1. nephrotic syndrome: Type of kidney disease characterized
by increased glomerular permeability and is manifested by
massive proteinuria
2. S/S of nephrotic syndrome: The major manifestation of
nephrotic syndrome is edema.
It is usually soft and pitting and commonly occurs around the
eyes (periorbital) In dependent areas (sacrum, ankles, and
hands) Abdomen (ascites).
Patients may also exhibit irritability, headache, and malaise.
3. Hypercholesterolemia is a sign of: nephrotic syndrome
due to the liver attempting to compensate

4. Complications of nephrotic syndrome: Infection (due to a
deficient immune response)
Thromboembolism (especially of the renal vein)
Pulmonary embolism
AKI (due to hypovolemia)
Accelerated atherosclerosis (due to hyperlipidemia)
5. Nursing care for nephrotic syndrome: Medication
education
Importance of dietary
adherence Physician
notification of changes
6. Treatment for nephrotic syndrome: Diuretic agents for
edema
ACE inhibitors (lisinopril)
Lipid-lowering agents for hyperlipidemia.
Diuretics (Furosemide)
Lipid-lowering agents (Rosuvastatin)

7. Growth of numerous fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys
which destroy nephrons: Polycystic kidney disease
8. Cysts in the liver and problems in other areas such as the
blood vessels in the heart and brain can be caused
by_____________________: Polycystic kidney disease
9. Increased kidney size
Hematuria
Polyuria (mainly in recessive)
Hypertension
Development of renal calculi
Associated UTIs
Proteinuria
Abdominal fullness and flank pain (back and lower sides):
S/S of polycystic kidney disease
10. Recessive polycystic kidney disease: typically occurs in
children

NSG
11. Dominant polycystic kidney disease: more common in
adults
12. Patient education for polycystic kidney disease: Increase
fluid intake unless indicated otherwise
Do not take NSAIDS because it can make it worse
Perineal care before and after urination or deification
DASH diet
Regular physical activity
Stop smoking to help the blood pressure
13. Complications of PDK: Hematuria
Polyuria
Hypertension
Development of renal calculi
UTIs
Proteinuria
14. Prerenal AKI: Cause is "before" Glomerular Apparatus;
MOST COMMON AKI *Reduced renal artery blood flow
