Q

Acid base

A

LOOK in your damn notes

bottom line kidneys either reabsorb HCO3 through that dumb equation or make a new one with glutamine metabolism

Q

hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis how get to alk and tx

A

vomiting loss of Cl- so kidney increased the reabsorption of HCO3 to compensate for the loss of neg end up with Alkalosis

Q

K in the distal tubule how does it get places

A

Basolateral membrane: Na-K pump, reabsorb Na, kicks out K

Apical membrane: H and K exchanger: K in to lumen (pee out) if acidic won’t reabsorb H there for won’t kick out K

Q

Creatinine is affected by 2 factors

A

1 rate muscle produces it
2 rate kidney (GFR) excretes it
if no muscle breakdown, then creatinine is a constant.
increase- decreased function

30
Q

As GFR decreased creatinine does what

increases

Q

s/s of intrarenal disorders

A

Pain- renal/kidney pain called nephralgia, CVA tenderness, flank pain. DULL constant character, T10-L1 SNS afferent neurons

some kidney development in fetus
can lead to pediatric ESRD
1 normal kidney can maintain normal renal function.
life long kidney monitoring

43
Q

polycystic kidney disease is what and causes what?

A

genetic: fluid filled cysts

can restrict kidney filtration/urine formation

Q

polycystic kidney disease autosomal dominant different chromosomes

A

Chromosome 16- PKD1

Chromosome 4 PKD2

46
Q

whats happening in polycystic disease and it causes

A

decrease in intracellular Ca
increase in cAMP

Q

polycystic kidney disease s/s 2, tx

A

hypertension and pain

tx: supportive, controlling BP. may initiate dialysis

aysmptomatic until advanced: pain, CVA tenderness, hematuria, palpable mass

49
Q

Acute pyelonephritis what where dx, tx

dx: WBC cast in urine (upper UTI)
tx: antimicrobials

50
Q

Chronic pyelonephritis can do what, why

can result in chronic kidney disease
associated with reflux/obstruction- chronic urine stasis
s/s: abd/flank, fever, malaise, anorexia
tx: correct underlying problem- extended Abx

51
Q

obstruction causes what

A

urine stasis–infx and structural damage, dilation in tract proximally

52
