OBLIGATORY WATER REABSORPTION

41
Q

What is the hormone responsible for retaining water in the body in hypovolemia?

A

VASOPRESSIN

42
Q

The kidneys respond to acid base imbalances by:

A

ELIMINATING MORE BICARBONATE

43
Q

Sudden and severe drop in blood
pressure (shock) or interruption
of blood flow to the kidneys from
severe injury or illness

44
Q

Direct damage to the kidneys
loviniammaton. foxins. druas
infection, or reduced blood supply

A

INTRA RENAL

45
Q

Sudden obstruction of urine flow
due to enlarged prostate, kidney
stones, bladder tumor, or injury

A

POST RENAL

46
Q

Occurs when impaired blood flow that leads to HYPOPERFUSION of the kidneys and decreased GFR. Also called “Before the kidney”

47
Q

Occurs when there is parenchymal damage to the glomeruli and/or kidney tubules. “In the Kidneys”

A

INTRA RENAL

48
Q

Occurs when there is an obstruction in the distal part of the kidneys (ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra) that often leads to rise in pressure in the kidney tubules and ↓ GFR.
