Q

Functions of kidneys?

A
  1. Regulate: Fluid, electrolytes, acid-base
  2. Secrete renin: regulates B.P.
  3. Produce erythropoietin: Stimulates RBC prod. in bone marrow
  4. Convert Vit. D to active form: Regulates Ca levels

Q

Goals for treatment of AKI?

A
  1. Individualized
  2. Restore fluid and electrolytes

Q

Medical management of AKI?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Treat underlying symptoms: problem may correct itself
  2. Manage symptoms
    - Drug therapy: Diuretics, reduce doses of meds if no dialysis, potassium and phosphate binders
    - Dialysis: Will need to increase doses of medications
18
Q

Nutrition therapy for AKI in following cards

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Energy
  2. Protein
  3. Fluids
  4. Electrolytes
19
Q

Energy

Study These Flashcards
A

25-35 kcal/kg dry body weight

Monitor body weight over time to be sure intake is adequate

20
Q

Protein

Study These Flashcards
A
  • No dialysis: 0.8-1.0 g/kg dry body weight/day

- Dialysis: 1.0-1.7 g/kg dbw/day

21
Q

Fluids

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Assess status from weight differences, b.p., and a physical
  • Replace fluids to prevent dehydration: Urine output+500mL/day
  • Can assess adequacy of intake from blood sodium levels
  • Hyponatremic: excess fluid intake
  • Hypernatremic: inadequate fluid intake
22
Q

Electrolytes

Study These Flashcards
A

*Only change if blood levels are out of range

Potassium: 2,000-3,000 mg/day
Sodium: 1,000-2,000 mg/day
Phosphorus: 8-15 mg/kg dbw/day

23
Q

Characteristics of CKD?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Gradual, irreversible kidney damage
  2. Progresses over many years, usually w/o symptoms
  3. Caused by: DM, Uncontrolled hypertension, genetics, inflammation, and immunological disorders
24
Q

What is going on in the kidneys with CKD?

Study These Flashcards
A

Nephrons enlarge to handles excess load
Enlargement causes deterioration of nephrons
More and more nephrons fail over time

25
How to test for CKD?
GFR: rate at which kidney forms filtrate
26
What GFR value indicates stage 5 kidney failure/ESRD?
Less than 15
27
Early stage(1-3) symptoms of CKD?
- Anorexia - Fatigue - Headache - Hypertension - Proteinuria: protein in urine - Hematuria: blood in urine
28
Advanced stage(3-5) symptoms of CKD?
``` Anemia CVD Confusion Fluid and Electrolyte imbalance Hormonal abnormalities PEM Peripheral neuropathy Lowered immune function ```
29
Uremic Syndrome-Stage 5
-Urine in blood -Altered heart function. Caused by fluid and electrolyte imbalances causing hypertension which leads to arrhythmia which causes the heart to enlarge -Neuromuscular disturbances: Altered thought, sleep disorders, muscle cramping, seizures -Inadequate hormone levels -Hormonal adaptation: Excess aldosterone released. Causes fluid overload and hypertension Excess parathyroid hormone released. causes bone loss
30
Medical treatment for CKD?
- Dialysis if GFR is low | - Medications to manage symptoms
31
Surgery to widen vein by connecting it to artery?
Arteriovenous fistula procedure
32
Nutrition therapy for CKD in following slides..
``` Energy Protein Lipids What to restrict? Iron Renal vitamin ```
33
Energy
30-35 kcal/kg/day
34
Protein
- Pre-dialysis: 0.6-0.75 g/kg | - Dialysis: 1.2-1.4 g/kg
35
Lipids
Restrict SFA, trans fats, and cholesterol
36
Restrict the following?
Fluids Sodium Potassium Phosphorus
37
Iron is given intravenously | Also renal multivitamin may be necessary
.
38
How to comply with renal diet Fluid restriction?
- Gum, or suck hard candy - suck on frozen grapes - Freeze beverages: take longer to consume - Gargle refrigerated mouth wash
39
How to comply with renal diet by increasing calories?
- Margarine or flavored oil - Extra salad dressing and mayo - non-dairy whipped topping - Fried foods
40
Compliance with renal diet and Lowering potassium?
- Cut veggies into 1/8 inch slices - rinse - soak in warm water 2 hours (10:1) - rinse - Boil in 5 parts water to 1 part vegetable
41
Compliance by decreasing monotony?
- Non dairy milk products - spices - occasional use of restricted foods
