Q

occurs as a result of volume depletion and prolonged reduction of blood flow to kidneys, which leads to ischemia of the nephrons. Occurs before damage to the kidney. Early intervention restoring fluid volume deficit can reverse AKI and prevent chronic kidney disease.

A

< 2 mg/dL

- indicator of kidney damage in a patient with diabetes

26
Q

what is the normal range of specific gravity?

A
  1. 005 - 1.030
    * 1.005 is more diluted
    * 1.030 is more concentrated
27

ocurs in boys 2 -5 years old due to infection not treated. (ex strep throat)

A

acute post infectious glomerulonephritis

39
