Elderly Female With Blood in Urine
Two distinct regions
R. & L. Kidneys: Regulate blood volume, blood pressure, synthesis glucose, release EPO stimulating RBC's, participate in Vit D synthesis
R. & L. Ureters: Transport Urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder
Urinary Bladder: Stores Urine
Urethra: Discharges Urine from body
Renal Cortex: Contain renal columns :
Renal Medulla: Contains renal medullary pyramids, Papillae
Together Renal Cortex and Pyramids make Parenchyma that contain Nephrons which are functional units of the kidneys
Nephron: microscopic functional filtration unit of kidney consists of renal corpuscle and renal tubule
All of corpuscle and most of tubules in cortex
Renal corpuscle: Where plasma is filtered composed of glomerulus and Glomerular Cap
Glomerulus: tangle of capillary loops, glomerular capillaries: With blood entering by afferent arteriole and exits by efferent arteriole
Glomerular capsule: Receives filtrate modified to form urine
Renal tubule filtered fluids and filtrate passes: three parts
Proximal convoluted tubule
Nephron loop: contains descending limb and ascending limb
Distal convoluted tubule:Extends to collecting duct
Each nephron drains in Collecting ducts.. Ducts fuse together deliver urine to minor calyx via papillae
Two Cells of Collecting Ducts
Principal cells: Hormones ADH &ALDO, maintains body's water & NA+ balance
Intercalated cells (types A and B) Help regulate urine ph and blood ph
Two types of nephrons
Cortical nephrons
Juxtamedullary nephrons; Plays important role in kidneys producing concentrated urine
Urinary System removes wasteful substances from blood, maintains the fluid of electrolyte balance of the body
Three Processes that urine is formed
Glomerular Filtration: In glomerular capillaries- Movement of substances from blood within the glomerulus space into the cap space
Tubular reabsorption: within peritubular capillaries and vasa recta -The movement of substance from tubular fluid back into blood
Tubular secretion:selectively into tubules - movement of solutes from blood to tubular fluid
Osteoporosis
Increased risk for falls, broken bones, fractures of bones
Hypertension High blood pressure
DM II High blood sugar levels
Elderly& Women
Damage to blood vessels kidneys can't filter waste
Kidney damage or failure
Hypertension- blood pressure, the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your blood vessels, is consistently too high.
Diabetes Mellitus -condition that affects the way your body metabolizes sugar (glucose) Abnormally high blood sugar levels
Osteoporosis-Bone weakening
