Nephron The functional unit of the kidney composed of
the glomerulus and the tubules.
Glomerulus Tangled cluster of capillaries surrounded by the
bowmans capsule.
Four functions of kidneys Excretory-uremia, fluids, electrolytes
Regulatory-maintain acid base , fluid and
electrolye balance.
Filtration-nephrons filter out and reabsorb
Endocrine- renin, erythropoetin, calcitriol.
, Renal failure effects body systems Digestive-uremia causes n/v/d, loss appetite
Skin- dry, itchy, darkened
Cardiovascular- elevated k causes muscle
weakness, arrythmias
Anemia- decrease erythropoetin and rbc
production in bone marrow
Edema caused increased fluid can cause
hypertension, edema
Skeletal-decrease calcitriol lead calcium being
taken from boned.
Lungs-fluid, sob, increase risk pulmonary
infection
Dialysis the is composed of Purified water,bicarbonate to neutralize body
acidity and the acid part of bath containing
electrolytes including calcium and potassium
Blood is cleaned by 3 scientific Diffusion, osmosis, ultrafiltration.
principles:
Diffision Movement of solutes-urea, electrolytes,
creatinine, smaller drugs across a semi
permeable membrane from an area of higher
concentration to lower.
Osmosis Movement of water from lower concentration of
solutes to higher concentration
Ultrafiltration Use of both negative and poditive pressure to
pull excess fluid from the patient.
Estimated dry weight What the patient would weigh withput any extra
fluid on him.
