1
Q

What does the kidney do to adapt to the loss of nephrons?

Q

Q

What specifically qualifies an animal to be in chronic renal failure?

A

there is a slow loss of greater than %70 of renal function due to a progressive loss of nephrons and nephron hypertrophy

46
Q

What occurs to GFR in animals that have chronic renal failure?

renal azotemia, polyuria and polydispia, and fixed isosthenuria

48
Q

53
Q

What is uremia?

it is another word for chronic renal failure used to describe a group of systemic lesions due to the accumulation of toxic metabolites in chronic renal failure

54
Q

What systemic lesions are associated with uremia?

ulcerative stomatitis/glossitis, ulcerative gastritis, fibrinoid vascular necrosis, and soft tissue mineralization

55
Q

What is fibrinoid vascular necrosis?

A

56
Q

How does an animal with chronic renal failure develop secondary renal hyperparathyroidism?

there is a deranged Ca/P metabolism because the kidney is not working properly

57
Q

What systemic lesion is associated with secondary renal hyperparathyroidism?

A

fibrous osteodystrophy

58
Q

How does an animal with chronic renal failure get fibrous osteodystrophy?

A

an increase in serum P causes a decrease in serum Ca and D3 production which in turn causes an increase in parathyroid hormone production leading to an increase in Ca and P liberation via bone resorption and proliferation of fibrous tissue in bone

59
Q

What classifies anemia to be non-regenerative?

A

when the kidney cannot make erythropoeitin so more RBCs cannot be made and there is a shortened RBC life
