Quiz 1 real Flashcards
What are the 6 functions of the kidneys?
- Blood Pressure Regulation
- Excretion of waste
- Maintenance of blood pH
- Produce EPO
- Vitamin D Synthesis(last 2 steps)
- Gluconeogenesis
What is the estimated daily urine output
1440-2880mL
What is a normal GFR
120/mL/min
What are the functions of the basement membrane?
-allows only certain size molecules through and has a charge which repels protein to allow blood to continue down stream
What happens when the basement membrane is damaged?
blood and large molecules will pass through and proteins can get spilled leading to proteinuria and hematuria
What is secreted when there is low blood volume? What does this do?
- Renin is secreted
- increased blood pressure
What is intractable blood pressure?
What population is it common in?
- renin increases leading to even higher blood pressure
- Atherosclerosis
When a patient has kidney pain what is causing the pain?
Inflammation
What simple urine test reveals the concentration ability of the kidneys?
Urinalysis/Specific Gravity
What finding in a patients vitals can help differentiate between simple cystitis and pyelonephritis?
Temperature
What type of casts are found in people with renal failure?
Waxy Casts
What specific lymph node is palpated when concerned about a testicular condition?
Left supraclavicular lymph node

What are common urological ddx’s for weight loss?
- advcanced
- renal insufficiency due to obstruction
- renal insufficiency due to infx
What are common urological ddx’s for failure to thrive?
-Children suspect chronic obstruction, UTi or Both
how do you differentiate between nephritic and nephrotic syndrome?
24 hour urine test
Constant pain indicates?
Infx
Pain that comes and goes indicates?
Obstruction
What is normal specific gravity
What level do you start to see diminished renal function?
- 00-1.030

What does Bun indicate
Blood urea nitrogen
-indicates GFR, influenced by dietary proteins, hydration, GI bleeding and drugs
What is a normal BUN
7-20
What does an elevated Bun indicate
decreased kidney function
What is a normal BUN/creatinine ration
> 20:1 signifies increased BUN ) indicates something is happening prior to the kidneys
<10:1 signifies renal damage leading to decreased reabsorption of BUN
what is a normal GFR for males and females
Males: 56-84
Females: 50-80

Blood and casts think?
renal endothelial damage
