409 Final 4 (CKD) Flashcards
Prognosis of CKD
its progressive and they don’t recover
ESKD is when
the functioning is so low that it can’t sustain the patients life
The stages of CKD are based on
GFR, which declines in each stage
“Renal Reserve” means
the amount of extra work the kidneys can handle
a person in stage 1 could have normal GFR, but
their renal reserve is decreased so they can’t handle extra stress from infection etc
renal reserve is decreased because the nephrons are
over compensating just to reach the normal GFR
In mild CKD, you still won’t see much a____
azotemia
In mild CKD, you might have increased ___ of ___
output of urine
In mild CKD the urine may be decreased and also
dilute
By the following doctors orders (i.e. diet and BP medication) can
slow the progression of mild CKD
In moderate CKD, the nephrons can’t
handle the normal workload anymore.
Severe/ESKD: You can’t make ___ urine
dilute
Severe/ESKD: the urine osmolarity is
fixed
Severe/ESKD: output
decreased
EARLY in CKD, the patient could have decreased sodium because
the nephrons don’t work well enough to reabsorb Na, also Na is lost because of polyuria
LATE in CKD, they have increased sodium because now
urine output is decreased
acid base balance in Early CKD
it’s not affected
acid base balance in Late CKD
you get metabolic acidosis because you’re not getting rid of hydrogen ions (also you have less bicarb)
in Late CKD the meta acidosis causes this respiratory finding
kussmaul
In early CKD you have ___ phosphate and ___ calcium
increase phosphate, decreased calcium (this affects bone density)
CKD cardiac changes: common BP finding
htn
CKD cardiac changes: HF can occur when the heart can’t handle the
excess fluid volume
Pericarditis can occurs because
the uremic wastes infects the pericardial fluids
