Normal creatinine levels? - (answer)Male: 0.6-1.2
Female: 0.5-1.1
Normal GFR? - (answer)90-120ml/min
At which GFR level does dialysis begin? - (answer)15
S/S of acute glomerulonephritis? - (answer)Headache, increased BP, facial edema, malaise, low
grade fever, weight fain, proteinuria, hematuria, and oliguria
S/S of chronic glomerulonephritis? - (answer)Proteinuria and hematuria
Lab findings for glomerulonephritis? - (answer)Increased BUN, CR
Decreased albuminin
Common s\e of hemodialysis? - (answer)Hypotension due to all of the blood and fluids leaving
the body
Nephrotic syndrome s\s - (answer)SEVERE proteinuria
MASSIVE edema
Hypertension, foamy urine, anasarca, ascites
Why might medication doses be decreased for a patient with kidney issues? - (answer)Due to
medications not being excreted through kidneys
, Prerenal causes - (answer)Due to decreased blood flow to kidneys
Cardiovascular disorders, hypovolemia, peripheral vasodilation, renal vascular obstructions,
severe vasoconstriction
Intrarenal causes - (answer)Due to damage to the gumeruli, interstitial tissue or tubules
(parynchymal damage)
Acute tubular necrosis, exposure to nephrotoxins, acute GNP, SLE, obstetric complications, and
malignant hypertension
Post renal causes - (answer)Obstruction to the urine collecting system
BPH
Phases of AKI - (answer)Oliguric
Diuretic
Recovery (if not then CKD may develop)
Oliguric Phase - (answer)Urinary changes (output less than 400ml/day)
Lasts 10-14 days
Neck veins distended, bounding pulse, edema, hypertension
Increased potassium (causing heart issues!)
Diuretic Phase - (answer)Daily urine output 1-3 liters may reach 5L or more
Monitor for hyponatremia, hypokalemia, and dehydration as well as hypotension
This phase may last 1-3 weeks
Why would calcium gluconate be given to a patient with AKI? - (answer)Due to hyperkalemia,
calcium gluconate raises the threshold at which dysrhythmias occur therefor protecting the heart
