B. Stop trimethoprim
C. Nothing
D. Dialysis
E. Transplant
Drugs and kidney • Isolated/disproportionate rise in Ur – pre-renal AKI, large protein
meal/UGIB
• Isolated/disproportionate rise in Cr – trimethoprim, cimetidine
• Loop diuretics (furosemide) - ↓Na ↓K ↓Ca
• Thiazide (bendroflumethiazide) - ↓Na ↓K ↑Ca
• NSAIDs – increases afferent arteriolar tone, therefore decreases glomerular perfusion pressure, Na and water retention, analgesia nephropathy (Chronic TIN, papilla necrosis and sloughing)
• ACE I, ARB (ramipril, losartan) – decrease efferent arteriolar tone, therefore decrease glomerular perfusion pressure
• Spironolactone – anti-androgen (gynaecomastia)
• Amiloride – loss of salt taste
• K sparing diuretics (ACE I/ARB, mineralocorticoid antagonists, ENaC blockers) – hyperkalaemia
• Gentamicin, myoglobin, uric acid, oxalate – form crystals, ATN/ATIN
• Gold, penicillamin – membranous GN
• Tetracycline (demeclocycline) – Anti-ADH effect
