The Pitfalls of Automated eGFR

Caveats to eGFR

•  An  esAmate  based  on  populaAon  data  -­‐-­‐  not  the  paAent’s  actual  GFR  

•  Not  reliable  when  used  in  paAents:    – With  GFR  >  60  ml/  min/1.73  m2  

– With  rapidly  changing  creaAnine  levels  (e.g.,  acute  kidney  injury  in  the  ICU)  

– With  extremes  in  muscle  mass,  e.g.  cachexia,  paraplegia,  ESLD    

– Under  age  18  No urine = no GFR, no matter what Cr or eGFR is reported

IniAal  EvaluaAon    

•  Careful  H+P  (drugs)  •  Urinary  studies  

– UA  with  micro  – FENa  (or  FEurea)  – Urine  eosinophils

Diagnostic Utility of Urine Microscopy Perazella MA, et al. CJASN 3:1615, 2008

•  Cross-­‐secAonal  study  of  267  consecuAve  paAents  seen  by  consult  service  over  one  year  

•  Developed  a  scoring  system  (1-­‐3),  based  on  presence  or  absence  of  renal  tubular  epithelial  cells  and  granular  casts  

•  In  paAents  with  high  pretest  probability  of  ATN,  score  >  2  →  high  PPV,  low  NPV  for  diagnosis  of  ATN

FENa vs. FEurea on Diuretics Carvounis CP, et al. Kidney Int 62:2223, 2002  

•  Compared  FENa  and  FEurea  in  102  paAents  with  AKI,  and  effect  of  diureAcs  

•  Conclusion:    Low  FEurea  (<  35%)  was  more  sensiAve  and  specific  than  FENa,  especially  in  the  presence  of  diureAcs

•  In  paAents  not  on  diureAcs,  FENa  is  beser  than  FEurea  at  diagnosing  prerenal  AKI  

•  In  paAents  on  diureAcs,  because  of  low  specificity,  FEurea  is  not  very  helpful

– Nonoliguric:    intrarenal  causes  –  nephrotoxic  ATN,  acute  GN,  AIN
