,Prostatitis S/S - Correct answer-Fever
Chills
Tender prostate
Low back pain
Dysuria
Leukocytosis
Renal Calculus Cause - Correct 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 - Correct 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 - Correct answer-Urinary retention
Obstruction to flow
Decreased stream

, Hesitancy; difficulty initiating a stream
Interruption of the stream
Infection caused by retention
.Aldosterone - Correct 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) - Correct answer-Promotes retention of water by
kidneys and increases blood pressure.
Chronic Renal Failure Risk Factors - Correct answer-Diabetes
Hypertension
Recurrent pyelonephritis
Acute tubular necrosis
Glomerulonephritis
Polycystic kidney disease
Family history of CKD
Smoking
