🗑
acid base balance   Control of production/reabsorption of bicarb; Reabsorb any bicarb from urinary filtrate; Bicarb= small, free movement at glomerulus; Can generate new bicarb in renal tubular cells too Excretion of some free acid in urine (small amt), other acid buffered

Acute vs chronic renal failure   Acute- sudden kidney failure- blood loss, injury, infection- sepsis chronic- end stage renal dx; months or years of dx  
🗑
acute vs chronic Glomerulonephritis   Acute- often associated with recent acute infection (i.e., Group A strep) Chronic- advanced stage of a group of kidney disorders, resulting in inflammation and gradual, progressive destruction of the glomeruli  
🗑
Nephritic syndrome   collection of signs (known as a syndrome) associated with disorders affecting the kidneys, more specifically glomerular disorders  
🗑
Nephrotic syndrome   nonspecific disorder in which the kidneys are damaged, causing them to leak large amounts of protein  
🗑
Female Urinary tract   Ureters, bladder, urethra Increased risk of UTI  
🗑
Male Urinary tract   Ureters, bladder, prostate, urethra  
🗑
micturition   voiding  
🗑
Lower UTI   Decreased emptying of bladder, increased concentration of urine, urinary stasis, obstructed urinary flow; Dysuria, frequency, nocturia, urgency, incontinence, suprapubic pain, Hematuria  
🗑
Upper UTI   Chills, fever, leukocytosis, bacteriuria, pyuria; Flank pain, N/V, fatigue, dysuria, frequency, wgt loss, thirst  
🗑
most common UTI bacteria   Escherichia coli  
🗑
Uncomplicated UTI   occurs usually in young person with no other complicating factors or comorbidities and infection is not recurrent  
🗑
Complicated UTI   occurs recurrently or in someone with other comorbidities or urologic abnormalities or diseases; often they are nosocomial  
🗑
How do bacteria evade these defenses?    
🗑
What is reflux of urine? Why does it increase risk of UTI?    
🗑
Nephrolithiasis   calcium stones are most common UTI, pain, pyuria, hematuria, urgency, N/V, diarrhea Obstruction, retention, risk renal damage, urosepsis  
🗑
Neurogenic bladder   dysfunction (spastic or flaccid) that results from a lesion of the nervous system → urinary incontinence;  
🗑
Neurogenic bladder cont'd   caused by spinal cord injury, spinal tumor, herniated vertebral disks, MS, congenital disorders, infection, or DM. Risks- Urinary stasis, need for catheterization – infection, urolithiasis, vesicoureteral reflux, hydronephrosis, kidney damage  
🗑
incontinence   Stress- involuntary loss of urine through an intact urethra as a result of sneezing, coughing, or changing position Urge- involuntary loss of urine associated w/ strong urge to void that cannot be suppressed mixed- combo of stress and urge.  
🗑
Urinary retention   Inability to empty the bladder completely during attempts to void → residual urine  
🗑
bladder CA   Tobacco= risk factor Hematuria= often first sign (microscopic first, then gross)  
🗑
reproductive differentiation   If estrogen present- gonads form into ovaries; if testosterone present- gonads form into 2 testes 8th week of gestation  
🗑
ova & sperm   Ova: Know that females born with total # of ova that mature over time and release with ovulation after puberty (continue 1/month until menopause) Sperm: Know that males produce sperm after puberty (continues lifelong)  
🗑
puberty   sexual maturation- Gonads produce more sex hormone; Lasts 2-3 yrs; Begins age 8-12 usually (girls before boys); Complete with capability of reproduction  
🗑
Menopause   cessation of menstrual flow  
🗑
GnRH   increased from hypothalamus  
🗑
Gonads   testosterone or estrogen  
🗑
Adrenal cortex   secretes progesterone, androgens produced here  
🗑
Anterior pituitary   secretes LH/ FSH  
🗑
Gonadotropins   Luteinizing hormone and Follicle-stimulating hormone- secreted from pituitary  
🗑
Testes- external male   Production of gametes (sperm) and sex hormones, Seminiferous tubules (spermatogenesis), Leydig cells  
🗑

testosterone- growth and devel   Nervous and skeletal tissue (skeletal muscle, cartilage of larynx); Increased sebaceous gland activity- acne;  
🗑
