300
pts urine output is less than 400ml/day, serum bun and creatinine are increased.
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
