PATH 1016 RENAL DISORDERS STUDY SET WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS 100% VERIFIED!!
Renal Failure - ANSWER Condition where kidneys fail to filter blood effectively.
Pre-Renal Failure - ANSWER Caused by decreased blood supply to kidneys.
Intrarenal Failure - ANSWER Caused by problems within the kidneys themselves.
Post-Renal Failure - ANSWER Caused by obstruction of urine outflow from kidneys.
Acute Renal Failure (ARF) - ANSWER Abrupt decline in kidney function, usually
reversible.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) - ANSWER Progressive decline in kidney function over
time.
Nephron - ANSWER Functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtration.
Glomerulus - ANSWER Tuft of capillaries for blood filtration in kidneys.
Tubule - ANSWER Site for reabsorption and secretion of substances.
Collecting Duct - ANSWER Final site for urine concentration and delivery.
GFR - ANSWER Glomerular filtration rate; measures kidney filtration efficiency.
, BUN - ANSWER Blood urea nitrogen; indicates nitrogen waste levels.
Creatinine - ANSWER By-product of muscle metabolism; indicates kidney function.
Azotemia - ANSWER Accumulation of nitrogenous wastes in the blood.
Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN) - ANSWER Acute destruction of tubular cells, impairing
function.
Ischemia - ANSWER Insufficient blood supply to an organ or tissue.
Electrolyte Imbalance - ANSWER Disruption in normal levels of electrolytes in blood.
Hypocalcemia - ANSWER Low calcium levels in the blood, often due to kidney failure.
Nephrotoxins - ANSWER Substances that can cause kidney damage.
Fluid Retention - ANSWER Accumulation of excess fluid in the body.
Edema - ANSWER Swelling caused by excess fluid in tissues.
Pulmonary Congestion - ANSWER Fluid accumulation in the lungs due to heart failure.
Recovery Phase - ANSWER Phase where renal tissue repair and function restoration
occurs.
Maintenance Phase - ANSWER Phase with decreased GFR and retention of
metabolites.
