What is normal GFR?

125 mL of blood per minute

100

What is acute kidney injury?

term used to describe slight deterioration in the kidneys to severe kidney impairment 

100

Differentiate between AKI and chronic kidney disease 

AKI is a range of kidney impairment, CKD is permanent kidney damage
200

What is nephrosclerosis and what is the problem?

sclerosis of small arteries and arterioles of the kidney

may result in ischemia and necrosis of the kidney 

200
What are the 3 causes of acute kidney injury and define them

Prerenal= things that cause a reduction in renal blood flow

intrarenal= things that cause direct damage to the kidney tissue

postrenal= things that involve mechanical obstruction in the flow of urine 

200

what are the top two causes of chronic kidney disease

diabetes and HTN
300

What is nephrotic syndrome

results when the glomerulus is excessively permeable to plasma protein, causing proteinuria that leads to low plasma albumin and tissue edema 

300

NAME THAT CAUSE, AKI STYLE :)

heart failure, contrast dye, dehydration, prostate, acute glomerulonephritis, BPH

prerenal, intrarenal, prerenal, postrenal, intrarenal, postrenal 

300

Which lab is the best indicator of kidney function and what GFR signals something is wrong and needs monitoring 

Creatinine is best indicator of renal impairment, GFR less than 60 should signal problem 

400

what are 3 signs and symptoms of nephrotic syndrome? Bonus 100 points if you get the 3 that are most important

Periperal edema, proteinuria, hyperlipidemia 

HTN, hypoalbuminemia, foamy urine d/t proteinuria 

400

What are the 3 phases of AKI

oliguric phase, diuretic phase, recovery phase
400

What GFR criteria indicates kidney failure?

increased creatinine x3 or GFR decrease > 75% or creatinine > 4mg per 100 mL (acute rise of >0.5 mg per 100 mL)

500

what medications would you give for a patient suffering from nephrotic syndrome?

diuretics for edema, ace inhibitors to decrease protein

500

what is sodium polystyrene sulfonate and what is its purpose

Kayexalate, removes excess potassium 

500

What lab values are expected in chronic kidney disease 

GFR- <60 for 3 months; hyperkalemia; decreased RBC; hypocalcemia; decreased vitamin D; hyperphosphatemia
