P22 - Urinary Part 2 Flashcards
ways that acute renal failure can lead to death without supportive therapy
- cardiotoxicity of elevated serum potassium
- metabolic acidosis
- pulmonary edema
T/F: anemia is only seen with acute renal failure
- false is seen with chronic renal failure and is non-regenerative
calcium and phosphorus levels in chronic renal failure
- hyperphosphatemia
- hypocalcemia
renal secondary hyperparathyroidism pathogenesis
- hpyerphosphatemia that results in hypocalcemia -> stimulates PTH secretion -> Ca mobilized by osteoclasts -> reduced bone density (osteopenia)
- may lead to fibrous osteodystrophy (bone replaced by fibrous tissue)
T/F: bilateral parathyroid gland hyperplasia is a common occurrence during renal secondary hyperparathyroidism
- true
acute renal failure parameters:
- PCV
- BUN/Creat
- Serum K
- urine volume
- kidney size
- bone density
- normal or increased (dehydration)
- previously normal with progressive increase
- +/- hyperkalemia
- oliguric initially
- normal or increased
- normal
chronic renal failure parameters:
- PCV
- BUN/Creat
- Serum K
- urine volume
- kidney size
- bone density
- decreased (reduced EPO)
- previously increased with sustained elevation
- usually normal with hyperkalemia only at end stage
- polyuric
- decreased
- may be decreased (renal osteopenia)
kidney portals of entry (4)
- ascending from ureter
- hematogenous
- glomerular filtrate
- direct penetration
ascending bacterial infection results in what type of inflammation
- suppurative pyelonephritis
what is the most important barrier of the renal corpuscle
- glomerular basement membrane
how do glomerular mesangium remove macromolecules
- phagocytosis
- part of monocyte-macrophage system
what part of the tubules prevents ascending bacteria from gaining access to interstitium
- tubular basement membrane
kidney dose have regenerative potential but only if what is intact
- basement membrane
where do you find most inflammatory cells when inflammation in the kidneys occur
- interstitium
injury to one part of the nephron results in what
- progressive damage to other components of the nephron with eventual loss of function
