sweet slightly fecal order to the breath presumed to be intestinal orgin
portal hypertention
elevated pressure in the portal circulation resulting from obstructed venous flow into the liver
sclerothearpy
injection of subtances into around the esophagogastric varice to cause constriction
assessment -liver function
occupational recreational, travel hx, industrial chemicls and toxins,alcohol and drug abuse, tylenol, ketoconazole, valproic acid, are responsible for hepatic diease,amt and type of alcohol.
protein studies for liver function tests
total serum protein- 7.0-7.5g/dl
serum albumin- 4.0-5.5g/dl
is for cirrhosis chronic,hepatitis edema, asites,
ARF
Acute renal failure abrupt loss of function over a period of hrs/days a decrease blood flow to the nephrons
ARF three phases
oliguric,diruretic, recovery phase
oliguric phase
urine output less than 400 ml/day , with oliguria complication of fluid overload, pulmonary edema, and metabolic acidosis with hyperkalemia, {kussmals breathing and { low Hg,ht anemia }
anuira output less than 100 ml/day, diuretic phase urine increases >2000 ML/DAY
, oliguria phase ,recovery phase it normalizes
causes of acute renal failure
hemorrhage, renal loses, heart
failure, MI ,sepsis, anahlasxis
s/s arf
dry mucous membrane, lethargic, breath will have urine smell, {uremic fector ]hematuria, increased BUN, creat,,hyperkalemia,in which pt cant excrete potasium
metabolic acidosis , anemia,
Diet for ARF
avoid foods and beverages high in potisum and phosphrus, they are salt substitutes, cirtus fruits, fruit juice, bannans, coffee recommend diet is as follows high carbohydrate, low to moderate protein fluid and NA restricted
CRF - three phases
1stRenal reserve,2nd renal insufficiency,3rd and end stage renal diease
CRF- major causes
poorly controlled DM, Chronic htn, and kidney infection .
S/S OF CRF neuro
Neurologic -weakness, fatigue ,confusion,tremors, inability to concentrate, buring of soles of feet, behaviour changes
S/S of CRF- skin
INTEGUMENTARY- grey bronze skin, dry flaky skin, pruitis, eccymosis, brittle nails, course , thinning hair
s/s OF CRF-cardiovascular
htn, pitting edema, { feet hands sacrum, preorbital edema, engoraged neck veins, pericardial tamponade, hyperkalemia, hyperlipidema
s/s of crf - pulmonary
crackles, thick sputum, deep cough reflex, sob, kusmauls respirations uremic lung,
S/S crf - GI
amonia oder to breath, {'uremic fector, "}metabolic taste in mouth, ,lbms, n, v hiccups,
s/s of CRF -hematologic
anemia, thrombocytopenia
rreproductive s/s crf
amenorrhea, infertility, decreased libidio
s/s crf- muscle skeletal
muscle cramps, loss of musclestrength renal osteodystrophy, bone pain ,fractures,a nd foot drop
nutritional thearpy CRF
REGULATE PROTEIN, FLUID INTAKE, NA INTAKE TO BALANCE NA, CALORIC INTAKE AND VITAMINS, protein restricted, because uria uric acid breakdown
nsg dx crf
hyperkalemia due to decreased excretion
metabolic acidosis
pericarditis pericardial tamponade due to retention of uremic waste products,
htn due to na and water retention, malfucction of angiotension
anemia due to destruction of rbcs gi tract irritations and and blood loss during hemodyalsis
what is hemodyasis-
the pt is attached to a dialyzer
by way of av fistula this kidney functions like a artificial kidney 3-4 times/week
AV SHUNT is patent when
when the nurse palpates and asculatates over the shunt site if the site is open the nurse will feel a slight thrill and hear a whistling sound { bruit } between the vein and artery.if no tremor is felt contact the MD
complications of hemodialysis
air embolism, infecton disequilbrium , internal bleeding1- air embolism, defined as presense of air bubble in a vessle, sx include chest pain, pt hob lowered, dyspnea occurs sudden drop in bp, nurse turns pt to lt side, cyanosis may occur
hemodialysis , -infections
redness pain swelling are common, nurse feels warmth over fistula, is r/t presence of microorganisms
hemodialysis,Disequilbrium syndrome
altered loc, backache, n,v, ha, muscle twitching, seizures,flow rate should be slowed or stopped
Hemodialysis -internal bleeding
sx hypotention, restlessness, cold clammy skin, extreme thirst, nurse prepares for possible blood transfusion
hemodialysis - a pt diet for dialysis
sinse protein is lost through peritonela dialysis a diet high in protein, low carb suggested to pevent wt gain
rrenal transplant -drugs given
given immunosuppresants cyclosporin , and steroids to decrease the chance of regection, taken for duration of a pt lives major side effects are increase susptibility to various infections , viral abcterial and yeast.shingles is a viral infection cause by ner e pain tx is zovirax
kidney rejection seven s/s of kidney rejection
oliguria, fatigue, gradual wt gain, fever, elevated bp, pain, tenderness in the flank, serum creat levels > 20 %
Peritoneal dialysis major complication is infection, of the linning of teh abdominal cavity
peritonisis may be caused by irritation from antibiotic tx or staf , strep infection usually results from inadequete hand washing before needle insertion
define nephrectomy
removal of one kidney, due to diease or injury, diet f/u si restrictoins on protein, na{ sodium } and ka{ potasium }
define urolithiasis
refer to stones, { calculi } in the urinary tract calcium oxalate,phospate,uric acid increase
