| drugs that end in ASTERIDE are what category? | testosterone blockers |
| drugs that end in AFIL are in what category? | ED |
| define B.U.N | Blood urea nitrogen. A measure primarily of the urea level in blood. Urea is cleared by the kidney and diseases which compromises the function of the kidney will frequently lead to increased blood levels. The blood BUN level can also rise in patients who |
| define GFR | glomerular filtration rate |
| define SG | urine specific gravity |
| define nephritis | inflammation of the kidneys |

| what do the kidney functions do? | purify the blood. excretion of dissolved substances such as nitrogenous wastes, electrolytes, drugs and or metabolites, toxins |
| part 1 of kidneys, you want to maintain homeostasis. define Homeostasis | the process of maintaining a natural balance or equilibrium. equally intake and outtake of water. electrolyte balance. acid-base balance. |
| part 2 of kidneys, you want to maintain blood pressure. explain BP regulation | *plasma volume: urine goes up. plasma goes down. *blood vessel diameter: dilation BP goes down, contract BP goes up. *cardiac output heart goes up. blood pressure goes up. |
| part 3 of kidneys, produce Erythropoietin. | produce red blood cells. EPO- red blood cells ONLY. |

BP regula |

| define glomerulus | In the kidney, a tiny ball-shaped structure composed of capillary blood vessels actively involved in the filtration of the blood to form urine. does not filter plasma or protein |
| define ADH(anti-diuretic hormone) | A relatively small (peptide) molecule that is released by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain after being made nearby (in the hypothalamus). ADH has an antidiuretic action that prevents the production of dilute urine (and so is antidiuretic). |
