PKD, BPH, Diabetic Nephropathy Flashcards

1
Q

what is pkd?

A

Polycystic Kidney Disease
• Fluid –filled cysts develop in the nephrons resulting in enlarged kidneys and causes compression on kidney itself and abdomen
• large abdomen causes pain and pressure on other organs
• kidney enlarges and fails
• These cysts develop as a result of abnormal cell division

Q

Assessment findings besides pain and urine changes with PKD

A
  • Distended Abdomen

  • Laxatives
20
Q

preferred drug to manage HTN for PKD?

A

Ace inhibitor! (ARB 2nd choice, CCB worst choice)

21
Q

Blood pressure management for PKD

A
  • Adequate fluid intake
  • Restrict Na intake around 2.5 g/day
  • Monitor Blood Pressure
  • Keep records of readings
  • Daily weights
  • ACE inhibitors
22
Q

What is the leading cause of renal failure?

A

diabetes

23
Q

what determines someone risk for diabetic nephropathy?

A

• Severity of kidney disease is related to the degree of hyperglycemia the patient has
◦ High A1C = increase risk of development

24
Q

first sign of diabetic nephropathy is….

A

microalbuminuria!

25
Q

When do we screen urine for protein- type 1 vs type 2 DM

A
  • Screen for protein in urine 5 years after Type I diagnosis
  • Screen for protein in urine 1 year after Type II diagnosis

• Check at least 1/year, increase if have higher a1c

26
Q

if you get a new diagnosis of diabetes you also get diagnosis of stage ____ kidney disease

A

1

27
Q

interventions for diabetic nephropathy

A
• Avoid Dehydration 
• Avoid Nephrotoxic substances
• Overtime, as kidney function declines, hypoglycemic events may become more common
	◦ Kidney disease is risk factor for hypoglycemia 
• Glycemic control
• Keep blood pressure under 125/75
• ACE inhibitors and ARB’s
• Control lipids
28
Q

_____ disease is a risk factor for hypoglycemia

A

kidney!

• Overtime, as kidney function declines, hypoglycemic events may become more common

29
Q

What causes BPH?

A
  • Related to aging and increasing levels of dihydrotestosterone (DTH)
  • Glands in prostate undergo hyperplasia
  • Local inflammatory response
30
Q

What happens to detrusor muscle with BPH?

A

thickens

31
Q

What happens to residual urine with BPH?

A

increases

32
Q

BPH can lead to chronic urinary _____

A

retnetion

33
Q

What kind of incontinence w/ BPH?

A

overflow

34
Q
