Question
Answer
Pale Urine   would have a low specific gravity  
🗑
Concentrated Urine   would have a high specific gravity  
🗑
Urine Protein   0-18mg/dl  
🗑
Urine pH   4.0-8.0  
🗑
RBC   0-4 hpf  
🗑
WBC   0-5 hpf  
🗑
Elevated BUN indicates   Kidney problems  
🗑
Serum BUN   8-25 mg/dl  
🗑
Serum Creatinine   0.6-1.5  
🗑
Potassium   3.5-5.5mEq/L  
🗑
Characteristics of normal urine   clear, straw-amber in color, minimal odor  
🗑
If urine smells chemically   think meds  
🗑
If urine smells like ammonia   too much urea - possible liver issues  
🗑
If urine smells foul   think infection  
🗑
If there is glucose present in urine   sugar is too high  
🗑
If ketones are present in urine   proteins are breaking down  
🗑
GFR is normally   125 ml/min  
🗑
Normal urinary output should be   no less than 30cc/hr  
🗑
If mild renal impairment exists, urinary output should be   no less than 20cc/hr  
🗑
Where do loop diuretics work   in the Loop of Henle  
🗑
Proximal tubule secretes   creatinine & hydrogen  
🗑
Ascending Loop of Henle reabsorbs   Na & Cl  
🗑
The descending Loop of Henle reabsorbs   water  
🗑
Loop Diuretics are also   Non-potassium sparing  
🗑
Loop Diuretics block the reabsorption of   Na, Cl, Water, and increase secretion of K  
🗑
Distal tubule secrets   K, Ammonia, H  
🗑
parathyroid =   calcium reuptake  
🗑
Thiazide Diuretics are not   K sparing  
🗑
Where do thiazide diuretics work   distal tubule  
🗑
What do Thiazide diuretics block   Na reabsorption  
🗑
ACE Inhibitors act on   the kidneys not the heart  
🗑
Angiotensin II receptors   block the receptor sites  
🗑
Renin-Angiotensin - Aldosterone System   body's regulatory method for BP  
🗑
Aldosterone effects occur in the distal tubule by   Na reabsorbtion and exchanged for K  
🗑
Renin is important for   regulating BP  
🗑
Erythropoietin   production of blood  
🗑
Erythropoietin is released   in response to hypoxia or decreased renal blood flow  
🗑
Vit D deficiency r/t renal failure   manifested by inability to absorb calcium from the GI tract; creates imbalance r/t phosphate  
🗑
Characteristics of calcium oxalate stones   small, often possible to get trapped in ureter; more frequent in men than women  
🗑
Predisposing factors of calcium oxalate stones   idiopathic hypercalciuria, jyperoxaluria, independent of urinary pH, family history  
🗑
Characteristics of calcium phosphate stones   Mixed stones (typically), with struvite or oxalate stones  
🗑
Predisposing factors of calcium phosphate stones   Alkaline urine, primary hyperparathyroidism  
🗑
Characteristics of struvite stones   Three to four times as common in women than men, always in assoc with UTI's, large staghorn type (usually)  
🗑
Predisposing factors of struvite stones   UTI's  
🗑
Characteristics of Uric acid stones   Predominant in men, high incidence in Jewish men  
🗑
Characteristics of cystine stones   genetic autosomal recessive defect, defective absorption of cystine in GI tract and kidney, causing stone formation  
🗑
Predisposing factors of cystine stones   acid urine  
🗑
