| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Blood filtered by a semi-permeable membrane in the glomerulus | Glomerular filtration |
| Amount of blood filtered by glomeruli in a minute is about 120-125 mL per minute | Normal GFR |
| Most accurate indicator of renal function | GFR |
| Most accurate method of GFR estimate and is based on 24 hr urine collection and blood creatinine | Creatinine Clearance |
| Hormone that maintains Water balance and causes reabsorption of water (makes distal tubules /collecting ducts permeable to water) | ADH |
| causes reabsorption of Na+ and water; K+ excretion in distal tubules secretion affected by circulating blood volume & plasma K+/Na+ | Aldosterone |
| Secreted by cells in right atrium in response to atrial distention due to increase in plasma volume. | Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) |
| Clears blood plasma of unnecessary substances | Nephrons |
| Acts on kidneys to increase Na+ excretion; Inhibits renin, ADH, and action of angiotensin II on adrenal glands, thus suppressing aldosterone large volume of dilute urine results. | ANP |
| Released in response to low serum calcium levels Maintains serum Ca²+ by causing increased tubular reabsorption of Ca²+ ions and decreased tubular absorption of phosphate ions | Parathormone or Parathyroid hormone (PTH) |
| Erythropoetin and Vit D | Renal Hormones |

| Abnormalities that result in increased urine levels of calcium, oxalate, and uric acid are Metabolic Problems for stones. T or F | True |
| Males > Females and Blacks < Caucasians | True |
| ■ dehydration ■ immobility/calcium loss from bone ■ excess calcium, oxalate, protein intake ■ gout, hyperparathyroidism, ■ urinary stasis/recurrent UTIs | Predisposing Factors to stones |

| An endocrine disorder characterized by high levels of calcium in the blood and excessive calcium excretion in the urine | Hyperparathyroidism |
| The most common stones | Calcium stones |
| calcium oxalate calcium phosphate struvite uric acid cystine | 5 types of stones |
| Relieve pain Treat infection or obstruction Eliminate the stone Determine cause of stone formation Prevent recurrence | Medical goals |
| urinary concentration of uric acid Strong association with gout Thrives in an acidic environment Seen mostly in men | Uric acid stones |
| Obstruction -->Hydronephrosis -->Acute Renal Failure | Complications |
| Genetic autosomal recessive defect Rare Thrives in a acidic environment | Cystine Stones |
| Diagnosis includes UA Urine test for: calcium, uric acid, oxalate, urates, phosphates KUB, Renal Ultrasound IVP & Retrograde Pyelogram Labs, Renal function &Urine Culture | Renal Calculi Diagnosis |
| Stones formed from accumulation of magnesium-ammonium-phosphate agents Common in women Likes an alkaline environment | Struvite |
| Mostly associated with UTIs Urease -producing bacteria: (Proteus Mirabilis, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, species of staphylococci) Make urine alkaline appearance: staghorn | Struvite |
| dull, achy flank pain or silent | Kidney stone |
| Cause SEVERE PAIN due to obstruction; f/chills & hematuria | Ureteral stones |
| Percentage (%) that pass on their own | 90% |
| Force fluids (2-3 liters/day) Encourage ambulation or frequent changes in position Strain all urine Analgesics for pain Antibiotics if infection present Watchful waiting | Treatment |
| Nephrolithotomy Pyelolithotomy Ureterolithotomy Cystotomy **Stents or drainage tubes may be placed | Surgical incision |
| Size of stones unlikely to pass the ureters | >4mm |
| Vital signs Strict I&O Force fluids IV/PO Strain all urine Monitor pain level May have minimal bruising over shock site Ureteral stent may be left in place | Lithotripsy Post Care |
| Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (laser/ultrasound) Incisional lithotomy Cystoscope/ureteroscope- laser/extraction | PIC - invasive treatment |
| blood in the urine bruising on back or abdomen bleeding around organs discomfort as stone fragments pass through urinary tract if stone doesn't shatter completely, a second round of ESWL or ureteroscopic stone removal may be needed. | ESWL Complications |
| Non-invasive:/external shock waves Stents may be placed before or after lithotripsy No incision, less pain | extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) |

| Once stones retrieved or passed - prevention is the focus Force fluids 2-3 liters/day Water, cranberry juice Once composition of stone is known - further education may be necessary to alter the pH of the urine thus reducing instances of recurrence | Urinary Calculi- Patient Education |
| Encourage patient to finish all antibiotics given for UTIs Force fluids Acidify urine with foods that increase acidity (prunes, cranberries, asparagus, tomatoes, corn) | Struvite stones (Pt. Ed) |

| Indicated when bladder removed d/t cancer, neurogenic bladder, obstruction,(calculi, tumor, stricture), urinary retention, etc. | Urinary diversion |
| All diversions ‘divert’ urine away from bladder/kidney with use of tubes or similar devices. True or False | True |
| Required when bladder requires removal or for long term chronic conditions; (stoma formed from ileum) | Ileal Conduit |
| Continent ileal urinary reservoir | Indiana/Koch pouch |
| Post op - assess for bleeding at the site, Assure unobstructed drainage. If dislodged, CALL M.D. IMMEDIATELY NEVER CLAMP – why???? may have order to irrigate accurate I&O, If right or left--record each tube output separately keep urine acidic | Nursing Care r/t stents/tubes |
| required when bladder requires removal or for long term chronic conditions | Neobladder |
| Assessment: assess frequently, assess stoma, slight bleeding OK,access stoma - not sensitive, surrounding skin – why?? ;assess urine by stoma/tube NOT bag, foul smell? concentrated? avoid asparagus, cheese, eggs; mucous in urine, on stoma | Care of stoma and ileal conduit |
| Pink--red--dark purple--dusky--cyanosis--want it moist and red | Care of stoma and ileal conduit |
| Interventions ileal conduit: increase fluid intake urine pH < 6.5 because of alkaline encrustation, skin irritation Appliance – Ostomy Care/Patient Education similar to colostomy/ileostomy | Nursing care of ileal conduit |
| 1-2 pc appliances; empty 1/3 to 1/2 full; watch for leakage; don’t ‘patch’ with tape, change appliance in AM; Use gauze/tampon to contain/absorb urine when cleaning; use soap and water; ensure skin dry; use skin prep/protectant; use foley bag at night | Ostomy Care/Patient Education |
| Kock or Indiana Pouch; a continent ileal conduit urinary reservoir ascending colon/part of ileum made into ‘bladder’ reservoir exits thru abd. wall to make a stoma with a valve present (ureters implanted into ”new bladder” ) | Continent Urinary Diversion |
| catheter inserted into ‘valve’ to drain reservoir at intervals no appliance needed—could catheterize at night | Continent Urinary Diversion |
