Q

RAAS system steps

A
  1. kidney senses low BP, secretes renin
  2. liver secretes angiotensignogen which becomes angiotensin
  3. acts on adrenal gland to increase aldosterone secretion –> increased sodium and water retention –> increased BP
  4. also decreased GFR and urine output via vasoconstriction

  2. Cushing’s
  3. renovascular disease
  4. obstructive sleep apnea
  5. hyperaldosteronism
  6. meds (NSAIDs, MAO-I, steroids, OCPs)
22

23
Q

severe HTN

A

SBP: > 170 mm Hg
DBP: > 110 mm Hg

24
Q

resistant HTN

A

on 3 drugs, one of which is a diuretic

25
Q

for each 1 gram increment in potassium excretion,

A

0.75 mm Hg decrease in SBP and 0.06 mm Hg decrease in DBP

26
Q

how do we excrete more potassium and lower BP

A

consume more potassium

27
Q

for each 1 gram increment in sodium excretion,

A

2.11 SBP increase, 0.78 DBP increase

28
Q

more sodium =

A

high BP

29
Q

best way to measure BP

A
  1. sitting back supported
  2. no talking
  3. correct cuff size
  4. arm bare and resting
  5. feet flat on floor
  6. quiet room
  7. no smoking, caffeine, exercise 30 mins before
  8. empty bladder
  9. relax for 5 min
30
Q

gold standard of measuring BP

A

24 hour ambulatory pressure monitoring (24 H ABPM)

31
Q

benefits of 24 H ABPM

A

shows BP patterns
shows nocturnal dipping

32
Q

office BP is generally

A

higher than ABPM or at home

33
Q

essential function of kidney

A
  1. excretion
  2. regulate EC volume by filtrating and reabsorbing sodium
  3. regulate plasma osmolarity
  4. regulate pH
  5. produce hormons for RBC production
  6. maintain bone health via vit D activation and phosphate excretion
  7. immune function
  8. drug metabolism
34
Q

kidney regulates extracellular volume by __ and __ __

A

kidney regulates extracellular volume by filtrating and reabsorbing sodium

35
Q

kidney produces hormones for

A

RBC production

36
Q

kidneys regulate plasma __ through __

kidneys regulate plasma osmolarity through water handling

37
Q

kidneys help maintain bone health through activation of __ and __ excretion

A

kidneys help maintain bone health through activation of vit D and phosphate excretion

38
Q

creatinine is a byproduct of __ and is released into __ at a __ rate

A

creatinine is a byproduct of muscle breakdown and is released into blood at a steady rate

39
Q

__ intake impacts creatinine levels

dietary meat intake impacts creatinine levels

40
Q

creatinine if mostly filtered by

A

creatinine if mostly filtered by kidney

41
Q

when kidney function declines, GFR __, and creatinine __

A

when kidney function declines, GFR declines, and creatinine increases in blood

42
Q

limit of using creatinine to estimate GFR

A

blood creatinine is influenced by muscle mass and protein intake

43
Q

AKI = acute kidney injury
CKD = chronic kidney disease

44
Q

AKI
time course
compensation
GFR
natural history

GFR: 0
natural history: potentially reversible

45
Q

CKD
time course
compensation
GFR
natural history

A

CKD
time course: 6 months-years
compensation: gradual adaptation allows for normal excretion until end stage
