What is the oliguric phase of AKI?
300
Given to patients to stimulate RBC's production.
What is Epogen?
300

The expected cause of a patient is receiving hemodialysis, and the patient states they are feeling lightheaded.

What is hypotension?

400

Phase in AKI characterized by a gradual increase in urine output of 3-5 liter/ day, with the risk of fluid and electrolyte imbalances.

What is the diuretic phase?

400

More common for renal cancer (men or women)?

What is men?

400

500

List 5 causes of prerenal AKI.

What is 

Intravascular volume depletion:

     hemorrhage, dehydration, diuretics, vomiting, NG suction

↓Cardiac Output:

500

List 4 causes of intrarenal AKI.

What is

Prolonged renal ischemia: 

    Myoglobinuria (burns, crush injuries, trauma

    Hemoglobinuria (transfusion reactions, hemolytic anemia)

500

List at least 3 stages of kidney disease with the defining characteristics.

What is

Stage 1-Minimal kidney damage with normal or slightly increased GFR

    GFR greater than or = to 90 mL/min (At Risk)

Stage 2-Mild kidney damage with mildly decreased GFR

    GFR = 60-89 mL/min (Mild ↓)

Stage 3-Moderate kidney damage with moderate decrease in GFR

    GFR = 30-59 mL/min (Moderate ↓)

Stage 4 –Severe kidney damage with severe decrease in GFR

    GFR= 15-29 mL/min (Severe ↓)
