CARDIOVASCULAR Renal: Diuretics: most act by disrupting solute reabsorption. NA and CH are predominant solutes in the filtrate. Most of these solutes is reabsorbed in PCT. Also, most bicarb and potassium is reabsorbed here also. Urine moves down loop of Henle and drawn into the interstitial space, thereby decreasing volume of tubular urine and causes the urine to become more concentrated. Diuretics work by blocking reabsorption of sodium and chloride. This creates osmotic pressure within the nep...

NCSBN – Lesson 8D: Gastrointestinal System Study Guide Confusion and irritability are signs of renal encephalopathy secondary to elevated levels of BUN and creatinine in the blood. The other options do not explain the client's behavior. Potassium levels are generally high in renal failure. Side effects of calcium depletion manifest as abdominal and muscle cramping and hyperactive reflexes. Metabolic acidosis, not alkalosis, is seen in renal failure. Eating before sleeping enhances regurgi...
