Exam Renal N5315 UTA Exam with Solutions
Calcitriol Correct-the active form of vitamin D which is converted in the kidneys.
-it helps with the absorption if Ca
podocytes Correct-cells in the Bowman's capsule in the kidneys that wrap around
capillaries of the glomeruli and have slits that blood is filtered through
JGA (juxtaglomerular apparatus) Correct-collection of cells consisting of juxtaglomerular
cells, macula dense, and the mesangial cells
juxtaglomerular cells Correct-cells that monitor renal pressure and help maintain a normal
GFR through the release of renin.
release of renin Correct-what helps increase GFR by the release of angiotensin II which
constricts the efferent arterial thereby increasing pressure of the glomerulus
ace inhibitors Correct-what med blocks the action of angiotensin II on the efferent
arterioles=renal protection in diabetics
, Exam Renal N5315 UTA Exam with Solutions
Calcium stones Correct-most common stone.
caused by hyperparathyroidism=increased osteoblast activity which break down bone.
struvite stones Correct-stone made up of magnesium, ammonium, and phosphate salts
d/t chronic UTIs with urease producing bacteria=proteus & pseudomonas.
Uric acid stones Correct-stones caused by the breakdown of purine. D/T excess purine
intake or person with gout.
Cystine stones Correct-least common stone and most common occur in children
FeNa less than 1% Correct-indicates that the kidneys are conserving Na and is indicative of
pre-renal AKI
FeNa greater than 2% Correct-indicates that the kidneys are wasting Na and is consistent
with an acute tubular necrosis
