Treatment
(1)Acute renal failure
Treat the underlying cause,catheterize to monitor urine volume.
Reduce hyperkalemia through the following ways:
①10 mL of 10%calcium gluconate infused over 3~5 minutes.
②10 units of soluble insulin dissolve in 50 mL of 50%dextrose iv.
③100 mL of 8.5%sodium bicarbonate iv for 3~5 minutes.
④Give aerosol inhalation salbutamol or albuterol.
⑤20~50g kayexalate every 6 hours.
Indications of dialysis(acronym A,E,I,O,U):
A—Acidosis.
E—Electrolyte imbalance especially serum potassium>6.5mmol/L.
I—intoxication by dialyzable compounds e.g.lithium,aminophyline.
O—Fluid Overload.(https://www.daowen.com)
U—Signs of Uremia e.g.pericarditis,gastritis,encephalopathy etc.
(2)Chronic Renal Failure
①Use Gault-Conkroft equation to calculate CrCl.
Ie.(140-age)×wt in kg÷serum Cr(mg/dL)×72(×0.85 in females).
②If CrCl>15mL/min,control symptoms+treat underlying cause.
③If CrCl<15mL/min and no other contraindications,then the patients should carry out hemodialysis.
④If patient is accepted for hemodialysis,he/she will need a central venous access.Patient will need to have a recent(<3 months)test for hepatitis B and HIV.
