options - aggressive TURBT
