Other Systems Part Four Flashcards
what is hyponatremia
excess sodium
causes of hyperkalemia
inadequate secretion with acute renal failure
kidney disease
metabolic acidosis
sickle cell anemia
purpose of the accessory glands
prepare sperm for ejaculation
what is contraindicated regarding shunts for dialysis
taking BP at the shunt site
what is respiratory acidosis
CO2 retention
what is dialysis dementia
signs of cerebral dysfunction as the result of long-standing years of dialysis treatment
what is metabolic alkalosis
pH above 7.45
symptoms of kidney stones
renal colic pain
lower quadrant pain
nausea/vomitting
what is blood urea nitrogen
urea produced in the liver as a by-product of protein metabolism that is eliminated by kidneys
symptoms of metabolic acidosis
weakness
muscular twitching
malaise
nausea
headache
dry skin
what is dialysis
process of diffusing blood across a semi-permeable membrane for the purposes of removal of toxic substances
purpose of renal pelvis (kidney)
drains kidney into lower urinary tract (bladder and urethra)
what can metabolic acidosis lead to
stupor and coma
what is hyperkalemia
excess potassium
purpose of the golmerulus of the kidney
filters the blood and nephron tubules
normal serum pH
7.35-7.45
what is the glomerular filtration rate
amount of filtrate that is formed each minute as blood moves through the glomeruli
when are blood urea nitrogen levels increased
increased protein intake
GI bleeding
dehydration
causes of metabolic alkalosis
excess vomitting
excess diuretics
hypokalemia
peptic ulcer
excessive intake of antacids
how is glomeruluar filtration rate accounted for
creatine levels in blood and pee
what is respiratory alkalosis
diminished CO2
what type of breathing is present with metabolic acidosis
hyperventilation
what is stress incontinence
sudden release of urine due to increases in abdominal pressure (coughing, laughing, exercise)
or
weakness and laxity of pelvic floor musculature
kidneys AKA
renal
causes of hyponatremia
water intoxication
excess ADH
type of breathing with metabolic alkalosis
hypoventilation
purpose of the urethra (males)
elimination of urine and semen
purpose of ureter
moves urine
what is uremia
end-stage toxic condition resulting from renal insufficiency and retention of nitrogenous waste in the blood
what is metabolic acidosis
blood pH falls below 7.35
what is urge incontinence
bladder begins contracting and urine is leaked after sensation of bladder fullness is perceived
what is hypokalemia caused by
diarrhea
vomit
metabolic acidosis/alkalosis
renal tubular disease
kidney stones AKA
renal calculi
symptoms of chronic prostatitis
urinary frequency and urgency
myalgia
arthralgia
LBP/perianal pain
purpose of the ductal system
stores and trasports sperm
what is homeostasis regulated through
regulated through third mechanisms and renal function via circulating antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
what is an important gauge of renal function
glomerular filtration rate
intervention for kidney stones
extracorporeal shocl wave lithotripsy
what is hypokalemia
deficient potassium
renal calculi AKA
kidney stones
renal AKA
kidneys
nonbacterial prostatis symptoms
LBP
pain in dick, testicles, scrotum
painful ejaculation
decreaed libido
purpose of bladder
collects urine
respiratory alkalosis is associated with what type of breathing
hyperventilation
causes of metabolic acidosis
diabetes
renal insufficiency =/failure
diarrhea
what is endometriosis
ectopic growth and function of endometrial tissue oustide of the uterus
what is dialysis disequilibrium
symptoms of nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, and seizers
rapid changes after beginning dialysis
purpose of the testes
produce male sex hormones (testosterone)
and
spermazoa
hypernatremia symptoms
circulatory congestion (pitting edema/weight gain)
pulmonary edema
HTN
tachycardia
what causes urge incontinence
detrusor muscle instability/hyperreflexia
sensory instability (hypersensitive bladder)
