The functional unit of the kidney that does the work - ANS -Nephron
A nephron is made up of - ANS -A glomerulus and a tubule
The endrocrine functions of the kidney include - ANS -making erythropoietin and the active for
of Vitamin D
The leading cause of End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) for adults in the U.S. - ANS -Diabetes
Patients with kidney failure often complain of itching, which is likely to be caused by - ANS -
HyperPhosphatemia
Why do kideny patients often have bone disease - ANS -Kidneys stop producing calcitriol
Symptoms that a patient may need more dialysis time include - ANS -Anorexia, fatigue, swelling
A semipermeable membrane is a porous barrier that - ANS -allows for only certain sized
particles to cross
Diffusion is movement of particles - ANS -from an area of higher concentration to an area of
lower concentration
, Negative Pressure is pressure created when - ANS -fluid is pulled through a restriction
During Dialysis, ultrafiltration occurs when - ANS -Water is removed from the blood because
there is a pressure gradient between blood and dialysate
at which point in the extracorporeal circuit is the blood usually under negative pressure - ANS -
The arterial line section before the blood pump
Which of the following will increase the amount of the solutes that will diffuse across the
semipermeable membrane - ANS -High concentration gradients
The components of the dialysate treatment that affect clearance include - ANS -Dialysate flow,
time of treatment, dialyzer size, blood flow rate
Two things that affect the dialyzer's ability to remove wastes from the body include - ANS -
Surface area and molecular weight cutoff
Dialysate is the fluid that helps remove waste products from the body. It contains a number of
substances. What might be prescribed for a dialysate solution - ANS -Bicarbonate, Sodium,
Potassium
What is the most important safety monitor during a dialysis treatment - ANS -The dialysis
technician
Dialysate conductivity measures - ANS -the total electrical charge of a solution
