Exam 3 according to Kirk Flashcards
pyelonephritis
inflammation of the kidney tissues, calyces, and renal pelvises
acute pyelonephritis
- abrupt onset
- painful urination
- usually from e. coli
chronic pyelonephritis
- scarring and atrophy
- reflux: urine going from the bladder to the ureter; gets backed up
- ends with renal failure
Dominant vs. recessive autosomal polycystic kidney disease
- both develop cysts on the nephrons and collecting tubules
- both cause pain, HTN, infection from sitting urine, and hematuria
- recessive almost always ends in renal failure
Normal creatinine clearance
85-135
Normal BUN
10-25
normal creatinine
1.2-1.5
cryptorchidism
undropped testes in children
prerenal AKI
- blood supply to the kidney is decreased
- from shock, dehydration, vasoconstriction, clot, atherosclerosis
postrenal AKI
- urine flow out of the kidney is blocked
- sitting urine forms crystals and stones
- from stones, tumors, enlarged prostate
intrinsic AKI
- kidney tubule function is decreased
- from ischemia, toxins, intratubular obstruction
kidney landmark
costovertebral angle
s/s of acute glomerulonephritis
azotemia, oligurla, cola-colored urine
Goodpasture syndrome
antibodies on the basement membrane cause inflammatory response
s/s of renal failure
decreased urine output, fluid retention, swelling in legs, ankles, feet, drowsiness, shortness of breath, fatigue, confusion, nausea, and in severe cases, seizures and coma
