Elderly female has history of osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and DM II…

- - - - perirenal fat capsule
        
        fatty mass surrounds kidney
      - fibrous capsule
        
        transparent, prevents infection
      - renal fascia
        
        outer layer, anchors kidney
    - - ureter
        
        tube (transports urine to bladder
      - kidney
        
        functional unit = Nephron
        
        retroperitoneal position
        
        2 kidneys
        
        internal anatomy

        medulla/renal pyramid
        
        renal cortex
        
        superficial region
        
        renal pelvis
        
        mayor & minor calyces
        
        drain urine to ureters
      - bladder
        
        collects stores urine
      - urethra
        
        urine exits body
  - - - insulin resistance
      - tissues don't respond effectively to normal insulin levels
      - usually during adulthood
      - diabetics prone to UTI's
      - affect blood vessels, kidneys & nerves due to blood sugar levels
    - - urinary system relation
        
        Help with bone health by controlling calcium and phosphorus
      - bones become weak & brittle
      - bone reabsorption outpaces bone deposit
      - a diet poor in calcium, vitamin D, protein
    - - chronic conditions including kidney problems & diabetes lead to this
      - chronically elevated BP systolic or diastolic
      - mayor cause
        
        renal failure
        
        vascular disease
        
        heart failure
      - accelerates atherosclerosis
  - - - renal corpuscle
        
        Glomerular capsule
        
        permeable visceral layer
        
        capsular space between 2 layers
        
        impermeable parietal layer
        
        Glomerulus
        
        afferent arteriole
        
        blood entering
        
        tangle of capillary loops
        
        efferent arteriole
        
        exit
      - renal tubule
        
        proximal convoluted tubule
        
        Nephron loop
        
        descending limb
        
        ascending limb
        
        remaining portion of nephron
        
        Distal convoluted tubule
        
        extends to collecting duct
    - - Cortical
        
        short nephron loop
        
        85% of nephrons
      - Juxtamedullary
        
        long nephron loop
        
        role in kidney's ability produce concentrated urine
        
        3 types of cells
        
        granular cells
        
        extraglomerular cells
        
        Macula densa
  - - - excrete metabolic waste
      - regulate RBC production
      - osmolality
      - regulate blood pressure
      - convert Vitamin D to active form
      - balance body fluids
      - major homeostatic organ
    - - elimate liquid waste
        
        urea
      - create urine
      - filter blood
  - - - dumping filtrate into waste container
      - takes place in renal corpuscle
    - - reclaiming what body needs to keep
      - reabsorption of
        
        amino acids
