Although the disease is seen primarily in children, people of any age can be affected.

Acute regulation of blood pressure - ANS-(seconds to minutes) is necessary to correct
temporary imbalances and during life-threatening situations.

from hemoglobinuria, myoglobinuria, uric acid casts, acute renal disease (glomerulonephritis,
pyelonephritis)
o Tubular epithelial cells are most at risk for ischemia due to their high metabolic rate (also
vulnerable to toxins) can be reversible! (NSAIDS, ACE inhibitors, dye/contrast are bad)

adolescents and young adults - ANS-Mono highest incidence in

Afterload - ANS-The pressure it must generate to pump the blood out of the ventricle

Aldosterone - ANS-promotes sodium reabsorption by the kidney, resulting in an increased
vascular volume and an increased B/P.

Aldosterone antagonists/Potassium sparring diuretics - ANS-Mild effect
o Reduce Na+ reabsorption & decrease K+ secretion in the late distal tubule and tubule sites
ruled by aldosterone,
2 types:
o Act as direct aldosterone antagonists i.e., spironolactone
o Act independently of aldosterone

Anemia - ANS--An abnormally low number of circulating red blood cells or level of hemoglobin,
or both
-Results in diminished oxygen-carrying capacity

Anemia in CKD - ANS-can be caused from:
o Chronic blood loss (from dialysis), hemolysis, uremia suppressing bone marrow function, iron
