Acute Kidney Injury & Chronic Kidney Disease (Ch. 34)-- Definition First Flashcards

1
Q
  • Loss of ability to regulate Na+
    • Early CKD: Na+ & H2O loss
    • Late CKD: Na+ & H2O retention → Edema & HTN
  • 90% of K+ renally eliminated
    • ⇡ Hyperkalemia risk → Dysrhythmias
      • Dialysis (@ least 4 hrs.)
  • Ability to eliminate H+ & resorb HCO3-
    • Metabolic acidosis
