Renal Up to Chronic Kidney Disease Flashcards

1
Q

What are the 3 major roles of the kidney?

A
  1. Maintain osmotic pressure by regulating blood concentrations of many ions
  2. regulates the volume of the extracellular fluid by controlling Na2+ and water excretion
  3. Helps regulate the acid-base balance by excreting H+ when there is excess acid and HCO - when there is an excess base.

A

recognize risk factors and presentations of UTI’s

Great for pelvic floor pts to improve pelvic floor muscles and alleviate pain, weakness, and dysfunction.

31
Q

What is GFR?

A

A direct measure or an estimate of the rate at which materials in the blood are filtered by the kidneys

Q

What is acute renal failure?

A

an abrupt decrease in renal function sufficient enough to result in retention of nitrogenous waste and disrupt fluid and electrolyte homeostasis.

37
Q

What big drugs are associated with renal failure?

A

NSAIDS and ACEi, aminoglycosides, methotrexate

protein (proteinuria)

43
Q

What are causes of CKD?

A

DM
HTN
Glomerulonephritis
repeated UTI’s
autoimmune disorders

44
Q

Is stage 1 of chronic kidney disease reversible?

A

possibly

45
Q

Stage 1 of CKD is characterized by:

A

microalbuminuria
elevated BUN and creatinine

46
Q

Stage 2 of CKD is characterized by:

more albumin in the urine
azotemia (accumulation of nitrogen-containing waste products in the blood)

47
Q

Stage 5 of CKD is described aka:

A

End Stage Renal Disease

48
Q

What are characteristics of stage 5 CKD?

A

Loss of kidney function
Uremia (an excess of amino acid, protein, urea, and creatinine in the blood)
kidneys cannot excrete toxins, maintain pH, fluid or electrolyte balance

49
Q

Pts in Stage 5 CKD need:

A

transplant or dialysis

50
Q

What are the clinical manifestations of CKD?

A

Anemia (loss of erythropoitin, GI bleeds)
CVD (HTN, CAD, CHF)
GI (N and V, anorexia, gastritis)
MS (increased bone reabsorption myopathy)

51

Neurological clinical manifestations of CKD =

A

memory loss
inability to concentrate
perceptual errors
decreased alertness

52
Q

At what GFR will these neurological manifestations occur?

A

below 10 ml

53
Q

What is Hemodialysis?

A

removes blood from the body & sends it across a semipermeable membrane and dialysate. The pressure gradient will remove the harmful substances.

54
Q

What is required to perform hemodialysis?

A

vascular access

55
Q

What do therapists need to stay away from if a pt is receiving hemodialysis?

A

the fistula

56
Q

What measures dialysis adequacy?

A

the urea reduction ratio

57
Q

Each dialysis trx should reduce:

A

urea levels (aka BUN) by 65%

58
Q

What is peritoneal Dialysis?

A

continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

59
Q

do you need vascular access for peritoneal dialysis?

A

no

60
Q

What are 5 things we need to remember about peritoneal dialysis?

A
  1. It is less efficient than hemodialysis
  2. refill abdominal cavity 4 - 5x daily
  3. performed at home
  4. fewer adverse effects than hemodialysis
  5. access favors infection
61
Q

What do I need to know about the diet of those receiving dialysis?

A

fluid intake is limited
electrolyte intake is limited
low protein diet then progress to high protein diet

61
Q

What do I need to know about the diet of those receiving dialysis?

A

fluid intake is limited
electrolyte intake is limited
low protein diet then progress to high protein diet

62
Q

what are the adverse effects of CKD?

A

fluid shifts
depression
increased risk of infection
malnutrition
progressively increasing osmotic concentration as time since dialysis lengthens

63
Q

For a kidney transplant, how do you match the donor and recipient?

A
  1. Tissue type and blood type but primarily blood type
64
Q

What is the most common cause of CKD?

A

Diabetic nephropathy

65
Q

What specific condition leads to glomerular hyperfiltration which will damage the arterioles and capillaries in the glomeruli?

A

hyperglycemia

66
Q

What will hyperfiltration of the glomerulus cause?

A

thickening of the glomerular basement membrane

67
Q

thickening of the glomerular basement membrane leads to:

A

intraglomerular hypertension and destruction of the glomeruli.

68
Q

Why does diabetes cause CKD?

A

the nephrons will begin to fail if there are chronic high concentrations of glucose

69
Q

What is a representation of glomerulofiltration rates?

A

Hemoglobin A1C levels

70
Q

Why does hypertension cause CKD?

A

ischemia will cause damage to the kidneys and will not allow regulation of whole body BP

71
Q

What are the 3 things PTs must-do for pts who have CKD and diabetes?

A

Monitor BP!
How HbA1C levels
