15
Q

occurs when the body produces too much acid or when the kidneys are not removing enough acid from the body; can lead to acidemia (blood pH is less than 7.35) due to increased production of hydrogen by the body or the inability of the body to form bicarbonate (HCO3-) in the kidney or remove hydrogen ions effectively

Q

17
Q

effects of recurrent scarring in large blood vessel walls—laid down
in layers, it resembles a sliced-through onion—increases total peripheral resistance

A

Onion-skinning

18
Q

frequent urination

A

Polyuria

19
Q

plasma proteins in the urine

A

Proteinuria

20
Q

elevated uric acid in the blood, synonymous with failing kidneys; indicates metabolic wastes are not being cleared

A

Uremia

21
Q

because of high urea content in perspiration, as fluid evaporates from the skin a white powdery residue is left behind

A

Uremic Frost

22
Q

inflammation of blood vessels—these terms are used rather than arteritis or phlebitis when a condition affects both arterial and venous vessels, and also when it affects microvasculature primarily

A

Vasculitis/Angiitis
