disease process. Both the Hemoglobin and hematocrit are low which can be a sign of kidney failure. When the kidneys start to fail the amount of erythopoietin being relased c often times decreases and the erythopoietin is what stimulates the red bloos cell production. WBC’s are on the low side but still within normal range. Sodium is low, the normal is 135-145, this can be caused by the kidney injury the kidenys are reabsorbing more sodium and water follows so the water dilutes the amount of…

The Kidney is are two bean-shaped organs which filter about 120-150 quarts of blood daily to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine, composed of waste materials and toxic fluids. There are two main types of methods to treat kidney disfunction namely Kidney transplantation and Kidney dialysis. This essay will discuss the positive and negative impacts of these two solutions on a patient with kidney failure. Kidney transplant is the transfer of a healthy kidney from one person into the body of a…

potassium back into the cell. This is done by enhancing the activity of the Na-K pump. The reason glucose is also administered at the same time is to hypoglycemia.

By increasing the threshold potential…

Kidney stones, also known as renal calculi, are essentially smaller sized deposits of calcium which can be found in the nephrons and vary in size and shape. The stones have the opportunity to increase and travel down into the urinary tract, which can cause extreme pain throughout the body. Stones occur when salts in the urine form into a solid crystal. They can potentially block the flow of urine in the body and cause infection, kidney damage, or could lead to kidney failure. A sudden change or…
