COPD: disease complications
➣ cor pulmonale (right-sided HF)
➣ pulmonary hypertension
➣ Wt loss
➣ PNEUMOTHORAX can developed due to ruptured bullae or "blebs"
➣ death from respiratory failure/infection
COPD: pathophysiology
➣ combination of chronic bronchitis & emphysema
➣ chronic airflow restriction
➣ difficulty exhaling
(narrowed airways = more effort required to push air through them)
➣ PREVENTABLE and TREATABLE disease characterized by persistent airflow
limitation and is progressive

FUNCTIONS of the kidney include:
1) Waste Removal
➣ filters blood to remove creatinine + urea; kidneys then excrete these
(protein)
waste products via urine
2) Fluid-Balance Regulation
➣ adjusts the amount of water reabsorbed from blood into the urine
3) Electrolyte Balance
➣ controls the levels of K+, Na+, Ca+ & Mg that are either reabsorbed or
excreted
4) Acid-Base Balance
➣ Excretes H+ ions with urine
➣➣ Synthesizes bicarbonate ions
5) Blood Pressure Regulation
➣ produces the hormone, "renin" which helps regulate BP
6) Erythropoietin (EPO) Production
➣ hormone secreted in kidneys - that signals for RBC production in bone
marrow
7) Vitamin D Activation
➣ converts inactive Vitamin D into its active form; vital for bone health
8) Secrete Prostaglandins
