🗑
show Substances (like ammonia) are not filtrated out of the blood resulting in toxicity.  
🗑
show ADH (Anti-diuretic hormone) secretion causes pores of collecting tubules to enlarge -> water in interstitial spaces then reabsorbed and urine is concentrated.

🗑
Describe stress incontinence and treatments.   show

🗑
show Leakage in socially unacceptable circumstances. Tx = applied devices (caths, diapers), environmental alterations (raise toilet seat), surgery, bladder training, kegels  
🗑
show Enlargement of the prostate gland that causes bladder outlet obstruction.  
🗑

🗑
show Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Criteria = chronic UTIs, hematuria, hydronephrosis, and acute urinary retention.  
🗑

🗑

🗑
What are the s/s of kidney stones?   show

🗑
show Increase: BUN, creatinine, potassium, phosphorus. Decrease: GFR, Na (may also be normal), calcium, pH (acidosis)
