Deep Vein Thrombosis in Adolescents Deep Vein Thrombosis, often referred to as DVT, is the formation of a solid blood clot in a vein or artery, similar to a normal blood clot, which occurs due to external injury or skin abrasion near the surface of the skin. There are significantly greater risk factors with a DVT than an external clot as the internal clot can stop the flow of blood to organs and extremities. Severe cases can cause clots to break off and travel through the blood stream to the heart

Paper I: Predictive Value of Cardiac Troponin I and T for Subsequent Death in End-Stage Renal Disease Fred S. Apple, PhD; MaryAnn M. Murakami, BA; Lesly A. Pearce, MS; Charles A. Herzog, MD This is the study done by Apple et al, whose aim was to determine if an increased troponin was predictor of death in patients with ESRD and it also proved prevalence of raised troponin t and troponin i in ESRD patients. It is the largest study done till date on ESRD patients showing the relationship with troponin

CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT Adv Nursing questions (110 points) Adv Pharmacology (55 points) Adv Pathophysiology (35 points) CASE PRESENTATION Mr. Howard, a 57-year-old man, had a 3-month history of progressive typical anginal chest pain. He reported that the symptoms first occurred with heavy exertion and involved what he described as“heaviness” in his chest. The symptoms were promptly relieved with rest. Over the past weeks, he had been experiencing increasingly frequent episodes of chest

Anemia and Erythropoietin (EPO) – Erythropoietin is produced by the kidneys and is the hormone that regulates the production of red blood cells. The kidneys don’t make enough erythropoietin, so there are fewer blood cells, which can lead to anemia. • Renal Osteodystrophy – Since the kidneys can’t regulate the proper chemical levels in the blood during kidney failure, the bones don’t get enough calcium and other chemicals to keep them strong. • Hyperkalemia – When the kidneys fail, it runs the risk of

leaves the heart is the pulmonary artery and is the only artery that carries de-oxygenated blood and traveling through the lungs is then oxygenated and returned to the heart by the pulmonary vein and that is the only vein in the body to carry oxygenated blood. The now oxygenated blood leaves from the heart by the aorta and the splits to the carotid artery also known as the subclavian artery to the arms and the thoracic artery. The carotid artery leads to smaller arteries, arterioles and continuous capillaries

sub-acute renal failure. Type III: Cirrhosis with types I or II HRS on top of chronic kidney disease or acute kidney injury. Type IV: Fulminant liver failure with HRS. Diagnostic Criteria for HRS 1. Chronic or acute liver disease with progressed liver failure and portal hypertension. 2. Low GFR indicated by serum creatinine > 1.5 mg/dL or creatinine clearance < 40 mL/min in 24 hour. 3. Absence of circulatory shock, treatment with nephrotoxic drugs, absence of gastrointestinal or renal fluid losses

Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Simplified Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy, also referred to as CRRT, is a form of hemodialysis. Hemodialysis is used to treat kidney failure. A common term you will hear when talking about the kidneys is renal. Renal is the Latin name for kidney. What Kidneys Do To start to explain what dialysis is we first must start with a discussion about the kidneys. The kidneys are two fist sized organs in the shape of a bean. They are located below our back

Treatment - Low- purine diet, low-protein diet, alcohol restricted diet - Initial Tx is NSAIDs and should be used early in the first 24-48 hrs - Oral colchicine within 24-48 hrs (can’t be used with renal problem patients) - Corticosteroids can be given: Prednisone 30-40mg for 1-3 days and taper down slowly - Don’t treat for hyperuricemia

When the GFR remains <15mL/min per 1.73 m2 renal replacement therapy, either dialysis or transplantation is indicated.3 TK is CKD stage 3 with 38
