- What is most important for the filtration process?
Answer Blood hydrostatic pressure
- What are the functions of the kidney?
Answer Sodium/water removal, waste removal, hormone production
- What is acute renal failure?
Answer sudden loss of kidney function due to an illness, Injury, drug, Or toxin that stresses the kidneys. ARF can be reversible
- What is chronic Renal failure?
Answer A long slow process where the kidney looses its ability to function, it occurs in Joshua 1 / 5

different stages
- What is end stage renal disease?
Answer Irreversible loss of kidney function
- What are the types of ARF?
Answer Prerenal, intravenal, post renal
- What is the most common cause of ARF?
Answer Pre renal
- What happens when pre Renal is not treated?
Answer It can turn into intrinsic/ intrarenal and damage inside
- What is pre-renal failure?
Answer When the damage is before the kidneys due to decreased blood flow from volume depletion or hypoperfusion Joshua 2 / 5
- / 5
- Give examples of volume depletion and hypoperfusion
Answer Too many diuretics, vomiting and diarrhea, hemorrhage; Decreased cardiac output due to hf and artheroschlerosis
- Explain pathophysiology of pre renal failure
Answer Decreased blood flow means decreased GFR, decreased GFR means decreased renal blood flow, then de- creased GFR activates RAAS. Angiotensin secretes aldosterone which increases BP volume
- What is significant about the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)?
Answer It is where the least blood flow occurs, rhe most damage occurs in the PCT when ischemia happens
- What enzyme is obtained from the kidney?
Answer Erythropoieten
- angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is made where? What does it do?
Answer It is made in the lungs; to activate angiotensin 1 in the kidneys. Joshua 3 / 5

- If creatinine is elevated....
Answer GFR is decreased
- What is intra Renal failure
Answer Its the damage that has occurred inside the kidney due to
->Glomerulonephritis ->Rhabdomylosis ->Contrast dye ->Drugs/meds ->HTN (uncontrolled HTN) ->DM
TUMOR LYSIS SYNDROME
- What is the most common intra Renal failure?
Answer Tubular
- What is post-renal failure?
