Renal System Flashcards
Which dietary component is typically restricted in the management of chronic kidney disease to prevent accumulation of waste products?
protein
In patients with nephrotic syndrome, which dietary intervention is commonly recommended to manage edema and protein loss?
low sodium diet
- minimize fluid retention
- blood pressure control
- edema management
what is the primary purpose of limiting phosphorus intake in individuals with advanced kidney disease?
managing (renal) anemia
which micronutrient supplementation is often necessary in patients undergoing hemodialysis due to losses during dialysis process?
vitamin D
In the nutrition management of renal calculi (kidney stones), which dietary factor is commonly modified to prevent stone formation?
oxalates
What dietary modification is recommended for individuals with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) to manage hypertension?
low sodium diet
In diabetic nephropathy, what nutritional approach is crucial for glycemic control and to slow the progression of kidney damage?
high protein diet
which electrolyte imbalance is commonly associated with chronic kidney disease and requires dietary restriction of potassium rich foods?
hyperkalemia
What dietary advice would be given to a patient with early stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) regarding protein intake?
decrease protein intake
- help reduce increased burden on kidney production of waste (urea)
In the nutrition management of renal disease, what is the primary reason for limiting fluid intake in some cases?
managing edema
- renal disease cause impaired fluid regulation, decreased filtration
what is the main goal in nutrition therapy of nephrolithiasis?
decrease factors associated with stone formation, prevention of reoccurrence
how is nephrolithiasis diagnosed?
with intravenous pyelogram, x ray, renal ultrasound, analysis of urine and serum
what are treatment options for nephrolithiasis?
-ESWL (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy)
- percutaneous nephrolithotomy
-ureterorenoscopy and extraction
