answer-Albumin
" tell me the most common fluid, electrolytes, and acid - base imbalances in
oliguric Reno failure patients." Says a nurse, "I am being sent to help on the
rental unit this morning." - answer-You can figure out the fluid and electrolyte
imbalance is in oliguric renal failure patients if you remember that the kidneys
normally excrete water and sodium, potassium, magnesium, phosphate, and
metabolic assets. With oliguria, these will not be excreted and will accumulate in
the body. Therefore, you can expect isotonic fluid excess, hyperkalemia,
metabolic acidosis, possibly hyper magnesemia, and hyperphosphatemia
(1) EDEMA - answer-^ Na+ level> ^H2O intake & retention leads to ^blood
volume that leads to ^ BP that leads to ^ fluid pushed into IF leading to EDEMA
(2)EDEMA - answer-Blood vessel obstruction (clot, plaque)Leads to restricted
bloodflow that leads to increased BP that leads to increased fluid pushed into IF
(3) EDEMA - answer-Lymph vessel obstruction (infection, resection) leads to
decreased ability to reabsorb fluid that leads to ^ fluid in IF (lymphedema)
(4) EDEMA - answer-Increased capillary permeability(infection, injuries, burns)
leads to increased fluid AND proteins move into IF Leading to decreased OCP
that leads to decreased ability to reabsorb fluid
(5) EDEMA - answer-Decreased plasma protein level(Malnutrition, liver disease)
leads to decreased OCP that leads to decreased ability to reabsorb fluid that
leads to increased fluid in IF (ascites)
