The functional unit of the kidney that does the work
Nephron
A nephron is made up of
A glomerulus and a tubule
The endrocrine functions of the kidney include
making erythropoietin and the active for of Vitamin D
The leading cause of End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) for adults in the U.S.
Diabetes
Patients with kidney failure often complain of itching, which is likely to be caused
by
HyperPhosphatemia
Why do kideny patients often have bone disease
Kidneys stop producing calcitriol
Symptoms that a patient may need more dialysis time include
Anorexia, fatigue, swelling
A semipermeable membrane is a porous barrier that
allows for only certain sized particles to cross
Diffusion is movement of particles
from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
Negative Pressure is pressure created when
fluid is pulled through a restriction
During Dialysis, ultrafiltration occurs when
Water is removed from the blood because there is a pressure gradient between blood
and dialysate
at which point in the extracorporeal circuit is the blood usually under negative
pressure
The arterial line section before the blood pump
Which of the following will increase the amount of the solutes that will diffuse
across the semipermeable membrane
High concentration gradients
The components of the dialysate treatment that affect clearance include
Dialysate flow, time of treatment, dialyzer size, blood flow rate
Two things that affect the dialyzer's ability to remove wastes from the body
include
Surface area and molecular weight cutoff
Dialysate is the fluid that helps remove waste products from the body. It contains
a number of substances. What might be prescribed for a dialysate solution
Bicarbonate, Sodium, Potassium
What is the most important safety monitor during a dialysis treatment
