Intro to Renal Failure, Paul Bolin (26:51)
The video starts with a focus on renal insufficiency. The video is well paced and very informative. It discusses lab values in acute renal failure, including urine sodium, fractional excretion of sodium, urine osmolarity, BUN, and presence of blood cells, casts, and sediment. He also briefly describes pre-renal and post-renal failure.
Prerenal Failure, Paul Bolin (23:48)
Starts off with a definition of prerenal failure and review the prerenal labs discussed in the Intro to Renal Failure lecture. Renal artery stenosis, NSAID induced prerenal failure, systemic hypotension, hypoaldosteronemia, hepatorenal syndrome are covered with the associated symptoms, labs, diagnosis, and treatment.
Postrenal Failure, Paul Bolin (13:46)
Definition of postrenal failure is first covered, followed by a quick review of the anatomy. Some causes of postrenal failure are discussed. Specific symptoms are reviewed in regards to disease process and if there is hydronephrosis/enlarged bladder and when you would suspect it.
Renal Failure, tootRN, LLC (21:30)
The video uses a drawing of the kidney to covers three types of renal failure, pre-, intra-, and post-. The discussion starts with reviewing anatomy and then returns to describing causes of the three types of renal failure and the treatments for each type. Hemodialysis is also discussed. The video ends with all the notes taken on the screen, so you can quickly review what was covered.
Acute Renal Failure, MEDCRAMvideos (4 videos- 45:24)
The video is broken up into a playlist of four videos. The first three explain renal failure and the fourth one has review questions. BUN and creatinine are discussed in videos one and two. Side by side comparisons of prerenal, renal, and postrenal failure are found in videos two and three. The videos do a great job at emphasizing information, comparing and contrasting the different types of acute renal failure.

Chronic Kidney Disease - CRASH! USMLE Step 2 and 3, Paul Bolin (21:59)
He covers the material at a reasonable rate, that allows you to take notes if you would like. The classification, based on GFR, is shown, followed by what symptoms may indicate need for dialysis. A hand drawn diagram is shown and walked through in pieces to understand end stage renal disease. This includes a discussion on hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia, anemia, electrolyte abnormalities with an EKG with peaked t-waves, and uremia. Fluid overload and management wrap up the lesson on chronic kidney disease.
