TEST 3 Flashcards
rate at which a substance is excreted in the urine
renal clearance measures
glomerular filtration rate is measures
the volume of plasma that is filtered each minute
what tells you when a patient is in renal failure
GFR- glomerular filration rate
GFR normal kidneys
anything 60 or above
GFR kidney disease
15-60
GFR kidney failure
15 or less
what does blood urea nitrogen BUN tell you
dehydration- the higher the number the more dehydrated the patient is
what does this serum creatinine tell you
how the kidney is functioning/filtering
wastes product from muscles
creatinine
comes from protein breakdown
urea
ratio of bun to creatinine
10:1
why should protein not be in the urine
protein is a big substance so for it to be filtered that means there is something wrong with the filtration rate
proteinuria
protein in the urine
osmolarity and specific gravity
tells you about particles whether the solutes in the urine are concentrated or not ; anything greater than 1.10
higher the specific gravity in a urine test
more dehydrated ; higher the number the more solutes than water
antidiuretic hormone
doesn’t let you diurease ; not pee; against the release of water
normal pH of urine
4.5-8
complete absence of development of one or both kidneys (unilateral RA or bilateral RA respectively
renal agenesis
renal agenesis is a change in what gene
Pax2 gene- mutation
renal agenesis is an autosomal
dominant
most life threatening component of potter syndrome is
pulmonary hypoplasia; lungs not forming
The kidneys are small in size and have less than the normal number of calyces and nephrons
renal hypoplasia
Common cause for pediatric renal failure and adult onset disease
renal hypoplasia
enlargement of the kidney. urine collects in the infected kidney so it forms fluid like sacs
multicystic dysplastic kidney disorder
