38
What would be the mechanisms of injury for chronic renal failure with glomerulonephritis?

39
What would cause nephrotic syndrome in CRF:
-Large amounts of protein are lost in the urine due to destruction of or loss of negative charge on the capillary basement membrane in the glomerulus
40
What are the effects of renal failure on the body:
-Edema from water and salt retention -Acidosis -Increase in urea, creatine, uric acid, potassium, phosphates, phenols -Decrease of Erythropoetin -Increase in CO to compensate for decrease oxygen carrying capacities -prone to fluid overload and pulmonary edema -Minute ventilation is increased -abnormal glucose tolerance -Platelet and WBC dysfunction occurs Hypersecretion of gastic acid increases the risk of ulcers-Autonoic neuropathy can slow gastric empying -Peripheral neuropathy is common
41
What is osteomalacia?
-When the kidney cannot assist in the production of 1,25 hydroxycholecalvciferol which promotes the absorption of calcium in the intestine.
42
What causes hypertension in renal failure?
-Lesions in the kidney prevent sodium and water excretion which causes HTN
43
What are the determining factors of the rate of movement of solute across the dialysis membrane?
- Concentration gradient of the solute - permeability - surface area of the membrane - length of time the blood and fluid remain in contact with the membrane

Usually there is about ____ cc of blood in the dialysis machine at any time.

TRUE
61

62
What is the concern with enflurane and sevoflurane in the renal failure patient?
Fluoride accumulation

Cis-atracurium (due to the Hoffman elimination
65
What agents are to be avoided in the renal failure patient.
- Pancuronium - Pipecuronium - Alcuronium, - Doxacurium (This is due to renal excretion)

Hypovolemia
70
