r. K. G. is a thin 60-year-old man admitted to the hospital forcardiac catheterization for recurrent angina. Past medical historyincludes hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and a previousmyocardial infarction 2 years ago. Current medications aremetformin (Glucophage), glipizide (Glucotrol), enteric-coatedaspirin (Ecotrin), and lisinopril (Zestril). Laboratory tests onadmission revealed the following: normal electrolyte levels; bloodurea nitrogen (BUN), 40 mg/dL; and serum creatinine, 2.0 mg/dL. Acomplete blood cell count and urinalysis were unremarkable. Mr. K.G. is receiving Normal Saline at an infusion rate of KVO (keep veinopen) rate (20 mL/hr) on the morning of the procedure. Hesuccessfully undergoes the catheterization and returns to thetelemetry unit. The day after the procedure, Mr. K. G.’s urineoutput decreases to less than 10 mL/hr. Mr. K. G. is given a 500 mlfluid bolus of ­normal saline without any increase in urine output.Furosemide 30 mg is administered IV push, with a slight increase inurine output to 15 mL/hr for several hours. Laboratory studiesreveal the following: potassium, 6.4 mEq/L; BUN, 70 mg/dL; serumcreatinine, 7.1 mg/dL, and carbon dioxide total content, 16 mEq/L.The next day Mr. K. G. has 2+ edema and basilar crackles, and hecomplains of feeling short of breath. A preliminary diagnosis ofacute renal failure is made.
