Creatinine

Many patients that undergo vascular interventions such as angiographies, stent or inferior vena cava filter placement that require radiographic imaging are at risk for contrast media induced nephropathy. This risk increases with age and with several comorbid conditions. Many aspects that can influence whether a patient may become affected by the contrast are noted in Pisanai et. al, in table 1. They are noted as “preexisting renal failure, diabetes, effective blood volume depletion,…

showing ST elevation in two anterior leads. Currently, the EKG is showing that MK is experiencing premature ventricular contractions. The nurse should also be concerned about the client’s lab reports. While the client’s creatinine phosphokinase (CPK), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine levels are within normal limits, her CPK-MB and troponin 1 levels are both elevated. The elevation in labs signifies that MK had a myocardial infarction, which puts her at risk for cardiogenic shock due to…

of normal condition, and the urine output is below 0.5 ml/kg/hour. The duration for the onset phase endures for hours to days. The next phase is oliguric –also called anuric phase- happens when the level of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine are increased. Moreover, oliguric phase decreases the amount of urine to less than 400 ml/day. Also, oliguric phase affects the electrolyte disturbance, acidosis, and fluid overload which lead to lose the capacity of the kidneys to excrete…

Initially, the elevated creatinine and BUN lab values show that she may have ARF. In addition to the lab values, she had a history of congestive heart failure, which is a common cause of prerenal heart failure. Also, she had signs of being in the oliguric stage, such as her nonoliguric…

The lemon balm contains (17.10g, 16.11g and 50.56g) of protein, fiber and carbohydrates respectively. While the wheat flour as raw material contains (11.86g, 0.69g, and 75.69g) of protein, fiber and carbohydrates respectively. Assay of polyphenolic compounds of lemon balm leaves. Figer…

be withheld for forty-eight hours after the procedure where IV contrast in administered into the body. This diabetic medication should only be resumed forty-eight hours later if their creatinine levels are within normal range. It is also recommended that patients who are on this medication need to have their creatinine levels drawn before the procedure to make sure they are healthy enough to have the IV contrast injected into their body. During the procedure, patients will not react…

Renal Failure Name Institution History and symptoms - intrarenal acute renal failure Mr. Donovan’s condition is consistent to intrarenal acute renal failure. Due to his history with renal insufficiency and uncontrolled hypertension, it is more likely that he is suffering from intrarenal acute kidney injury. The patient has no history obstruction (postrenal) or with trauma (prerenal). Hypertension, as shown by the patient, is seen with an intrarenal acute renal failure while hypotension is…
