Other Studies

Z A CD

Clinical Course

• You find out that he had mild fever the other day and was pan cultured. He was started on avelox and then changed to cipro after sensitivities of organisms.

• You suspect AIN and started him on higher dose steroids with continued taper

Discussion

Z A CD

AIN

• Definition, dx, w/u, tx, and mgmt

Z A CD

Acute Interstitial Nephritis

• Immune mediated tubulo-interstitial injury

• Usu abrupt • Infection – bacteria (Corynebacterium diphtheria,

legionella, staph/strep, yersinia), viral (CMV, EBV, HSV, hep C, HIV), other (leptospira)

• Immune – acute rejection of kidney, GNs, vasculitis, SLE

Z A CD

Discussion

• Drug induced, but not necessarily dose related

• Abx – cephalosporins, cipro and other quinolones, PCNs, rifampin, sulfonamidees

• Most NSAIDs• Diuretics – lasix, thiazides, triamterene• Misc – allopurinol, cocaine

Z A CD

Presentation

• Nonspecific s/s• Fever (27%)• Skin rash – nonspecific diffuse (15%)• Arthralgia • Above triad present 5-10% in practice, but 80% on

the boards• Malaise• Nausea +/- vomiting• Eosinophilia (23%)• Flank pain

Z A CD

PP

• Inflammatory cells in interstitium – edema, but vessels and glomeruli ok

• Fibrosis later – either diffuse or patchy, from cortex out to medullocorticol jxn

• Mononuclear and T lymphocytes, with plasma cells and eosinophils

• NSAIDs – a/w minimal change disease• Antigen driven – T cell mediated hypersensitivity and

cytotoxic T cell injury

Z A CD

Dx

• Gold std bx – but not typically done

• Urine eos – in mid 80s, thought Hansel stain more sensitive than Wright’s stain. Recent studies show not very good test

• PPV 38%, sens 40%

• Imaging – U/S – no specific findings; Gallium 67 – may only be useful to tell ATN from AIN

Z A CD

Labs

• Older individuals may have mild proteinuria (usu < 1 g/day)

• Signs of tubulointerstitial damage – like RTA

Z A CD

Tx

• Stop offending agent or treat the infection• Typically quick recovery, NSAIDs may take up to

18months• Steroids – no trials support use. Small studies have

shown faster diuresis and improvement in Cr; others have had conflicting data (IC evidence)

• Can try Cytoxan if steroids don’t work in 2-3 wk• Use slow steroid taper of your choice if seems to

work.

Other syndromes that mimic

• Analgesic induced, toxin induced, sarcoidosis, chronic IN, tubulointerstitial nephritis uveitis

Z A CD

MKSAP – nephro #44

• A 44 yo man with a history of nephrolithiasis requests nonpharmaceutical interventions for stone prevention. His last symptomatic kidney stone was 2 years ago. He does not recall the exact type of stone that he formed but believes that it contained calcium. Previous laboratory studies have showed normal renal function and normal levels of calcium, phosphorus, and uric acid. A plain abdominal radiograph performed 1 year ago revealed no genitourinary calcifications. He does not have a family history of nephrolithiasis wishes to reduce his chances of developing further kidney stones.

Z A CD

Discussion

• In addition to increasing fluid intake to >2 L/d, which of the following is the best initial therapy for this patient?

• A Increase dietary calcium intake• B Decrease dietary sources of citrate• C Increase dietary animal protein intake• D Increase dietary sodium intake

Z A CD

A – more calcium

• Increasing calcium intake decreases the risk for calcium oxalate stones because calcium binds to gastrointestinal sources of oxalate and therefore prevents absorption.

• Dietary modifications such as decreasing animal protein intake, decreasing sodium intake, and increasing citrate can reduce the risk for recurrent kidney stones without additional medical therapy.
