Test 3 LAB VALUES Flashcards
Normal Urinary output
30ml/hr
Oliguria is considered less than ____ ml in 24hrs
400ml
Anuria is considered less than _____ml in 24hrs
100ml
Renin
Raises blood pressure as a result of angiotensin (local vasoconstriction) and aldosterone (volume expansion) secretion
Prostaglandins
Regulate intrarenal blood flow by vasodilation or vasoconstriction
Erythropoietin
Stimulates bone marrow to make RBCs
Vasopressin
Makes distal convoluted tubule permeable to water to maximize reabsorption and produce a concentrated urine
Aldosterone
Promotes sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion in distal convoluted tubules and CD; water and chloride follow sodium movement
Natriuretic hormone
Causes tubular secretion of sodium
BUN - Blood urea nitrogen
10-20mg/dL
Chronic - may reach 180 -200 before manifestations develop
Acute - increases by 10-20 at same pace as serum creatinine level
Creatinine clearance
- how well creatinine is cleared from kidneys. If not doing well, we shouldn’t administer meds that have to be filtered through kidneys..
Serum Sodium
135-145
Creatinine clearance
Males: 0.6-1.2 mg/ dL
Females: 0.5-1.1 mg/ dL
- how well creatinine is cleared from kidneys. If not doing well, we shouldn’t administer meds that have to be filtered through kidneys..
- The serum creatinine level does not increase until at least 50% of the kidney function is lost, and therefore any elevation of serum creatinine values is important and should be assessed further.
Serum phosphorus
3.0 - 4.5
Hemoglobin
W: 12 -16
M: 14 - 18
