S/S of acute glomerulonephritis? - Correct answer-Headache, increased BP, facial
edema, malaise, low grade fever, weight fain, proteinuria, hematuria, and oliguria
S/S of chronic glomerulonephritis? - Correct answer-Proteinuria and hematuria
Lab findings for glomerulonephritis? - Correct answer-Increased BUN, CR
Decreased albuminin
Common s\e of hemodialysis? - Correct answer-Hypotension due to all of the

,MASSIVE edema
Hypertension, foamy urine, anasarca, ascites
Why might medication doses be decreased for a patient with kidney issues? -
Correct answer-Due to medications not being excreted through kidneys
Prerenal causes - Correct answer-Due to decreased blood flow to kidneys
Cardiovascular disorders, hypovolemia, peripheral vasodilation, renal vascular
obstructions, severe vasoconstriction
Intrarenal causes - Correct answer-Due to damage to the gumeruli, interstitial
tissue or tubules (parynchymal damage)
Acute tubular necrosis, exposure to nephrotoxins, acute GNP, SLE, obstetric
