Renal Failure Flashcards
stimulates the bones to make red blood cells.
Erythropoietin (
active form
of vitamin D, helps maintain calcium for the bones
Calcitriol
EVERY MINUTE, ONE-FOURTH OF THE BODY’S
BLOOD APPROXIMATELY
1200 ML—PASSES
THROUGH THE KIDNEYS FOR FILTRATION.
COMPOSITION OF URINE
AQUEOUS SOLUTION
95% WATER
● ELECTROLYTES – NA, K, CL, BICARBONATE, MG,
CA ETC.
● WASTE PRODUCTS – UREA, URIC ACID,
CREATININE, CYANIDE, PO4
, SO4 ETC.
3 process required for urine formation include:
GLOMERULAR FILTRATION:
TUBULAR REABSORPTION:
* TUBULAR SECRETION:
CREATES A
PLASMA-LIKE FILTRATE OF THE BLOOD
- GLOMERULAR FILTRATION:
REMOVES USEFUL
SOLUTES FROM THE FILTRATE, RETURNS THEM TO
THE BLOOD
TUBULAR REABSORPTION: R
REMOVES ADDITIONAL
WASTES FROM THE BLOOD AND ADDS THEM TO THE
FILTRA
TUBULAR SECRETION
the syndrome in which glomerular filtration
declines abruptly (hours to days) and usually
reversibe.
ACUTE RENAL FN
Aki can be diagnosed with any of the following:
creatinine increase of 0.3 mg/dl in 48 hours.
2. creatinine increased to 1.5 times baseline within the
last 7days.
Failure in glomerular filtration leads to fall in GFR with
retention of waste substances that is to be cleared by
filtration including water.
GLOMERULAR DYSFUNCTION
ailure of reabsorption function of the tubules that
would result in voiding of large volumes of dilute
urine, of low specific gravity along with electrolytes
and nutrients
TUBULAR DYSFUNCTION
hypoperfusion of kidney.
PRE RENAL - failurre
- actual damage of the kidney tissue
