failure . Pre-renal kidney injury is caused by hypo perfusion of the kidneys caused by volume depletion and renal artery stenosis( Cheung, Talbot , 2008) Intrinsic kidney injury involves structural damage to glomerulus, vessels, or kidney tubules which can be by prolonged pre- renal causes leading to cell necrosis by ischemia or by infectious agents and toxins that result in inflammation or injury . (ADIS International Ltd, 2009;Cheunget al ;2008; Talbot,2008). Post renal kidney injury is caused…

Organ Donation by Prisoners There have been rumors that China has been harvesting organs from the prisoners on a massive scale. There hasn't been a total amount of executions that China has done because they do not report them all but after executing them, they take the organs and do secret operations. However for the people that do not agree with Chinaś communist government, retrieving organs from prisoners have had bad outcomes because they stood up for the prisoners. They have their organs…

Kidneys- The kidneys function to filter both toxins and additional not needed water. Kidneys have tons of nephrons which are tiny filters. A nephron is made up of two parts which are the glomerulus and the tubule. The glomerulus filters large molecules and blood cells from liquids and toxins. Then the filtered liquids and toxins go to the tubules. The tubule filters out more toxins missed from the glomerulus. It also gathers minerals and releases them back into the bloodstream. During the…

donated one of their organs to someone else, this is Michael Poulson, he just ends up regretting his decision to do so. He writes an article called,‘‘At 18 years old, he donated a kidney. Now, he regrets it.’’ The Washington Post. He spreads about his experience in how he felt before, during and after he donated his kidney to his stepfather’s brother. His purpose for writing is to share an experience that many people who have donated their organs have gone through. He wants to inform donors the…

Practice Dimension Criteria: Practice: Ms. Upham provided strong leadership in the planning, coordinating and implementation of the Peritoneal Dialysis Program. This is a brand new program, developed to bring back the Veterans who were receiving their care out in the community. With the complexity of their care due to multiple co-morbidities it is critical for them to receive all their care at the Providence Veterans Administration Medical Center (PVAMC). Evidence based resources were used in…

Purpose: The kidneys are a very important organ responsible for removing nitrogenous waste in the body. Every day, the kidneys filter about 120 to 150 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine, composed of wastes and extra fluid. To understand how this amazing organ works, it‘s important to explore and learn about each component. This dissection of kidney is a great opportunity to earn first hand on experience with the kidney and understand it role in the unary system.…

example, I’ve had to visit the nurse’s office every two hours to cath myself, as far back as kindergarten. Since birth, I’ve both worn diapers or pull-ups and dealt with constantly being teased. Despite cathing every two hours to prevent reflux into my kidneys, I’m still incontinent. I wore pull-ups till I was large enough to fit the larger Poise pads, which I now use.…

Fluoride, consumed in its varying forms, undergoes hydrolysis in the stomach which frees fluorine anions (F-), completely releasing them from their parent compound (Turney, et al., 2011). The fluorine anion is referred to as fluoride, the molecule of focus in this toxicological report. Fluoride readily crosses cell membranes by means of a pH gradient in which its negative charge becomes attracted to the free hydrogen cations found in acidic environments. This gradient and binding of fluoride…

correlates of lupus nephritis (LN) in a total of 428 patients [46-48] (Table 1). The follow-up period varied from less than 1 year up to 10 years. End-stage renal disease requiring dialysis (ESRD) was the most common complication reported (Table 1). Kidney biopsy was the most frequent method applied for diagnosis [46, 48]. However, some studies also analyzed clinical, serological, and immunological data [46] or employed genotyping [47]. Risk factors for LN development or progression of diagnosed…

burns, can cause hypovolemic shock quickly, which can cause hypoperfusion of organs and ultimately multiple organ dysfunction, such as renal failure. Fluids can help reduce the risk of kidney damage. The provider should supportively explain these concepts of fluid loss, hypovolemic shock, and the prevention of kidney injury using simpler terms without jargon. Informing him of these concepts by explaining fluid loss similar can be done by using the example of a skin injury like a laceration or a…
