A case of 45 year old with AKI

 A 45 year old female , an agricultural labour by occupation came to the casualty with the  chief complaints of-

•fever since 1 month 
•facial puffiness since 9 days
•decreased urine output since 6 days 
•vomiting since 2-3 days

HOPI–

The patient was apparently asymptomatic one month back and then developed fever,Which was high-grade, associated with chills, and was taken to a local hospital and  got treated. Along with fever, she had loss of appetite and loss of taste. Fever subsided for one day and then she developed it again.

She visited the hospital after 15 days, Where they advised her to consult a gynaecologist as she had her last LMP2 years back

She never had any complaints of pain abdomen

Then, she consulted a gynaecologist, and the doctor advised her USG for the localisation of infection. The USG revealed a right ovarian cyst. Along with USG ,haemogram, RFT, LFT were done. RFT showed all  the values Within the normal range with creatinine being around 0.9-1 ,Haemoglobin was normal. Apart from having right ovarian cyst, she has no other findings. So, the patient was referred to a general surgeon. The size of the variant cyst was about 8 cm and the doctors thought to operate it. They scheduled the surgery on 11/7/21 and  patient had been to the hospital on 9/7/21 For pre-anaesthetic checkup. So, on that day her HB was 10, and then she underwent two units of PRBC transfusion. The patient was scheduled to get operated on 11/7/21 at 3:00 pm. When the patient was in the OT and put on foley’s And all the anaesthetic medications were given but on opening the abdomen, she had subcutaneous edema and And the fluid Was gushing out of it. The doctors were not sure where the fluid was coming from, whether it’s from the right ovarian cyst or peritoneum.

Assuming it to be the peritoneal fluid, it was thought to be ascites,And ascitic fluid analysis was sent




Patient had TB 15 years back, assuming it to be abdominal TB, samples were sent for AFB and gram stain

Then, she came to the casualty of Kims on 15/7/21 at 9 PM saying that she needs to undergo dialysis and the patient was referred to this hospital in view of further haemodialysis to be done.

When she presented to the casualty, she did not have any pedal edema or SOB

CAUSE OF AKI?

Perioperative AKI does not arise from a single insult, but instead develops as a result of several, with hypoperfusion and inflammation thought to be the main drivers. Perioperative AKI is due to inflammation caused by hemodynamic instabilities, nephrotoxicity, damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP), and obstruction. Decrease in mean arterial pressure (MAP) due to hypovolemia or systemic effects of anesthetics contribute to renal hypoperfusion. Once the intrinsic compensatory mechanisms of the kidneys, mediated through sympathetic nervous system activation leading to the production of antidiuretic hormone and angiotensin-II, are surpassed, the kidneys are unable to maintain an adequate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal function is reduced. In patients with underlying chronic renal disease, autoregulation is impaired, exacerbating the effects of hypoperfusion. Additionally, surgical stimulation induces systemic inflammation leading to microcirculatory effects, endothelial dysfunction, and increased leukocyte migration. The net result of these inflammatory changes is damage to the renal tubules and AKI.
