acute glomerulonephritis Dx urine appears dark/smoky w/ blood, elevation in BUN and creatinine levels, biopsy needs of kidneys, loss of RBC & protein in urine, periorbital edema; mostly occurs in children and young adults
acute glomerulonephritis NI (4) monitor bp, I&O, educate regarding bedrest, check labs
chronic glomerulonephritis def slowly progressive disease characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli that causes irreversible damage to the kidney nephrons; autoimmune; 40% of ppl on diaylsis have it; kidneys shrink; nephrons loose ability to filter waste; irreversible
chronic glomerulonephritis s/sx (4) facial and body edema d/t fluid retention; urine becomes pale and dilute; mental changes d/t waste in blood; anasarca (total body edema)
obstructive disorders (3) urolithiasis, kidney stones, ureter stones
