2

can also be caused by hypertension, diabetes, long-standing

renal disease

3

≥3 months

5

Deposition of carotene-like pigments appears

when renal filtration is decreased

7

xerostomia and parotid infections

8

CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASES

Patients frequently complain of an altered or

metallic taste, and saliva is altered in

composition, has a higher pH, and may have a

characteristic ammonia-like odor, which results

from a high urea content.

9

associated with acute renal

failure and BUN levels are

greater than 55 mg/dL.

17
New cards

Uremic stomatitis

early changes typically

include red, burning mucosa

covered with gray exudates

and later by frank ulceration

18
New cards

Uremic frost

adherent white patches

caused by urea crystal

deposition

19
New cards

AZOTEMIA

result of the buildup of nonprotein nitrogen compounds

in the blood, mainly urea, as a consequence of loss of

glomerular filtration function

20
New cards

AZOTEMIA

measured as blood urea nitrogen (BUN)

21
New cards

END STAGE RENAL DISEASE (TYPE 5) **ESRD

demonstrate several hematologic abnormalities,

including anemia, leukocyte and platelet dysfunction,

and coagulopathy

22
New cards

END STAGE RENAL DISEASE (TYPE 5) **ESRD

leads to demineralization, weak bones, and

calcium–phosphate complexes in blood

23
New cards

END STAGE RENAL DISEASE (TYPE 5) **ESRD

wherein the the failing kidney does not synthesize

1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol

24
New cards

END STAGE RENAL DISEASE (TYPE 5) **ESRD

Cardiovascular manifestations of

include hypertension,

congestive heart failure (shortness of

breath, orthopnea, dyspnea on

exertion, peripheral edema), and

pericarditis

25
New cards

END STAGE RENAL DISEASE (TYPE 5) **ESRD

Patients demonstrate mental

slowness or depression and become

psychotic in later stages

26
New cards

END STAGE RENAL DISEASE (TYPE 5) **ESRD

When this condition begins at an

early stage, it may result to enamel

hypoplasia and hypoclacification

27
New cards

Uremic syndrome

commonly causes

malnutrition and diarrhea.

28
New cards

RENAL OSTEODYSTROPHY

variety of bone disorders that are seen in pt

with ESRD

29
New cards

Parathyroid hormone

Inhibiting the tubular reabsorption of

phosphorus

30
New cards

Parathyroid hormone

Stimulating renal production of the

vitamin D necessary for calcium

metabolism

31
New cards

Parathyroid hormone

Enhancing vitamin D absorption

within the intestine

32
New cards

Fibroblast growth factor 23

key regulator of phosphorus and vitamin D

metabolism,

33
New cards

Osteomalacia

increased

unmineralized osteoid bone matrix

34
New cards

Osteitis fibrosa

bone resorption

with lytic lesions and marrow fibrosis

35
New cards

Osteosclerosis

enhanced bone

density

36
New cards

URINALYSIS

most basic test of kidney function

37
New cards

URINALYSIS

the physical, chemical, and microscopic

examination of urine

38
New cards

GFR

measure of overall kidney function and albumin

39
New cards

Albumin

most significant protein in the

urine (albuminuria)

40
New cards

Albumin and GFR

used to determine the severity

and prognosis of CKD

41
New cards

SERUM CREATININE LEVEL

measure of muscle breakdown and filtration capacity

of the nephron

42
New cards

BLOOD UREA NITROGEN (BUN)

commonly used indicator of kidney function

43
New cards

BLOOD UREA NITROGEN (BUN)

also influenced by liver function and conditions that

affect blood flow

44
New cards

DIALYSIS

medical procedure that artificially filters blood

45
New cards

DIALYSIS

necessary when the number of nephrons

diminishes to the point that azotemia is unpreventable

or uncontrollable

46
New cards

DIALYSIS

becomes important when the GFR drops below 30

mL/minute/1.73 m2

47
New cards

DIALYSIS

provides only about 15% of normal renal function

48
New cards

PERITONEAL DIALYSIS

low initial cost, ease of performance, reduced likelihood

of infectious disease transmission, and absence of

requirement for anticoagulation

49
New cards

PERITONEAL DIALYSIS

include the need for frequent sessions, risk of peritonitis

, frequent association with abdominal hernia

50
New cards

PERITONEAL DIALYSIS

lower effectiveness than that for

hemodialysis

51
New cards

PERITONEAL DIALYSIS

principal use is in patients in acute renal failure or

those who require only occasional dialysis

52
New cards

Continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis

(CCPD

known as automated peritoneal

dialysis (APD)

53
New cards

Continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis

(CCPD

uses a machine to perform three to

five dialysate exchanges while the

patient sleep

54
New cards

Chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

(CAPD)

more commonly used procedure.

55
New cards

Chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

(CAPD)

dialysis requires shorter exchange

periods of 30 to 45 minutes four to

five times per day

56
New cards

HEMODIALYSIS

method of choice when azotemia occurs and

dialysis is needed on a long-term basis.

57
New cards

HEMODIALYSIS

performed every 2 or 3 days

58
New cards

HEMODIALYSIS

usually 3 to 4 hours is required for each session

59
New cards

HEMODIALYSIS

consumes an enormous amount of the patient’s time

and is extremely confining,

60
New cards

HEMODIALYSIS

however, between dialysis

sessions, patients lead relatively normal lives

61
New cards

HEMODIALYSIS

62
New cards

HEMODIALYSIS

can cause uremic odor, dry mouth, taste change, and

tongue and mucosal pain

63

common in persons on dialysis for more than 5 years as

a consequence of deposition of proteins present in the

blood on joints and tendons, causing pain and stiffness

64

and dialysis

65
New cards
