DISORDERS OF THE KIDNEY
-
GLOMERULONEPHITIS
-
pathophysiology
-
-
induce an inflammatory response, which results in the damage of the glomerulus
-
-
-
-
-
NEPHROTIC SYNDROME
-
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
when the glomerular basement membrane is damaged, there is an increase in permibility
-
as the body continues to lose proteins, serum albumin is decreased.
-
-
-
-
ACUTE PYELONEPRITIS
DEFINATION
Is the bacterial infection and the inflammation of the renal pelvis ,tubules and intestinal tissue of one or both kidney
-
-
-
-
-
RENAL FAILURE
DEFINATION
is the rapid decline or loss of kidney function due to a sudden decrease in the glomerular filtrationrate.
CAUSES
-
-
-
postrenal causes e.g enlarged prostate, cancer of the cervix
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
-
-
-
-
afferent arterioles constrict and glomerular filtration pressure drops, resulting in hypovalaemia
-
-
-
DIALYSIS
Is the process that involves selective movement of solutes water from one compartment to another through a semi-permeable membrane
-
-
-
-
RENAL TRAUMA
may be due to blunt trauma from blows or assaults, falls resulting in contusion or rupture of the kidneys
-
-
-
-
-
SURGERIES OF THE KIDNEY
NEPRECTOMY
surgical removal of the kidney following trauma, tumours including cysts
-
-
-
DIALYSIS
Is a process that involves selective movement of solutes and water from one compartment to another through a semipermeable membrane
