Kidney Disease Flashcards
(94 cards)
The hydrostatic pressure gradient forces
glomerular filtration.
–% of renal plasma flow is filtered into Bowman’s capsule; – factors contribute
to the filtration rate

hemodynamic
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) affected by renal artery pressure
other autoregulation factors of GFR
(3)
- vasoreactive (myogenic) reflex of afferent arteriole
- tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF)
- angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction of the efferent arteriole
- vasoreactive (myogenic) reflex of afferent arteriole
- causes
dilatation or constriction of the afferent arteriole to maintain
stable glomerular pressure in response to variations in systole
- tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF)
- causes
dilatation or constriction of the afferent arteriole to maintain
stable glomerular pressure in response to solute concentration changes
detected by the macula densa cells in the distal/ascending Loop of
Henle
Kidney Function
(9)
- Water regulation
- Electrolyte regulation
- Extracellular volume/pressure regulation
- Acid-base homeostasis
- Endocrine/metabolic
- Blood plasma filtration
- Excretion of metabolic waste
- Urine production
- Prostaglandin production
Endocrine/metabolic
(5)
oKinins
oErythropoietin
oPhosphate
oVitamin D
oRenin
Blood plasma filtration
(2)
oGlucose and amino acid reabsorption
oCalcium and phosphate regulation
Excretion of metabolic waste
–, etc.
nitrogenous
Acute Renal Failure (ARF)
aka
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
A condition in which the…
— results from the cumulative effects of renal failure, retention of excretory products,
and interference with metabolic and endocrine function
Acute renal failure develops… It may be fatal. It’s most
common in those who are…
kidneys suddenly can’t filter waste from the blood.
Uremia
rapidly over a few hours or days
critically ill and already hospitalized.
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
Acute Renal Failure (ARF)
Symptoms
(6)
decreased urinary output
swelling due to fluid retention
nausea
Fatigue
shortness of breath.
Sometimes symptoms may be subtle or may not
appear at all.
ARF
Causes
(3)
- Pre-renal
- Intrinsic Renal
- Post-renal
ACE-I: (3)
monopril, captopril, enalapril
ARB:
angiotensin receptor blocker, (Diovan, Cozaar,
Benicar);
NSAIDs:
Indomethacin
PPI: proton pump inhibitors (3)
Prilosec, Prevacid &
Nexium (also linked to stomach cancer)
TTP-HUS, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura–
— syndrome.
hemolytic-uremic
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
Acute Renal Failure (ARF)
Treatments
(4)
address the underlying cause
fluids
medication
dialysis.
Chronic Kidney Disease
Causes
(6)
*Chronic Glomerulonephritis
*Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
*Neoplasms
*Polycystic kidney disease
*AIDS nephropathy
*Diabetic nephropathy
*Etc. (many others)
Chronic Kidney Disease
Risk Factors
(5)
Age (≥60 years of age)
Smoking
Obesity
HTN
Diabetes
HTN
- poorly controlled
Diabetes
* —% of patients with type 2 DM will
develop CKD
40-50
