Affects multiple organs in addition to the kidneys; early manifestations include flank/back pain and hypertension and treatment is aimed at preventing end-stage renal disease by controlling HTN, encouraging fluids, and avoiding NSAIDS.
What is Polycystic Kidney Disease
100
These are known as the two main causes of CKD:
What is Diabetes and Hypertension?
100
The two most common causes of this form of acute kidney injury are hypovolemic shock and heart failure.
What is Pre-renal AKI?
100
The normal range for this kidney-specific lab value is 10 to 20 mg/dL
What is Blood Urea Nitrogen
100
Renal surgery where the kidney is removed, repaired, and replaced is known as:
What is Bench surgery
200
Following this procedure often done to correct hydronephrosis, the nurse should monitor the patient closely for adequate urine output and bleeding.
What is Nephrostomy Tube Placement?
200
In this phase of AKI, the nurse's main concern would be focused on preventing dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
What is the Diuretic phase?
200
Rapidly giving the patient with a suspected AKI 500 - 1000 mL of IV fluids is known as a:
What is a fluid bolus?
300
Manifestations of this renal disorder include hypertension, inability to conserve sodium, decrease in urine concentration, nocturia, risk of hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis, and scar tissue formation in the kidney from recurrent infections.
What is Chronic Pyelonephritis?
300
In this stage of chronic kidney disease, the nurse would expect to note a GFR of 30 - 59, and would base the plan of care around strategies aimed at slowing the disease progression.
What is Stage 3 CKD
300
In this phase of AKI, the nurse would expect to note a gradual accumulation of wastes that could present in an increase in Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen.
What is the Onset Phase?
300
This is the most accurate indicator of kidney functionality.
What is the GFR?
300
As kidney damage increases, the production of this hormone decreases causing anemia.
What is Erythropoietin
400
This renal disorder may present with mild hypertension, dusky urine, proteinuria, edema, and skin lesions.
What is Acute Glomerulonephritis
400
A stressful event that produces a decrease in kidney function without the buildup of waste products is known as:
What is reduced renal reserve
400
In a patient in the recovery phase of AKI being discharged home, the nurse would want to include avoidance of this in patient's discharge teaching as it is the primary cause of AKI.
What is hypovolemia/dehydration
400
The nurse would expect the patient with end-stage renal failure to present with what kind of skeletal manifestation?
What is Osteodystrophy (thin/fragile bones)
400
This is typically known as the first sign of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis.
What is cloudy dialysate
500
The following signs/symptoms would prompt the nurse to suspect which renal disorder complication?
Anorexia, nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps, itching, lethargy, hiccups, edema, dyspnea, paresthesias
What is Uremia or uremic symptoms?
500
In CKD, this increases the workload of the heart and is the leading cause of death of ESKD patients.
What is Heart Failure?
500
This cause of AKI can manifest with anuria, tachycardia, HTN, distended neck veins, weight gain, respiratory crackles, lethargy and level of consciousness changes.
What is Intrarenal AKI
500
A post-dialysis complication that is characterized by: headache, nausea/vomiting, decreased level of consciousness, seizures, coma, and (worst case) death.
What is Dialysis Disequilibrium syndrome
500
The cause of stage V of this type of CKD is characterized by a decrease of GFR of 10/ml/min/yr on average and is irreversible.
