EVERYTHING KIDNEY
What is color, clarity, odor, and sediment
These two blood tests, often measured together, help assess how well the kidneys are filtering wastes products from the blood
What are the BUN and creatine
Sign & symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
What is nocturia, polyuria, oliguria, hematuria, dysuria
This term describes an elevation in blood urea nitrogen (BUN) creatine levels often caused by impaired kidney function
What is azomemia
The presence of protein in urine, detected by a simple dipstick test, is known by this term and can be an early sign of kidney damage?
What is proteinuria
What are the glomeruli
The urine test that measures the kidney's ability to concentrate or dilute urine. This test can reflect both a client's kidney function and hydration status
What is specific gravity
After a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) this continuous procedure is used to prevent clot formation and maintain catheter patency
What is continuous bladder irrigation (CBI)
The three D's known in the management of AKI/Acute Renal failure include-
What is Dialysis, Drug, & Diet
When a Foley catheter becomes blocked by blood clots or debris, this procedure may be performed using sterile solution to restore urine flow.
What is catheter irrigation
This hormone, released by the kidneys, stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow
What is erythropoietin
This routine urine test can detect ph, protein, glucose, ketones, and microscopic elements like red and white blood cells.
What is a urinalysis
This condition occurs when nerve damage disrupts bladder control, leading to problems with urinary retention or incontinence
What is a neurogenic bladder
This phase of Acute Kidney Injury/Acute Renal Failure includes urine output under 400ml/day, elevated BUN, serum creatinine, potassium, phosphate, and elevated blood pressure.
What is the oliguric phase
Older adults are at higher risk for these infections due to incomplete bladder emptying and changes in immune function
What are urinary tract infections
What findings in a urinalysis would be considered ABNORMAL?
What is Albumin, Glucose, Erythrocytes, Ketone bodies, and Leukocytes
This blood test is commonly used to screen for prostate disorders, including prostate cancer
What is a PSA, (prostate specific antigen) test
If the client has a Foley catheter and urine flow stops despite adequate hydration, the nurse should do take what initial actions?
Fluid restriction, high calorie diet, low protein, and low potassium are diet management strategies for what type of renal failure
This disorder is related to Calculi in the urinary tract. Medical management of ESWL, nursing management of straining urine, encouraging 3-4 liters of fluid/day, IVF, pain/nausea meds, and diet modifications
What is Urolithiasis
A falling blood pressure, increased heart rate, and decreasing urine output after a nephrectomy may indicate this complication.
What is hemorrhage/ blood loss
A priority nursing action after an IVP (intravenous pyelogram) is encouraging this to help flush the contrast dye from the kidneys
What is increased fluid intake
These medications reduce tone of smooth muscle in bladder neck & prostate urethra
What are Alpha-Adrenergic Blockers (Tamsulosin, Terazosin, Doxazosin, Silodosin
This phase of Acute Kidney Injury/Acute Renal Failure includes removing what caused the initial assault, dialysis, IVF, diuretics, and increase of UOP of 1-3L/day, decrease in BP, and lab values (BUN, Creatinine, K, Phos) normalizing.
What is the diuretic phase
Risk factors for this disease process include: smoking, UTI's, kidney & bladder stones, chemical exposure, age and family history.
What is bladder cancer
