90-120 mL/min - CORRECT ANSWER: Normal range of GFR
Acute Kidney Injury - CORRECT ANSWER: ABRUPT rapid-onset disease of the
kidneys resulting decreased urine production, decrease in glomerular filtration w/an
accumulation of nitrogenous waste in blood
Commonly d/t extracellular volume depletion, decreased renal blood flow, or
toxic/inflammatory injury to kidney cells
acute tubular necrosis - CORRECT ANSWER: damage to the renal tubules due to
presence of toxins in the urine or to ischemia; where Cells slough off and collect in the
tubule and cause an obstruction -> increases tubular pressure that subsequently leads
to a decreased GFR -> causes afferent arteriole to vasoconstrict, which further
decreases GFR -> increases tubular pressure also leads to backflow of fluid into renal
interstitial tissue
any type of AKI untreated can result in this
ascending loop of henle - CORRECT ANSWER: section of nephron tubing that extends
from descending loop of henle; actively reabsorbs Na, K, Cl; Induces the reabsorption of
magnesium and Ca and is IMPEREABLE to water -> making the urine more dilute
ATN - CORRECT ANSWER: A prolonged hypotensive episode increases the risk for
developing which renal injury?
ATN - CORRECT ANSWER: FeNa of >2%
and
, Normal BUN/Creatinine ratio means
Autoregulation - CORRECT ANSWER: Maintains GFR despite changes in local blood
pressure and blood flow
By changing diameters of afferent arterioles, efferent arterioles, and glomerular
capillaries
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) - CORRECT ANSWER: what is NONmalignant
enlargement of the prostate gland, gland enlarges and compresses the urethra, where it
passes through the prostate, resulting in outlet obstruction; S&S of Urgency, delay in
starting urine flow, decreased flow of urine, urine retention, enlarged prostate felt on
rectal exam; Urine retention can lead to a post renal AKI
Breast Cancer - CORRECT ANSWER: what disease causes a Painless lump, nipple
retraction, dimpling of breast tissues, swollen axillary nodes, nipple eczema, nipple
discharge in non-lactating women
risk factors include fam hx, early menarche, late menopause, Oral contraceptive use,
post-menopausal estrogen use, nulliparity, obesity, BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, high
breast density, radiation to chest/breast in childhood, smoking, obesity
calcium stones - CORRECT ANSWER: what type of kidney stones Typically occur from
idiopathic hypercalciuria or d/t hyperparathyroidism (increase in osteoclastic acidity,
which osteoclasts break down bone and release calcium into the blood
Cervical cancer - CORRECT ANSWER: what is Caused by HPV Human papillomavirus
types 16 and 18; causes precancerous dysplasia and cervical carcinoma in situ; most
common in developing countries.

bleeding
