  2. Renal physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_physiology

    A simple means of estimating renal function is to measure pH, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and basic electrolytes (including sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate). As the kidney is the most important organ in controlling these values, any derangement in these values could suggest renal impairment.

  3. Renal compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_compensation

    The renal compensation process usually takes a few days to complete as it is dependent upon changes in the reabsorption of bicarbonate. [4] End-staged renal diseases as well as chronic kidney diseases increase the overall risk of individuals developing pneumonia due to the interactions between the kidneys and the lungs. [3]

  4. Fractional excretion of sodium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_excretion_of_sodium

    The fractional excretion of sodium (FE Na) is the percentage of the sodium filtered by the kidney which is excreted in the urine. It is measured in terms of plasma and urine sodium , rather than by the interpretation of urinary sodium concentration alone, as urinary sodium concentrations can vary with water reabsorption .

  5. Distal renal tubular acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distal_renal_tubular_acidosis

    dRTA commonly leads to sodium loss and volume contraction, which causes a compensatory increase in blood levels of aldosterone. [4] Aldosterone causes increased resorption of sodium and loss of potassium in the collecting duct of the kidney, so these increased aldosterone levels cause the hypokalemia which is a common symptom of dRTA.

  6. Intravenous sodium bicarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intravenous_sodium_bicarbonate

    Intravenous sodium bicarbonate is indicated in the treatment of metabolic acidosis, such as can occur in severe kidney disease, diabetic ketoacidosis [citation needed], circulatory insufficiency, extracorporeal circulation of blood, in hemolysis requiring alkalinization of the urine to avoid nephrotoxicity of blood pigments, and certain drug intoxications, such as by barbiturate overdose ...

  7. Metabolic acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_acidosis

    Metabolic acidosis is a serious electrolyte disorder characterized by an imbalance in the body's acid-base balance.Metabolic acidosis has three main root causes: increased acid production, loss of bicarbonate, and a reduced ability of the kidneys to excrete excess acids. [5]

  8. Diuresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diuresis

    The kidney's resorptive mechanisms are particularly energetic, using nearly 100% of the O 2 supplied. Thus, the kidney is particularly sensitive to reduction in blood supply. This phenomenon occurs because renal flow is restored prior to the normal resorption function of the renal tubule. As shown by the graph, urine flow recovers rapidly and ...

  9. Metabolic alkalosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_alkalosis

    Metabolic alkalosis is an acid-base disorder in which the pH of tissue is elevated beyond the normal range (7.35–7.45). This is the result of decreased hydrogen ion concentration, leading to increased bicarbonate (HCO − 3), or alternatively a direct result of increased bicarbonate concentrations.
