Hypertension Hypertension is one of the most common worldwide diseases afflicting humans. Because of the associated morbidity and mortality and the cost to society‚ hypertension is an important public health challenge. Over the past several decades‚ extensive research‚ widespread patient education‚ and a concerted effort on the part of health care professionals have led to decreased mortality and morbidity rates from the multiple organ damage arising from years of untreated hypertension.

dilute urine. Renin-Angiotesin-Aldosterone System Stimulus for their release = if blood pressure drops dramatically this will trigger renin secretion from the JG cells‚ renin acts on angiotensinogen to form angiotensin I‚ angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II therefore angiotensin II causes mean arterial pressure to rise and stimulates the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone. As a result‚ both systemic and glomerular hydrostatic pressure rises. Actions (decrease/increase GFR) = the efferent

Aging and Congestive Heart Failure Rebecca E. Welch What Is Congestive Heart Failure? Congestive Heart Failure‚ also known as CHF‚ is a chronic condition that affects the chambers of your heart. You have four chambers: two atria in the upper half of the heart and two ventricles in the lower half. The ventricles send blood to your organs and tissue and the atria receives the blood as it circulates back from the rest of the body. CHF develops when your ventricles cannot pump in sufficient volume

How can AKI be prevented? According to the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death 2009‚ up to 30% of cases of acute kidney injury may be preventable and the best ’treatment of AKI is prevention.’ [3]This can mainly be done by identifying patients most at risk as early as possible. This would involve constant monitoring of urinary output and serum creatinine levels for the high risk patients. However in general‚ all hospitalized patients with acute illness should be monitored

Case Study #3 1. Out of the three time points‚ Max was the most dehydrated immediately after exercise. 2. The two parameters that can be used to determine Max’s hydration status is color and and pH. It is not specific gravity (SG) because Max’s SG is 1.035 which is within normal range. It is also not protein because in the lab manual it says that a trace amount of albumin in Max’s urine is normal. 3. If ADH levels increase‚ water reabsorption by the DCT/collecting ducts increases and the resulting
