Anuria

• Lack of urination due to kidney dysfunction

  • kidneys are producing no or a small amount of urine (pee) or you aren’t peeing because of a blockage.

  • may also occur because of some severe obstruction like kidney stones or tumours.

  • It’s the most severe form of oliguria.

• can happen as a result of shock, severe blood loss, or heart or kidney failure

  • can also develop when something affects how well your kidneys filter your blood like: Shock, infections, Chemical intoxication, etc

• It may occur with end stage kidney disease

• can also occur from medications or toxins

• an emergency and can be life-threatening

• you may be more likely to have it if you have an acute kidney injury (AKI)

Blood urea nitrogen

• waste product that forms as your body breaks down proteins.

  • It's carried in your blood and then removed by your kidneys when you urinate (pee).

• Small amount is normal, large amount indicates kidney dysfunction/failure

• Testing for this can help detect kidney problems early

• Procedure:

  • take a blood sample from a vein in your arm, using a small needle.

  • After the needle is inserted, a small amount of blood will be collected into a test tube or vial

• vary according to your age and sex

Creatinine clearance

• the volume of blood plasma cleared of creatinine per unit time and is a rapid and cost-effective method for assessing renal function

• test checks your kidney function by looking at the amount of [INSERT] in your urine and blood

  • [INSERT] is produced as a waste product from muscles using energy which is broken down

• Abnormal values (like high values) indicate kidney disease or damage

• involves collecting your pee over a 24-hour period and having your blood drawn.

• one way to estimate your glomerular filtration rate (GFR), or how well your kidneys are filtering your blood.

  • The GFR is the main number used by your provider to determine how well your kidneys are working.

Dialysis

• type of treatment that helps your body remove extra fluid and waste products from your blood when the kidneys are not able to

• Functions include:

  • removing waste and extra fluids in your body to prevent them from building up in the body

  • keeping safe levels of minerals in your blood, such as potassium, sodium, calcium, and bicarbonate

  • helping to regulate your blood pressure

• Used for acute kidney injury and Kidney failure
