Q

What three forces control GFR?

A
  1. hydrostatic pressure (BP) - in artery - pushes out against artery walls
  2. Colloid osmotic pressure (pull from proteins, mostly albumin) - pulls fluid into blood stream
  3. Capsular hydrostatic pressure (from tubules to glomerulus) - pushes against artery wall outside in

Q

how is GFR reduced in the nephron and why does it work that way?

A

afferent arteriole - constriction
efferent arteriole- dilation
- if you constrict what is coming in and let what is in there flow out quickly then you reduce how much blood is being filtered.

Q

how is GFR increased in the nephron and why does it work that way?

A

afferent arteriole - dilation
efferent arteriole- constriction
- if you dilate what is coming in and lessen what is leaving, then you have more blood to be filtered

Q

What is Uremia?

A

a group of signs and symptoms that occur due to inadequate renal function and all the waste in the blood
- it’s a huge list

32
Q

how much urine output = oliguria?

A

<400 ml/day

33
Q

how much urine output = anuria?

A

<40 ml/day

34
Q

What is urea?

A

break down of proteins

35
Q

what is creatinine?

A

breakdown of muscle

36
Q

which gets absorbed a little bit, urea or creatinine?

A

creatinine

37
Q

How fast/slow do we see AKI onset?

A

quickly
hours to days

38
Q

which is potentially reversable? AKI or CKD?

A

AKI

39
Q

What is the most common cause of AKI?

A

ATN - acute tubular necrosis
- ischemia damages cells
- nephrotoxins damage cells

3 stages
1. initiation
2. maintenance
3. recovery

40
Q

What is the most common cause of death in AKI?

A

sepsis
waste builds up too fast and it can lead to septic shock
septic shock quickly leads to organ failure of multiple systems at once = death

41
Q

What is the best indicator of AKI?

A

blood work - easy to see the changes

42
Q

What is the general goal when someone has CKD?

A

slow the progression/ damage

43
Q

What is the most common cause of CKD?

A

diabetic nephropathy - uncontrolled diabetes

44
Q

What is it about diabetes that causes artery issues?

A

high glucose triggers an enzyme to increase calcium channel activity so then there is more constriction on the artery = narrowing = less blood and O2 = high BP = damage to the arteries in the kidney

45
Q

Is diabetic nephropathy a macrovascular complication or microvascular?

A

microvascular - think tiny arteries

46
Q

What are the 2 common causes of CKD?

A
  1. diabetic nephropathy
  2. HTN
47
Q

What specifically causes the development and progression of CKD (inside the kidney)

A

Death of Nephrons - when too many die you get CKD

48
Q

how many % of nephrons die before we start seeing sympyoms?

A

50-75%

49
Q

How many nephrons can you lose before RRT is needed?

A

90%

50
Q

What does CKD stage 1 represent?

A

Normal kidney function but at risk for CKD or mild kidney damage

51
Q

what are the symptoms of someone in stage 1 CKD?

A

likely none

52
Q

What does CKD stage 2 represent?

A

mild reduction in GFR

53
Q

what are the symptoms of someone in stage 2 CKD?

A

may be asymptomatic
OR
trouble concentrating urine - use urine specific gravity test
maybe increase or decrease of urine
maybe anemia

54
Q

What does CKD stage 3 represent?

A

moderate reduction in GFR
confirmed CKD if in this stage <60ml/min for >3 months
50% function lost

55
Q

what are symptoms of someone in stage 3 & 4 CKD?

A

may be asymptomatic
OR
electrolyte & fluid imbalances
worse anemia
oliguria <400ml
azotemia

56
Q

What does CKD stage 4 represent?

A

severe reduction in GFR

57
Q

What does CKD stage 5 represent?

A

ESRD - end stage renal disease

58
Q

What symptom do we see in stage 5 CKD?

A

uremia - all the bad things that make the body toxic. Kidneys no longer doing what the body needs so need RRT or transplant

59
Q

What is hyperfiltration and how does it affect nephrons in CKD?

A

The remaining nephrons have to work too hard

60
Q

What stage do patients likely start experiencing symptoms of CKD?

A

stage 2

61
Q

What effect does hyperfiltration have in CKD?

A

over time it causes fibrosis and scaring

62
Q

what is glomerulosclerosis ?

A

fibrosis and scaring of the nephron due to hyperfiltration in CKD

63
Q

what are the 3 secondary functions of the kidney?

A
  1. hormone secretion - RAAS
  2. EPO to make RBC
  3. activate vitamin D to help absorb calcium
64
Q

What hormone is released from the kidney when there is hypoxia?

A

Epo

65
Q

in early CKD is sodium normally low or high?

A

initially low

66
Q

At what point in CKD does sodium become high?

A

when the disease progresses

67
Q

why do we have to look at both eGFR and not just blood work to determine kidney damage?

A

because other factors can throw off urea and creatinine levels
1. race
2. age
3. sex

68
Q

in kidney disease, calcium is decreased in 2 ways. what are they?

A
  1. not enough vitamin D secreted to absorb dietary calcium
  2. high levels of phosphate bind to calcium
69
Q

What glands recognizes decreased calcium serum levels and what do they secrete?

A

parathyroid glands
parathyroid hormone (PTH)

70
Q

What does PTH do with calcium?

A

causes calcium to be released from the bones to help increase serum level

71
Q

what is the problem with PTH in CKD- why is it counter productive?

A

Because it causes more calcium release and that hurts the bones but more importantly, it binds to phosphate and metastatic calcification.
calcification can get into the nephrons and cause issues

72
Q

how does the body initially try to compensate for increased H+ due to not being able to secrete it through the kidneys as well in CKD?

A

kussmals respirations (respiratory response first)

73
Q

Why does metabolic acidosis happen with CKD?

A

can’t get rid of H+ effectively
can’t balance bicarb effectively

74
Q

what are the 3 hematological issues with CKD that we see in blood work?

A
  1. anemia b/c less epo
  2. platelet aggregation deficiency b/c uremia blocks it so people have GI bleed
  3. altered leukocyte function - b/c of uremia
75
Q

what would we see in someone who has CKD based on their hematological blood work?

A
  1. anemia- SOB, fatigue, increased RR
  2. GI bleeding - hypotension, blood in stool, vomit, elevated HR, fatigue, LOC issues
  3. infection - b/c not as many WBC

A
