Prevent recurrence: Hydration Diet with foods low in calcium oxalate Clinical Example: Renal Failure Failure of kidneys to cleanse blood of waste products like urea. Urea is converted to ammonia and can be toxic to the brain Can be acute (and recover) or chronic Symptoms might include: decreased urine output fluid retention (edema), shortness of breath, fatigue, confusion, nausea, weakness, irregular heartbeat.  kidney Acute Renal Injury/Failure AKI Bb video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcrfhVYJ0kM § Can be caused by sudden decreased blood supply to kidneys. So…perfusion is ________ compromised/ insuffcient § Etiology: hemorrhagic or surgical shock, embolism, CHF, severe dehydration, certain medications, sepsis. Sudden drop in BP. labs + diagnostic § Can be reversible. Complications: qAccumulation of urea - waste toxemia ammonia qFluid imbalance (hypervolemia) pre- renal instrinsic - qElectrolyte imbalance (hyperkalemia) damage of inside of qAcid-base imbalance (can’t excrete H+) tubules intrarenal post renal Chronic Kidney Disease Slow onset, progressive GFR used to categorize Causes: often part of a chronic kidney disease process like diabetes, hypertension, or glomerulonephritis. -Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv53QZRk4hs Pathophysiology of Hypertension Impact on Kidney: causes thickening of blood vessels to glomerulus--à decreases lumen size -à decreased blood and oxygen to the kidney Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Progressive Disease: 5 Stages The disease is classified based on estimated GFR and other kidney markers BRN/ Creatinine Dialysis starts Chronic Kidney Disease—Pathophysiology SUMMARY Functions of the kidney Manifestations of decreased renal function/failure Complications Osteoporosis  Clinical Manifestations of Kidney Failure Related to Kidney Functions! Not significant until 75% of kidney function destroyed Edema Infertility / impotence Bone weakness / fractures Anemia Hypertension Bleeding Acidosis Diagnosis – Blood tests: GFR, creatinine & BUN levels Treatment: ?___________________ (next slide) Long-term treatment of Kidney Failure- 1) Dialysis – procedure that cleanses the blood of waste products use peritoneal cavity Peritoneal (done at home) Hemodialysis (in clinic) When does dialysis start?
