| Question | Answer |
| Most accurate indicator or fluid loss/gain in Pt | Weight, 1 kg=1 L retained fluid |
| Clinical manifestations r/t Glomerular injury | Proteinuria, Hematuria, Decreased GFR, Alterations in Na excretion |
| Kidney size r/t Acute glomerulonephritis | Kidneys become large and congested |
| Uremia | Excess urea/nitrogenous wastes in blood |
| Hypertensive encephalopathy r/t Acute glomerulonephritis | HE is a complication of AG, Medical emergency |
| Therapy r/t Hypertensive encephalopathy | Reduce BP w/out impairing kidney function |
| Chronic glomerulonephritis indications | Retinal hemorrhages, Feet swollen at night |
| Changes d/t Renal failure | Hyperkalemia, Metabolic acidosis, Anemia, Mental status changes |
| Medications that contribute to intrarenal damage | NSAIDs and ACE inhibitors |
| Earliest manifestation r/t Tubular damage | Inability to concentrate urine |
| BUN level r/t Serum creatinine level | Both increase/decrease together |
| Normal serum creatinine level | < 2 mg/dL |
| Weight r/t Negative nitrogen balance | Weight is lost |
| Body systems r/t Uremia | Virtually all are effected d/t Chronic renal disease(ESRD) |
| Creatinine clearance vs. Serum creatinine vs. BUN level r/t Glomerular filtration decrease | GF and CC decrease, Serum C and BUN increase |
| Most common dialysis method | Hemodialysis |
| Bloody drainage r/t Peritoneal dialysis | Seen in first few exchanges after insertion of new catheter |
