Concept: Renal

1. lab value used to determine stages of chronic kidney failure
5. absorption of this electrolyte is decreased when the damaged kidneys don't produce a hormone which activates vitamin D
8. common cause of renal hypo-perfusion and acute kidney injury
10. increases reabsorption of water from real tubules and produces a more concentrated urine
11. hormone produced by the kidneys that stimulates RBC production
12. loop diuretic
14. most common imbalance, caused by real losses of bicarbonate

2. a diet with restricted protein, low sodium, low potassium, restricted phosphorous
3. type of phosphate binder which must be given with meals to bind dietary phosphates
4. reciprocal relationship with calcium, excess dietary amounts cannot be excreted by damaged kidneys
6. no condition other than kidney disease causes increases in this lab value. Any elevation is important and warrants assessment
7. promotes sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion (loss) in the renal tubules
9. nephrotoxic drug class
13. urine output of less than 400ml/day
15. by-product of protein breakdown. Uremia features pruritis, encephalopathy, and nausea/vomiting
16. causes kidney disease through antigen-antibody complexes collecting in and occluding glomeruli
