1. Functions of the kidney:: fluid balance filtration system
produce urine
2. essential htn cause =: unknown cause
3. most common type of htn =: essential htn
4. secondary htn cause =: caused by another condition
5. renovascular htn cause =: caused by decreased flow to kidneys
6. malignant htn =: dangerously high (>180/120)
7. resistant htn =: unresponsive to 3+ medications
8. Whenever blood flow to the kidneys decrease, they release to the
body.: renin
9. Once renin is secreted, what is formed?: angiotensin
10.Angiotensin causes widespread and of BP.: vasoconstriction and elevation
11.An increase in renin will eventually lead to .: renal failure
12.Renal artery stenosis indications =: young patients with significant htn patients with malignant htn
patients with uncontrollable htn
13.Treatment of renal artery disease can cure/control:: renovascular htn renal mass
renal function
14.Why would a doctor order a renal ultrasound over a CT?: to avoid putting more toxins in a low functioning
kidney
15.What type of organs are kidneys?: retroperitoneal
16.Which kidney is slightly lower/inferior?: right
17.What is the normal kidney length?: 9-13 cm
18.What is the normal kidney width?: 5-7 cm
19.Is it normal for the kidneys to decrease with age?: yes
20.What side of the body does the IVC sit on?: right

21.What side of the body does the AO sit on?: left
22.What are the 4 parts of the kidney?: hilum, sinus, medulla, cortex
23.What does the medulla and cortex make up?: parenchyma
24.The area of the kidney where everything (renal artery, renal vein, and ureter) enters =: hilum
25.the area of the kidney that is bright on ultrasound made up of fat and fibrous tissue =: renal sinus
26.the area of the kidney with 12-18 pyramids that is dark =: medulla
27.the area of the kidney that is outermost =: cortex
28.What does the cortex produce?: urine
