Term
Definition
Function of kidneys   filter waste, excrete urine, control BP (RAAS), regulate RBC, break down drugs, metabolize hormone, synthesize vitamin D, manage electrolytes, conserve/excrete water, balance blood pH  
🗑
Kidneys receive how much of the body's cardiac output   20-25%  
🗑
Glomerular filtration rate   90-120 ml/min  
🗑
Glomerular filtration rate measures what?   perfusion to kidneys  
🗑
Nephron   basic unit of the kidney  
🗑
Major mechanism of the nephron   waste removal and water recycling  
🗑
Glomerulus   cluster of capillaries within Bowman's capsule  
🗑
What happens when blood flows through the glomeruli and bowman's capsule?   water and electrolytes leave the blood and pass through the proximal tubule  
🗑
How much H2O is reabsorbed back into the blood stream through the proximal tubule?   60%  
🗑
Loop of Henle   urea is secreted into the tubule fluid; 25% of filtered electrolytes is reabsorbed, 15% of H2O is reabsorbed  
🗑
Distal tubule   aldosterone reabsorbs Na and H2O in blood and secretes K  
🗑
Collecting duct   ADH reabsorbs water into bloodstream creating urine  
🗑
Glomerlus   blood is filtered at bowman's capsule  
🗑
Hypoxia   stimulates erythropoietin secretion by the kidney  
🗑
Low blood volume stimulates what?   renin secretion by kidneys  
🗑
Intrarenal dysfunction   Direct damage to renal tissue  
🗑
Postrenal dysfunction   Obstructive uropathy: kidney stones in ureter, posterior gland enlargement, cancer  
🗑
Hydronephrosis   urine backs up within ureter and into kidneys  
🗑
Acute renal failure: Prerenal   sudden drop in BP or interruption in blood flow to the kidneys from illness or injury  
🗑
Acute renal failure: Intrarenal   direct damage to kidneys by inflammation, toxins, drugs, and infections  
🗑
Acute renal failure: Postrenal   sudden obstruction of urine flow due to enlarged prostate, kidney stones, bladder tumor, or injury  
🗑
Acute tubular necrosis   Ischemia and hypoxia (low oxygen) damage renal tubules; lumen gets blocked, preventing flow and reducing urine formation  
🗑
4 phases of Acute Kidney Injury: Initial   time of insult until time of initial signs  
🗑
4 phases of Acute Kidney Injury: Obligarea   significant decrease in GFR, retention of urea, potassium, sulfate, and creatine < ml in 24 hrs  
🗑
4 phases of Acute Kidney Injury: Diuresis   Kidneys start to recover, healing occurs, fibrotic tissue may develop at damaged nephrons  
🗑
4 phases of Acute Kidney Injury: Recovery   starts with onset of increased urine output, healthy nephrons compensate for damaged ones  
🗑
Oliguria   less than 400 ml of urine in 24 hrs.  
🗑
Brown orange urine   dehydration or liver disease  
🗑
Pinkish red urine   kidney disease, UTI, tumor  
🗑
s/s if Acute kidney infection   fatigue, weakness, nausea, constipation, abdominal pain, confusion, edema, oliguria  
🗑
s/s of uremia   encephalopathy, anemia, hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, thrombocytosis  
🗑
Urinalysis tests for what?   Glucose/ketones, leukocytes, crystals, blood, nitrate  
🗑
GFR less than 15 means?   kidney failure  
🗑
Normal blood urea nitrogen:   5-20 mg/dL  
🗑
Normal serum creatine   0.5-1.5 mg/dL  
🗑
Benign prostatic hyperplasia   prostate gland increases in number because of testosterone stimulation; prostate obstructs urine outflow  
🗑
ulcerative colitis   affects mucosal layer of large intestine; begins in rectum and progresses proximally; no known cause  
🗑
Pancolitis   inflammation of entire colon  
🗑
s/s of ulcerative colitis   diarrhea, abdominal pain, pattern of remission, blood in stool, weight loss, severe dehydration, anemia  
🗑
Crohn's disease   patches of inflammation, lower right abdomen  
🗑
What does bicarb do with water?   reabsorbs  
🗑
What does hydrogen do with water>   moves  
🗑
RAAS   Renin release, Renin secreted from renal cortex, secreted from juxtaglomerular cells (kidneys) Renin leaves Angiotensinogen to Angiotensin I. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) mediated Angiotensin I converted by ACE to Angiotensin II  
🗑
