CKD Flashcards
Normal GFR rate
90mL/min (or more)
what is the GFR calculated by
GFR is calculated based on creatinine, clarence level, gender, age,race, and weight
Uria (output)
less than <400mL/day
olgiluria
urinary output less than <50mL/day
what are the normal phosphate levels?
(2.7-4.5mg/dL)
what are normal calcium levels
(8.6-10mg/dL)
what are normal magnesium levels
(1.6-2.6mg/dL)
what are normal potassium levels?
(3.5-5.0mg/dL)
what is the parathyrome?(what is the side effect)
the parathyroid is a hormone that stimulates the bones to release calcium from within to fo into the blood to increase the blood serum (makes our bones weak and brittle)
Stage 1 of CKD
GFR >90mL/min/1.73
kidney damage with normal or increased GFR
Stage 2 of CKD
GFR= 60-89mL/min/1.73
Mild decrease in GFR
Stage 3 of CKD
GFR= 30-59mL/min/1.73
moderate decrease in GFR
Stage 4 of CKD
GFR= 15-29mL/min/1.73
servere decrease in GFR
Stage 5 of CKD
GFR<15mL/min/1.73
end-stage kidney disease of chronic kidney disease
- stage 5 results when the kidneys cannot remove the body’s metabolic wastes or preform thier regulatory functions
what is Anemia and how can it occur in Kidney failure?
anemia occurs due to low EPO, hematuria in the blood plus deficiency in other minerals (such as iron, folic acid, vitamin B12, help production)
What is Uremic frost and what causes it?
uremic frost is the crystalize patch of the skin (white frost) due to the deposits of urea crystals and waste in the blood
what is Uria?
Uria is the waste product from protein breakdown in the liver
what type of signs and symptoms would you see on a patient with high urea and creatinine in their system?
you would see nerologic problems and itching
what is creatinine?
creatinine is the waste product from the break down of muscle
what do you see in a patient with CKD? ion levels?
(high) phosphate
(high) potassium
(high)magnesium
(low) calcium
protein and Hematuria would be present (when is shouldn’t)
high amounts of fluid (hypervolemic) could lead to..
a lot of pressure in the heart leading to pulmonary edema and cardiac issues
what are some causes of CKD?
- Diabeties mellitus
- high blood pressure
- nephrotoxic drugs
- polycystic kidney disease
- infection
- acute kidney injury
what does diabetes do to the kidneys?
due to the uncontrolled hyperglycemia, glucose start to stick to the artery walls resulting in damage supply to the lungs
what does high blood pressure do to the kidney?
uncontrolled hypertension= high pressure on artery walls to kidney and become damaged resulting to less blood to nephrons
what are some nursing interventions for uremia?
encourage patient to follow a low protein diet due to high amounts of waste in the blood from urea
(you want to have some protein!!! but not high amounts)
what medications could lower the blood pressure?
ACE inhibitors “prill”
ARBS “sartan”
MONITER GFR + BP regularly
what could a patient do during the early stage of CKD?
control blood pressure + glucose
-take medication to lower blood pressure and protect kidney
