FUNCTION
THIS HORMONE INCREASES WATER AND SODIUM REABSORPTION TO CONCENTRATE URINE
ALDOSTERONE
This structure brings blood along with wastes to the kidney
renal artery
A GFR of 15-29 ml/min indicates what kind of kidney failure
severe kidney failure
CLINICAL SYNDROME RESULTING FROM SEVERE LOSS OF KIDNEY FUNCTION
URAEMIA
THIS IS THE TERM FOR NO URINE PRODUCTION
ANURIA
THIS Acid-Base disorder happens when CO2 is eliminated faster than it is produced, leading to a decrease in hydrogen ion concentration
Respiratory Alkalosis
This is the inner region of the kidney containing the renal pyramids
medulla
This blood work is a waste product that comes from the normal wear and tear on the muscles of the body
THESE TYPES OF ANTIHYPERTENSIVES ARE USUALLY PRESCRIBED WITH CKD
ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITOR (ACE INHIBITOR)
ANGIOTENSIN II RECEPTOR BLOCKERS (ARBs)
THIS PROCESS WORKS BY INFUSING A SPECIAL FLUID INTO THE MEMBRANE THAT LINES YOUR ABDOMINAL CAVITY TO ALLOW BLOOD TO PASS THROUGH AND GET FILTERED
PERITONEAL DIALYSIS
THIS Acid-Base disorder resultS in an increase of bicarbonate. Compensatory response may be hypoventilation to increase PCO2 in the blood.
METABOLIC ALKALOSIS
Urine flows to the bladder in this tube structure
ureter
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) comes from the breakdown of the protein in the food you eat. The BUN level will increase as kidney function does this
Decreases
These are the top 3 conditions that cause CKD
Diabetes
HTN
Glomerulonephritis (inflammation of kidneys)
This is created for HD patients by joining an artery to a vein under you skin to allow access
Fistula
THESE ARE THE THREE HORMONES PRODUCED IN THE KIDNEY
RENIN, ERYTHROPOEITIN, VITAMIN D
the right kidney sits slightly lower because it is displaced by this organ
LIVER
In CKD expected serum albumin will be this as albumin passes into the urine
LOW
Caution with intravenous this should be taken when performing tests with a low GFR
IV CONTRAST
The build of uraemia can affect the brain and the heart causing this (x2)
encephalopathy and pericaditis
THESE ARE THE THREE FUNCTIONS OF THE KIDNEY
1. FILTER BLOOD & REGULATE SALT AND WATER AND OTHER CHEMICALS
2. REMOVE WASTE PRODUCTS
3. MAKE HORMONES AND CHEMICALS FOR BP REGULATION, RED BLOOD CELLS AND CALCUIM ABSORPTION
NORMALLY THE KIDNEYS RECEIVE APPROXIMATELY THIS MUCH (%) OF THE CARDIAC OUTPUT
20%
This high level of electrolyte can lead to weak bones
Phosphorus
The acronym AEIOU is used for indications for when dialysis is needed
A - acidosis
E - electrolytes (k)
I - intoxication
O - overload (fluid)
U - uraemia
These are the first two signs that dialysis has not worked
malaise and weight gain
