Definitions I
Primary :
Either Hyperacute (second to minutes) or
Acute (Hours)
Results from abdominal trauma
Secondary:
Either Subacute (days) or Chronic
(Months )
Results from extrabdominal causes
Stages
Stage I : 12-15
Stage II : 16-20
Stage IV : >25
Incidence
IAP Thresholds:
Reduction in renal plasma flow and GFR
starting at IAP 15-20 mm Hg
Oliguria starts at 15mmHg
Anuric above 30 mm Hg
Numbers refer to a normovolemic patient.
In a septic patient the numbers may be
lower
Renal Pathophysiology II
Pre-renal, Renal, and Postrenal
Pre-renal:
Cardiovascular dysfuntion, both from decreased
venous return and from compression of the heart, and
from increased afterload
Increase in ADH response, and can be an Increase in
renin/aldosterone/and plasma catecholamines
Renal:
Increased pressure on the kidneys and release of
inflammatory markers
Post-renal:
Direct compression of the ureters
A study in the Annals of Surgery in 1982 did not
improve with the insertion of ureteral stents
