NUR 265 EXAM 1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What is nephrotic syndrome? - correct answer A condition of increased
glomerular permeability that allows larger molecules to pass through
the membrane into the urine and then be excreted.
What are key features of nephrotic syndrome? - correct answer -
*Massive proteinuria*
-*Hypoalbuminemia*
-*Edema (facial and periorbital)*
-Lipiduria
-Hyperlipidemia
-Increased coagulation
-Reduced kidney function
,NUR 265
In nephrotic syndrome, severe protein loss in the urine is greater than
what? - correct answer 3.5g in 24 hours
What is nephrotic syndrome treated with? - correct answer -
immunosuppressant agents (if immunity based).
-ACE inhibitors (decreased protein loss in urine)
-statins (improve blood lipid levels).
-Heparin (used to treat vascular effects and improve kidney function)
Describe the "risk" stage for AKI - correct answer creatinine x 1.5 of
normal, and GFR reduced by 25%
Describe the "injury" stage for AKI - correct answer creatinine x2 & GFR
reduced by 50%
Describe the "failure" stage for AKI - correct answer creatinine x3
normal, & GFR reduced by 75% (Cant fix)
Describe Prerenal AKI. Give examples. - correct answer Decreased
perfusion to kidneys.
-NSAIDs
-Severe dehydration
-Renal artery stenosis
, NUR 265
-MI or HF resulting in low ejection fraction and low cardiac output
-Blood/ fluid loss
Describe Intrarenal AKI. Give examples. - correct answer Tissue damage
to the actual kidneys.
-Glomerulonephritis or inflammation of the glomeruli
-Sepsis
-Intrarenal bleeding
-Pyelonephritis
Describe Postrenal AKI. Give examples. - correct answer Obstruction
that occurs after the kidney.
-Enlarged prostate (BPH)
-Bladder Cancer
-Kidney stones
How do you determine the mean arterial pressure (MAP)? - correct
answer Systolic + (Diastolic*2) /3
What is the MAP needed to perfuse the kidneys? - correct answer 65
mmHg
