Midterm Flashcards
Label the efferent arteriole
Ang II mediated vasoconstriction is a regulatory mechanism that acts on:
efferent arteriole
Vasoreactive (myogenic) reflex acts on the:
afferent arteriole
Bilateral Pelvoureteral obstruction is an example of what type of renal failure?
Post- renal
Hypovolemia, decreased cardiac output, decreased effective circulating volume (CHF, Liver failure), impaired renal autoregulation, (NSAIDS, ACE1-ARB, & Cyclosporine) would all cause what type of renal failure?
pre-renal failure
What is NOT a risk factor for chronic kidney disease?
Dementia
Causes of chronic kidney diseases include:
- chronic glomerulonerphritis
- Systemic lupus erythmatosus
- Neoplasms
- Polycystic kidney disease
- AIDS nephropathy
- Diabetic nephropathy
Risk factors for chronic kidney disease include:
- Age (greater than or equal to 60)
- Smoking
- Obesity
- HTN (poorly controlled)
- DM
- Nephrotoxins/drugs
- Infections
- Low birth weight
- chronic inflammation
Results of RIGHT sided heart failure include:
- pulmonary edema
- coughing
- peripheral edema (arms + legs)
Results of LEFT sided heart failure:
- effects all organ systems
- decrease kidney function (leads to fluid retention)
- pulmonary edema
- coughing
Which ventricle typically fails first in heart failure?
left
What does the ejection fraction measure?
amount of blood pumped out / amount of blood in chamber
What is a normal ejection fraction?
55-70%
What is considered severely below normal in regards to EF?
Less than 35%
Reduced left ventricular EF:
systolic heart failure
Heart failure with NORMAL left ventricular EF:
diastolic heart failure
