Document Summary
Lecture 3 the kidneys: acute injury to chronic disease. Production of erythropoietin: hormone is produced and released in response to hypoxia and decreased renal blood flow. Activation of vitamin d: second step occurs in the kidney: clients with renal failure may have a deficiency. Production and secretion of renin, which catalyzes the splitting of angiotensin into angiotensin i. Creatinine is a byproduct of muscle energy metabolism produced at a constant rate. Creatinine clearance (cc) according to the individual"s muscle mass. It is a specific measurement of kidney function, particularly the glomerular filtration rate (gfr) Measures the rate that kidneys clear creatinine from the blood. Decreased cc is found in any condition that decreases renal blood flow, like: impaired kidney function, shock, hemorrhage, chronic obstructive lung disease, and. Oliguria less urine than expected (less than 400ml in 24h) Anuria les than 100ml of urine in 24h or none at all (ex. seen in chronic renal.
