Editor's Notes

  • #4 Metabolic wastes ~ urea, creatinine, uric acid, beta-2microglobulin and many other waste products. Urea is from the breakdown of dietary protein intake. Creatinine>an end product of phosphocreatine, high energy substance used to form ATP to be used as energy by muscles Fluid Balance ~ Regulate body fld. volume and osmolality by regulating urine volume and osmolality Electrolyte Balance ~ regulates sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphate, magnesium. Regulate acid-base balance of body fluids in conjunction with body buffer systems and respiratory system Regulate BP by controlling vascular volume and by secreting renin, which causes synthesis of angiotensin II and secretion of aldosterone. Regulate bone marrow production of RBCs by secreting erythropoetin. Synthesize vitamin D to its physiologically active form which helps regulate calcium and phosphorus balance and bone formation Excrete drugs and toxins from the body fluids.
  • #8 PRE RENAL FACTORS ~any conditions that result in hypotension & shock, burns Cardiac disorders: MI,CHF, cardiac tamponade, arrhythmias. Altered Peripheral Vascular resistance: sepsis, post-op hypovolemia, antihypertensive meds, drug overdose, anaphylactic reactions, neurogenic shock. Renal Artery Disorders: renal artery occlusion, emboli, thrombi, stenosis, aneruysm, occlusion, trauma. Any condition that results in reduced blood flow to the kidneys INTRA RENAL FACTORS ~ trauma, radiation to the kidney, injury to renal tissue associated with intra-renal ischemia, toxins or both. The condition results in Acute Tubular Necrosis ~ATN NEPHROTOXINS ~ antineoplastics, anaesthetics, antimicrobes(Gentamicin), immunosuppressants, X-Ray contrast, pesticides, organic solvents, heavy metals (lead, mercury, gold). Plant and animal substances ~ mushrooms, snake venom POST RENAL FACTORS ~ Interference with the flow of urine from the kidneys to the exterior of the body. Associated with obstruction or disruption of the urinary tract such as: Calculi, Neoplasms, Strictures (ureters or urethra), Blood Clots, Prostate Hypertrophy, Abdominal or Pelvic Neoplasms, and inadvertent surgical ligation. In the case of Methanol poisoning, the need for acute hemodialysis is related to the need for correction of metabolic acidosis caused by the poisoning as well as to hasten the elimination of the methyl alcohol and the toxic metabolites like formaldehyde, formic acid and lactic acid.
