such as hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, acute renal failure, and cardiac arrest. Signs and symptoms of these complication complications are confusion, delirium, agitation, and seizures. The major laboratory findings are Increased myoglobin and creatinine phosphokinase because of muscular cell death. Treatment The main treatment for rhabdomyolysis is to preserve renal function and prevent kidney failure. Rapid intravenous hydration maintains adequate kidney flow (McCance & Huether, 2014).…

M was admitted to the surgical intensive care unit of the hospital due to left-sided rib fractures 4 through 8 secondary to ground fall.

Multiple studies have shown IV albumin effective in decreasing the incidence of renal dysfunction from 33% to 10% and mortality from 29% to 10% and is especially beneficial for patients with baseline serum creatinine ≥ 1 mg/dL, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) ≥ 30 mg/dL.1 Patient BB has a baseline serum creatinine level of 1.3 mg/dL and BUN level of 32 mg/dL. Therefore, IV albumin will help prevent further renal dysfunction. Pentoxifylline,…

impairment; it may be about 30 hours. Dialysis patients treated with a bolus of danaparoid might remain anticoagulated in the inter-dialytic interval, which can be problematic in individuals who no longer have active disease. In patients with serum creatinine ≥2.5 mg/dl, after initial dosing, dose reduction should be done or temporary discontinued to prevent the accumulation of plasma anti-Xa. The drug is…

Hyponatremia is a condition that occurs when the level of sodium in your blood is abnormally low. Sodium is an electrolyte, and it helps regulate the amount of water that's in and around your cells (Mayo Clinic, 2015). When a person runs a long distance their blood is sent to their legs creating less blood flow to other organs such as the kidneys. People who drink too much water while taking part in marathons, ultramarathons, triathlons and other long-distance, high-intensity activities are at…

of AKI is progrossing from prerenal to intrarenal. 4. ( 1 point) What additional tests, if needed, could be done to determine the cause of AKI?
