Question #1
Based on this persons symptoms, history Based on this persons symptoms, history and lab work – What do you think her and lab work – What do you think her diagnosis would be?diagnosis would be?
1.1. CRFCRF
2.2. ARFARF
3.3. CHFCHF
4.4. Influenza Influenza
Main Menu
Answer
The correct answer is # 1 chronic renal failure (CRF)
Symptoms progressively worsening x several monthsSymptoms progressively worsening x several monthsElevated creatinine Elevated creatinine : all 3 indicative of renal failure: all 3 indicative of renal failureElevated BUN Elevated BUN
SOBSOBShoes too tight Shoes too tight :indicating fluid retention:indicating fluid retention

Question #2
Which compensatory mechanism causes the Which compensatory mechanism causes the increased fluid retention, increased sodium increased fluid retention, increased sodium
and elevated blood-pressure?and elevated blood-pressure?
1.1. Renin – Angiotensin – Aldosterone System Renin – Angiotensin – Aldosterone System (RAAS)(RAAS)
2.2. Bone Marrow suppressionBone Marrow suppression
3.3. Deregulation of baroreceptorsDeregulation of baroreceptors
4.4. Suppression of Sympathetic Nervous SystemSuppression of Sympathetic Nervous System
Main Menu
Answer
#1 RAAS- Renin – Angiotensin – Aldosteron#1 RAAS- Renin – Angiotensin – Aldosterone System is correcte System is correct
Reduced renal blood flow due to HTN, epithelial damage and stenosis causes the kidneys to secrete renin activating the system over and over- the end result is fluid and sodium retention which further increases blood pressure.

1. Progressive over long period of time
2. H & H <10
3. HCT < 30
4. Sodium of 137

Question #5
Her risk factors as identified resulted in what Her risk factors as identified resulted in what happening to her kidneys?happening to her kidneys?
1.1. Nephron destructionNephron destruction
2.2. Vessel stenosisVessel stenosis
3.3. Sclerosis of the glomeruliSclerosis of the glomeruli
4.4. All of the aboveAll of the above

Answer
#4 is correct – all of the above#4 is correct – all of the above
Renal failure progresses as nephrons are Renal failure progresses as nephrons are destroyed. Epithelial damage leads to destroyed. Epithelial damage leads to sclerosis of the glomeruli and stenosis of sclerosis of the glomeruli and stenosis of the vessel wallsthe vessel walls
