An electrolyte is an ionised component of a living cell, blood or any other matter and can conduct electricity when molten or dissolved. There are many different electrolytes found in our body such as sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium and so forth. Electrolytes have many functions throughout the body for instance controlling the water balance in the body. Also assisting transmitting nerve impulses and helping your muscles relax and contract. For example Sodium chloride which is also know by…

– Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is currently recognized as the preferred nomenclature for the clinical disorder formerly called Acute Renal Failure(ARF).This transition in terminology was meant to emphasize that the spectrum of the disease is much broader than a subset of patients who experience failure and require dialysis support .This nomenclature explains that renal failure occur as a continuum 1. AKIN recently defined AKI as “ functional or structural abnormalities or markers of kidney damage…

Hypovolemia is a state in which the blood volume, specifically the volume of the blood plasma, is decreased. This can also lead to an imbalance in the volume contraction, or a decrease in the volume of body fluid, which includes osmolytes. Hypervolemia is often linked with sodium depletion, and is distinctly different from dehydration. Causes include loss of blood, loss of plasma, and loss of osmolytes via diarrhea and vomiting. It is recognized by tachycardia and diminished blood pressure, as…

Review disease process, prognosis by providing knowledge base from which patient can make informed choices. Discuss renal dialysis and or transplantation and explain level of renal function. Although these options would have been previously presented by the physician, patient may now be at a point when options need to be considered and may desire additional input. Finally, provide emotional support…

plasma membrane rupture. The increased intracellular calcium activates several proteases, intensifies skeletal muscle cell contractility, induces mitochondrial dysfunction, and increases the production of reactive oxygen species, ultimately resulting in skeletal muscle cell death (Giannoglou,…

What is kidney failure? Kidney failure, also called end-stage renal disease. When someone’s kidney function gets below a certain point, it is called kidney failure. Kidney failure is when someone’s body cannot filter wastes from the blood. Kidney failure can make someone feel very ill and if it is left untreated it can be life-threatening. Kidney failure is life changing, it can be deadly and sometimes it can be treatable or…

2014). Examples of prerenal injury are renal artery thrombosis or hypotension secondary to hypovolemia caused by dehydration or hemorrhage in addition to shock either septic or cardiogenic (McCance &Huether, 2014). There the possibility…

of kidney disease. The risk factors associated with chronic kidney disease specific to Mr Goodpasture are hypertension, tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption (Berman et al., 2012; LeMone et al., 2013). The aetiology of Mr Goodpasture’s end stage renal disease (ESRD) is due to his history of hypertension as seen in his medical history. His lifestyle factors of smoking and drinking alcohol may be the cause of his hypertension as they can lead to atherosclerosis (Berman et al., 2012; Bullock &…

Acute Renal Failure Acute Renal Failure is the sudden loss of kidney’s ability to eliminate excess salts, fluids, and waste material from the blood. When the kidney loses the ability to filter, the body fluids can rise in dangerous levels. Acute renal failure can be reversible as long as it is treated on time. Medication and other treatments can be essential to stop the progress of this disease. If this is not treated on time, it can progress to an end stage and eventually death.…
