results from advanced stages of kidney failure. marked by variety of signs and
symptoms: anemia, wt loss, weakness, vomiting, excessive bleeding, edema,
convulsions, lethargy progressing to coma)

1 decreased urine output 2 basement membrane
3 uremia 4 causes of urinary retention
Don't know?
Terms in this set (118)
decreased urine output oliguria
dysuria painful or difficult urination
,azotemia excess of urea and other nitrogenous waste in the
blood caused by kidney failure
pyuria presence of white blood cells in the urine
causes of urinary retention prostate enlargement, diabetes mellitus, neurological
disease
benign causes of proteinuria fever, stress, exercise
glomeruli The working units of the kidney that filter the blood
kidney's primary purpose 1. filter nitrogenous products of metabolism (urea and
creatinine) from the blood.
2. maintain waterand electrolyte homeostasis
kidney produces two hormones that 1. erythropoietin-stimulates bone marrow to produce
have nothing to do with execratory rbc's
function 2. active form of vit D that the kidney makes from
inactive form consumed in diet or formed in the skin
from sunlight
two distinct kidney zones cortex-outer layer
medulla- innter layer
filtration takes place in the nephron of glomerulus
the kidney, which has two parts tubule
endothelial layer allows passage of proteins but not blood cells
through openings called fenestrae
basement membrane traps larger protein molecules and does not allow
them into the filtrate
epithelial layer composed of modified epithelial cells callded
podocytes.
Bowman's capsule the capsule that surrounds a glomerulus.
, tubule collects & forms urine from the fluids passed into it
from bowmans capsule (waste filtered out of
capillaries in nephron) and drains into kidneys renal
pelvis
nephrons one of a million tiny filtered structures found in the
kidneys that removes wastes from blood and
produces urine.
urine a fluid produced by the kidneys that contains water,
urea and other waste materials; forms about 1cc per
minute.
ureter tube that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary
bladder; long muscular tube
normal bladder can hold up to 16 ounces of urine for up to four hours
comfortably
antidiuretic hormone (ADH) hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland to
prevent the kidneys from expelling too much water
angiotensin Substance produced by renin that causes some
vasoconstriction.
renin enzyme that is produced by the kidney; important for
blood pressure and volume regulation; catalyzes the
conversion of circulating angiotensinogen to
angiotensin I
proteinuria normal kidneys don't filter much protein (albumin,
globulin) from the blood.
Most common evidence of renal disease is an
excessive amount of protein in the urine. (>150mg
total protein-containing 50mg albumin) in 24 hour
collection
