Exam Review from class -josh Flashcards
All taken from Ingrids notes she took
ECF volume is controlled by what
Aldosterone
ECF osmolarity is controlled by what?
ADH
Creatiinine is not reabsorbed by the kidneys, it is a waste product of what?
muscle metabolism
does normal creatinine equal good renal fxn?
nope could still have decreased GFR
BUN has alot of confounding factors a level of what usually indicats bad GFR
> 50 mg/dL
what is teh first thing to go w/ injury to the kidneys?
ability to concentrate urine (you can’t concentrate it)
What test is expensive but is a better indication of renal function than creatinine
Cystatin C
what is a blanket term to describe bad things that happen to the kidneys?
AKI
what is Oliguric AKI UOP
< 400 cc/day
What is non-oliguric AKI UOP
> 400 cc/day
GFR is determined by what?
ultrafiltration coefficient
In the kidneys there are 2 smooth muscle sphincters at teh capillary bed. it can constrict what 2 things
Efferent arterioles
or
Afferent arteriole
what is prerenal Azotemia
nothing wrong w/ the kidney but something is making them work harder
What is intrarenal Azotemia
problem lies within parenchyma
what labs will help you differentiate b/t pre and interrenal Azotemia
BUN/Creatinine and osmolality
so if BUN/Creatinine ratio 20 x more BUN than creatine it is what pre or intra renal
Prerenal (BUN is dehydration status indicator-creatinine not reabsorbed)
BUN/Creatine ration if 10-20 x more BUN then is it pre or intra renal
Intrarenal
if urine osmolality > 500 mOsm/kg what is it pre or inter
pre
if urine osmolality is < 400 mOsm/Kg what is it pre or inter renal
interrenal
Obstruction of urinary outflow tract is what type of renal faliure?
post
does n dopamine work?
nope
