|
Loss of tubular function to concentrate urine |
Chronic PN |
|
Multiple choice: |
|
|
Constricting the glomerular efferent arteriole will decrease: |
Renal blood blow |
|
Which are the normal constituents of urine? |
Potassium |
|
Neurogenic bladder may be associated with: |
All of the above: UTI, Over-distention of the urinary bladder with ischemia of the bladder wall, Spinal cord injury, and Loss of bladder muscle tone |
|
Acute renal failure may be associated with: |
All of the above: Decreased GFR, Decreased nephron reabsorption, Necrosis of tubular epithelium, Metabolic acidosis |
|
All of these may be manifestations of uremia except: |
Metabolic alkalosis |
|
Uremia may be associated with: |
All of these: Anemia, Increased creatinine, and HTN & CHF |
|
Acute renal failure may be caused by: |
All of these: Hypovolemia, Toxins, Obstruction of urinary tract, End-stage liver failure |
|
Constriction of the glomerular afferent arteriole will decrease: |
All of these are decreased: GFR, PGC (hydrostatic pressure in glomerular capillary), and RBF (renal blood flow) |
|
Which of the following could delay the onset of end-stage renal failure |
Low protein diet |
|
Short answer: |
|
|
Clinical manifestation: |
Incontinence |
|
Site: |
Bladder |
|
Mechanism: |
Drug --> helps bladder to contract @ appropriate times --> control of urination --> no incontinence --> regain bladder control |
|
Site: |
Spinal cord |
|
Mechanism: |
Drug --> increased neuron activity --> increased neuron communication --> bladder receives messages to empty --> regain bladder control |
|
Why does anemia develop in patients with renal failure? |
Diseased kidney cannot produce erythropoietin --> no bone marrow stimulation --> no RBC production --> anemia |
|
List some causes of acute renal failure: |
-decreased blood flow -hypovolemia -exposure to certain drugs -exposure to certain toxins -dehydration -heart failure -shock |
|
Third spacing may develop in patients with renal disease. Give a specific cause for third spacing to develop in renal disease and the mechanism for its development. |
Cause: Mechanism: |
|
Cause: |
Plaque |
|
Mechanism: |
Plaque --> obstruction --> fluids cannot get through --> no filtration --> back up of fluid --> increased pressure --> 3rd spacing |
|
Your patient is going into a coma. Give the mechanism for a patient to go into a coma for the patient with uremia. |
Uremia --> build up of urea in blood --> urea crosses blood-brain barrier --> toxicity to brain --> coma |
|
Systemic hypotension may develop in patients with renal failure. Give a specific cause for systemic hypotension to develop in renal failure. |
Cause: Mechanism: |
|
Cause: |
Renin NOT released (inhibited) |
|
Mechanism: |
Renal failure --> renin not released (inhibited) --> cannot constrict blood vessels --> decreased blood pressure --> systemic hypotension |
|
Bleeding tendencies may develop in patients with renal failure. Give the mechanism for the development of bleeding tendencies in renal failure. |
Renal failure --> impaired synthesis of erythropoietin --> impaired platelet aggregation --> impaired clotting --> bleeding tendencies Renal failure --> increased urea in blood --> toxic coagulation --> bleeding tendencies |
|
Hepatic encephalopathy |
Neither |
|
Increased ammomia blood levels |
Neither |
|
Systemic HTN |
nephritic |
|
Reflux |
