CERTIFIED NURSE DIALYSIS QUESTIONS
WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS [ GRADED A+]
Erythropoetin - ✔✔a hormone produced by the kidney as a response to low 02
levels; this hormone stimulates erythrocyte production.
Calcitriol - ✔✔synthesized by the kidney, accelerates calcium production.
ADH/ Antidiuretic hormone - ✔✔Hormone produced by pituitary that enhances
water reabsorption and kidney acts as a receptor for.
ARF - ✔✔progresses quickly, lasts less than 3 months, and there is a loss of
nephron function. Usually reversible. Possibly due to trauma, infection, blockage,
glomerulonephritis, or toxins.

, Glomerulonephritis - ✔✔intrinsic or intrarenal type of ARF; dehydration, systemic
infection, and trauma are all possible causes of prerenal ARF
CRF - ✔✔lasts more that 3 months, with GFR remaining at less than 60ml/min,
blood chemistry abnormalities including elevated creatinine and BUN levels, and
renal ultrasound results that exhibit a smaller than normal kidney. Caused by
diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus, and hypertension.
less than 7% HbA1c - ✔✔optimal level of glycemic control for a diabetic patient
aldosterone - ✔✔synthesized by the adrenal cortex, causes the kidney to retain
water and sodium, thereby increasing blood pressure.
parathyroid hormone - ✔✔increases calcium: phosphate ratio and enhances the
calcium level in the blood
