An elderly female patient has a history of osteoporosis, chronic type II…

- - - - left kidney sits higher than the right
- - - - parietal layer
        
        simple squamous epithelium
      - Visceral Layer
        
        clings to glomerulus capillaries
        
        consist of podocytes
        
        have foot process that cling to the basement membrane of the glomerulus
        
        the cleft opening between the foot processes are Filtration Slits
        
        through the slits, filtrate enters capsular space inside the bowman's capsule
    - - large amounts of solute-rich, protein free fluid pass from the blood and into the bowman's capsule
      - fenestrated capillaries
  - - - Sodium, potassium
  - - - short microvilli
      - responsible for maintaining the body's water and sodium balance
    - - cuboidal cells
      - abundant microvilli
      - 2 varieties of intercalated cells ( type a and b )
        
        each play a role in maintaining the acid-base balance of the blood
- - - - High blood pressure
      - obesity
      - heart and blood vessel disease
  - - - there's no identifiable cause
      - tends to develop gradually over many years.
    - - Some people have high blood pressure caused by an underlying condition
      - tends to appear suddenly and cause higher blood pressure than does primary hypertension
      - Kidney problems can lead to hypertension
    - - age
        
        The risk of high blood pressure increases as you age
      - Family history
      - Obesity
      - Too much sodium
        
        Too much sodium in your diet can cause your body to retain fluid, which increases blood pressure.
      - Not Enough Potassium
        
        Potassium helps balance the amount of sodium in your cells. If you don't get enough potassium in your diet or retain enough potassium, you may accumulate too much sodium in your blood.
      - Stress
- - - - which can cause blood in the urine
- - - - which then can lead to Kidney Failure
        
        If your kidneys stop working completely, your body fills with extra water and waste products (uremia)
        
        Patient will feel tired and weak because their body needs clean blood to function properly.
        
        can lead to seizures or coma
        
        if untreated, the patient whole body will eventually shut down due to lack of unclean blood or no blood at all
