NURS 245 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Renal Tubular Acidosis, Renal Function, Chronic Kidney Disease
Document Summary
Small scope that is used to look at the bladder via the urethra i: can be used to test for urinary issues, kidney stones, etc. Iga helps protect against infecions of the mucous membranes so decreased secreions of iga leads to increased suscepibility to infecions (ii) (chronic) urinary retenion: the inability to empty the bladder completely. Allows potenially dangerous pathogens the opportunity to muliply. Can be due to: obstrucion b, neurogenic bladder (diabetes, quadriplegia, paraplegia) 1. lead (b) acute glomerulonephriis (i) inlammaion of the kidneys, usually as a complicaion of untreated strep throat (ii) type 3 hypersensiivity: an anigen: anibody complex precipitates in the basement membrane. 2. of the glomerulus, acivaing complement and causing renal damage leads to glomerular thickening decreased renal blood low acivaion of the raa system: associated with nephritic syndrome a. Is associated with this thickening of the glomerular membrane that increases raa.
