Exam 1 Acute Kidney Injury and Chronic Kidney Disease
What are common symptoms of acute kidney injury?
Common symptoms of acute kidney injury include reduced urine output, swelling, fatigue, confusion,
and nausea. ✔️✔️
How can kidney function be assessed through imaging studies?
Imaging studies such as ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI can assess kidney size, structure, and blood flow,
helping to identify potential causes of kidney dysfunction. ✔️✔️
What is the purpose of measuring urine protein levels in CKD?
Measuring urine protein levels helps determine the severity of kidney damage and can guide treatment
decisions in patients with CKD. ✔️✔️
How does hyperglycemia contribute to kidney damage in diabetic patients?
Chronic hyperglycemia can damage blood vessels in the kidneys, leading to diabetic nephropathy and
increased risk of CKD. ✔️✔️
What are the risk factors for developing CKD?
Risk factors for developing CKD include diabetes, hypertension, family history of kidney disease, older
age, and a history of urinary tract infections. ✔️✔️
How can exercise benefit individuals with CKD?
Regular exercise can improve cardiovascular health, enhance physical function, help manage weight,
and reduce stress, benefiting individuals with CKD. ✔️✔️
What is the relationship between CKD and anemia?
CKD can lead to anemia due to reduced production of erythropoietin, which stimulates red blood cell
production, resulting in fatigue and weakness. ✔️✔️
, What are some common complications associated with AKI?
Common complications of AKI include fluid overload, electrolyte imbalances, metabolic acidosis, and
increased risk of chronic kidney disease. ✔️✔️
How does the presence of proteinuria indicate kidney impairment?
Proteinuria indicates that the kidneys' filtering mechanism is damaged, allowing protein to leak into the
urine, which is a sign of kidney impairment. ✔️✔️
What role does patient adherence to prescribed medications play in CKD management?
Adherence to prescribed medications is critical in CKD management to control blood pressure, manage
diabetes, and slow disease progression. ✔️✔️
How does hypertension affect kidney blood vessels?
Hypertension can cause damage to the small blood vessels in the kidneys, leading to decreased kidney
function and increased risk of CKD. ✔️✔️
What lifestyle changes can help prevent the progression of CKD?
Lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular physical activity, controlling blood sugar
and blood pressure, and avoiding smoking can help prevent CKD progression. ✔️✔️
What is the importance of dietary potassium restriction for CKD patients?
Restricting dietary potassium is essential for CKD patients to prevent hyperkalemia, which can lead to
serious heart problems. ✔️✔️
What are the indications for initiating dialysis in CKD patients?
Indications for initiating dialysis include severe electrolyte imbalances, persistent uremic symptoms, and
significantly decreased kidney function (eGFR < 15 mL/min). ✔️✔️
How can family support impact the management of CKD?
