NUR 2063 / NUR2063: Essentials of Pathophysiology Exam 2 Review
Cryptorchidism complications - (answer)Fibrotic tubules with deficiency in spermatogenesis, infertility.
Amenorrhea - (answer)Absence of menstruation
Amenorrhea Causes - (answer)Hormonal disturbances
Stress
Neoplasms (ovarian, adrenal, pituitary tumors)
Complications of Dialysis - (answer)Cardiovascular disease
Hypervolemia
Depression
Prostatitis - (answer)Inflammation of the prostate.
Most common association is E. coli.
Prostatitis S/S - (answer)Fever
Chills
Tender prostate
Low back pain
Dysuria
Leukocytosis
Renal Calculus Cause - (answer)Urine becomes supersaturated with specific solute that forms crystals.
Crystallization is enhanced when a person is dehydrated or has higher than normal levels of solute in the
urine from excessive secretion (calcium, uric acid).
, Renal Calculus S/S - (answer)Dull, localized flank pain Acute discomfort accompanied by nausea and
vomiting, diaphoresis (sweating), tachycardia, and tachypnea (abnormal, rapid breathing) Renal colic
(intermittent, sharp pain) develops as the stone moves to the ureteropelvic junction
Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy S/S - (answer)Urinary retention
Obstruction to flow
Decreased stream
Hesitancy; difficulty initiating a stream
Interruption of the stream
Infection caused by retention
.Aldosterone - (answer)"salt-retaining hormone". Steroid that promotes the retention of Na+ by the
kidneys. Na+ retention promotes water retention, which promotes a higher blood volume and pressur
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) - (answer)Promotes retention of water by kidneys and increases blood
pressure.
Chronic Renal Failure Risk Factors - (answer)Diabetes
Hypertension
Recurrent pyelonephritis
Acute tubular necrosis
Glomerulonephritis
Polycystic kidney disease
Family history of CKD
Smoking
Age over 65 Ethnicity
Chronic Renal Failure Causes - (answer)The outcome of the progressive and irrevocable loss of nephrons.
More than 75% of the total number of nephrons must be lost before clinical manifestations appear.
