Renal Pathology, Diuretics and Anesthesia PP#5 Number 2 Flashcards
Describe how dialysis works
- Blood passes across a membrane
- On the other side of the membrane is dialyzing fluid
- Undesired substance pass via diffusion
What 3 things determine rate of solute movement in dialysis?
- Concentration gradient
- permeability of membrane
- Amount of time blood in contact w/ membrane
How much blood is in the dialysis machine at 1 time?
500cc
What is given to prevent coagulation during dialysis?
Heparin
What are the common causes of ESRD?
- Diabetes 41%
- HTN 28%
- Other 18%
- Glomerulonephritis 11%
- Polycyctic kidney disease 3%
What are indications for dialysis?
- Fluid overload
- Hyperkalemia
- Acidosis
- Metabolic encephalopathy
- Pericarditis
- Coagulopathy
- Refractory GI symptoms
- Drug toxicity
What is a normal BUN?
10-20
how much urea is reabsorbed in the nephron?
40-50%
What causes an increase in urea reabsorption?
hypovolemia
What 4 things can increase BUN?
- ↓ GFR
- ↑ protein breakdown
- Sepsis
- blood degradation in GI tract
What is a normal creatinine value?
Men 0.8-1.3
Women 0.6-1.0
Creatinine is a byproduct of what?

Creatinine clearance is a way to measure what?
GFR
GFR decreases how much?
5% decline per decade after age 20
Why does creatinine levels remain stable with age?
Muscle mass declines with age
Low tubular flow rates _______ urea reabsorbtion
enhance
