8. Identify blood test that can measure kidney function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A creatinine blood test measures kidney function. The body produces creatinine at a steady rate,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and measuring the levels only requires a routine blood sample.(Urinary and Renal Worksheet Comprehensive Nursing Paper Example)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9. Discuss the difference between a UTI and pyelonephritis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pyelonephritis is an infection of the renal pelvis, the region of the kidneys from where the urine drains<\/p>\n\n\n\n
into the ureters and is carried away to the urinary bladder. It is relatively rarer than UTI as it higher up<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and chances of the body\u2019s immune system eradicating the infection by then are high. Children and<\/p>\n\n\n\n
elderly are more prone to UTIs.(Urinary and Renal Worksheet Comprehensive Nursing Paper Example)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10. Differentiate AGN from nephrotic syndrome?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AGN: damage in glomeruli due to inflammation, infection (streptococcal organism) Nephrotic syndrome:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
abnormal permeability of the glomerular membrane to protein molecules (albumin); protein excessively<\/p>\n\n\n\n
filtered through the renal tubules, protein excreted in urine, pressure changes in the kidney, edema,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
progressive renal failure, & hyperalbuminuria & hypoalbuminemia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
11. Describe three types of renal calculi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carbonate, calcium oxalate stone, calcium phosphate stone<\/p>\n\n\n\n
12. Differentiate acute and chronic renal failure<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acute renal failure usually develops rapidly. Blood tests show elevated serum urea nitrogen (BUN) and<\/p>\n\n\n\n
creatinine as well as metabolic acidosis and hyperkalemia, confirming the failure of the kidneys to<\/p>\n\n\n\n
remove wastes.(Urinary and Renal Worksheet Comprehensive Nursing Paper Example)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chronic renal failure is the gradual irreversible destruction of the kidneys over a long period. It may<\/p>\n\n\n\n
result from chronic kidney disease, such as bilateral pyelonephritis or congenital polycystic kidney<\/p>\n\n\n\n
disease, or from systemic disorders, such as hypertension or diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nReference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
