SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
This study was conducted by BSN IV (Music Track) of Voces Illustres Pacis 2012 of St. Paul
University Iloilo, Academic Year 2012-2013.
Data gathering and assessment were done on the following dates; August 15, 2012 to August 19,
2012, during our clinical exposure, every Monday to Wednesday from 7 am to 3pm,
![Page 8: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
at the Sacred Heart Annex of St. Paul Hospital Iloilo, Gen. Luna Street, Iloilo City and during our home
visit last September 19, 2012 at Oton, Iloilo.
A letter of permission to gather data was addressed to client. The case presenters started communicating
with the client last August 15, 2012.

SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
Due to lack of time, we decided to return to our client on August 17-19, 2012. However, Mr. C.T. was not
around during August 17, 2012 due to an operation conducted to him, thus limiting our time with the client. Mr. C. T. sometimes appeared to be
inconsistent with some answers given to us but information was further validated from his wife.

SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
Collecting the data, assessment and case discussions were done inside the school
premises at St. Paul University Iloilo and case presenters’ respective homes. Confidentiality of the patient’s data is crucial and was observed
at all times.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) - The connection of a vein to an artery, usually in the forearm, to allow access to the vascular system for hemodialysis, a procedure that performs the function of the kidney in people whose kidneys have failed. Connecting the vein and artery requires a surgical procedure. The fistula develops over a period of 1 to 2 months after the surgery.
Arteriovenous Fistula Creation – The procedure performed to provide a long-lasting site through which blood can be removed and returned during hemodialysis.
![Page 13: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
DEFINTION OF TERMS
Azotemia - A condition wherein the person’s blood contains uncommon levels of urea, creatinine, and other compounds rich in nitrogen. It is also one clinical characteristic of a wider condition known as Uremia, which includes other conditions such as Acidosis, Anemia, Hyperkalemia, Hypertension, and Hypocalcemia.
![Page 14: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
DEFINTION OF TERMS
Beriberi – Also known as Thiamine Deficiency, refers to the lack of thiamine pyrophosphate, the active form of the vitamin known as thiamine (also spelled thiamin), or vitamin B-1. Thiamine is a water-soluble vitamin that is absorbed in the jejunum. When the thiamine level in the small intestines is low, an active transport portal is responsible for absorption.
![Page 15: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
DEFINTION OF TERMSBlood Urea Nitrogen Test (BUN) – A test that measures
the amount of nitrogen in the blood that comes from the waste product. A normal range for BUN is generally 8 to 24 mg/dL for adult men (2.86 to 8.57 mmol/L) and 6 to 21 mg/dL (2.14 to 7.50 mmol/L) for adult women. Levels may also vary by age. Generally, a high blood urea nitrogen level means your kidneys aren't working well, particularly if the result is above 50 mg/dL (17.85 mmol/L). But, elevated urea nitrogen can also be due to urinary tract obstruction, congestive heart failure or gastrointestinal bleeding. Your blood urea nitrogen level may also increase as a result of dehydration, shock, burns or fever.
![Page 16: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
DEFINTION OF TERMS
Certain medications, such as corticosteroids, may increase urea nitrogen levels, too. In addition, a high protein diet can cause your BUN level to increase. Lower than normal blood urea nitrogen levels may be a sign of liver damage. But low levels can also be caused by malnutrition, a low-protein diet or a high-carbohydrate diet.
![Page 17: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
DEFINTION OF TERMS
Cardiomegaly - A condition wherein the heart enlarges in a cardiothoracic ratio of more than 0.50. It can be attributed to a lot of causes, but mostly it is because of low heart output, otherwise referred to as a cardiac failure. It occurs if the heart is more than 50 percent bigger than the inner diameter of one’s rib cage and is assumed to be the direct effect of the thickening of the heart muscles and that happens when the heart is given an increased workload.
![Page 18: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
DEFINTION OF TERMSThis increase workload on the other hand, may be
due to other health conditions present in the body. Viral illnesses and previous heart attacks can cause the heart to overwork. Drug abuse, inflammation of the heart, and uncontrolled hypertension are the known issues that may give rise to cardiomegaly. It is believed to not be the disease itself, but just a sign of a possibly more severe problem. Physicians diagnose this condition by conducting a chest x-ray. Usually, this disease is identified through an incidental test on the upper body, even if it is not directed to the disease in itself.
![Page 19: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
DEFINTION OF TERMS
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) – Occurs when one suffers from gradual and usually permanent loss of kidney function over time. This happens gradually, usually over months to years. It is divided into five stages of increasing severity.
![Page 20: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

DEFINITION OF TERMS
Cough Reflex - The events initiated by the sensitivity of the lining of the airways and mediated by the medulla as a consequence of impulses transmitted by the vagus nerve, resulting in coughing.
Dehydration – A condition in which the body does
not have as much water and fluids as it should. It is classified as mild, moderate, or severe based on how much of the body's fluid is lost or not replenished. When severe, dehydration is a life-threatening emergency.
![Page 22: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Edema - Swelling caused by the accumulation of abnormally large amounts of fluid in the spaces between the body's cells or in the circulatory system. It is most common in feet, ankles, and legs. It can also affect the face and hands.
End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) – Also known as Chronic Renal Disease; a progressive loss in renal function over a period of months or years. The symptoms of deteriorating kidney function are unspecific and might include feeling generally unwell and experiencing a reduced appetite.
![Page 23: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Erythropoietin – A hormone produced by the kidney that promotes the formation of red blood cells in the bone marrow.
Exudate - A fluid with a high content of protein and cellular debris which has escaped from blood vessels and has been deposited in tissues or on tissue surfaces, usually as a result of inflammation.
![Page 24: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Glomerular Filtration- It is the first step of urine formation; the renal process whereby fluid in the blood is filtered across the capillaries of the glomerulus and into the urinary space of Bowman's capsule.
Glomerular Filtration Rate - an expression of the quantity of glomerular filtrate formed each minute in the nephrons of both kidneys, usually measured by the rate of clearance of creatinine.
![Page 25: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Hemodialysis - A mechanical way to cleanse the blood and balance body fluids and chemicals when kidneys are not able to perform these essential functions. It is performed as critical life support when someone suffers from Acute or Chronic Kidney failure.
Hypertensive Cardiovascular Disease (HCVD) – A condition caused by high blood pressure (Hypertension) and manifests as Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), heart failure, and enlargement of the heart. It is the leading cause of hypertensive illness and death.
![Page 26: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Hypertensive Urgency – A condition wherein a person has very high blood pressure and have no symptoms. In these cases, the elevated blood pressure is discovered incidentally. This indicates that the blood pressure is high enough to cause serious risk of sudden, life threatening events, but that no such events are currently occurring. In other words, these patients have no organ failure or other immediately life threatening conditions, but could quickly develop them if their blood pressure isn’t quickly brought under control.
![Page 27: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Hypertrophy – Enlargement or overgrowth of an organ or part of the body due to the increase in size of the constituent cells.
Hypocalcemia – A low blood calcium level that occurs when the concentration of free calcium ions in the blood falls below 4.0 mg/dL (dL = one tenth of a liter). The normal concentration of free calcium ions in the blood serum is 4.0-6.0 mg/dL.
![Page 28: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Intrajugular Catheter – A central venous catheter inserted through the internal jugular vein to serve as a temporary vascular access for hemodialysis.
Nephrosclerosis – A progressive disease of the kidneys that results from sclerosis (hardening) of the small blood vessels in the kidneys. It is most commonly associated with hypertension or diabetes and can lead to kidney failure.
![Page 29: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Nitrogenous – Wastes that come during the breakdown of proteins. The main nitrogenous wastes are urea and uric acid. Urea is formed from gluconeogenesis of amino acids, while uric acid is from gluconeogenesis of nucleotides. These molecules are mainly removed from the body, keeping a low concentration of them in the blood. Urea is also used in the medulla to increase the amount of solute in the medullary interstitial fluid (making it more hypertonic). This helps in the reabsorption of water. Urea is a waste product and is also useful in the kidney for water reabsorption.
![Page 30: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Oliguria - A diminished capacity to form and pass urine less than 500 mL in every 24 hours so that the end products of metabolism cannot be excreted efficiently. It is usually caused by imbalances in body fluids and electrolytes, renal lesions, or urinary tract obstruction.
Pallor – Paleness of the skin or mucosa. Although it is commonly associated with anemia, many long-term cases show mucosa of normal color. It is also a common sign of shock
![Page 31: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Pneumonia – An inflammation of the lungs caused by infection. Bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites can cause pneumonia. Pneumonia can range in seriousness from mild to life threatening.
Renin-Angiotensin Aldosterone System (RAAS) - A hormonal cascade that functions in the homeostatic control of arterial pressure, tissue perfusion, and extracellular volume. Dysregulation of the RAAS plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular and renal disorders.
![Page 32: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
DEFINITION OF TERMSSerum Creatinine – A test performed to measure
the level of the waste product creatinine in a person's blood. This test also helps to assess the functioning of the kidneys. Creatine is formed during the metabolism of proteins. This creatine is further broken down into creatinine. The kidneys filter the blood and throw creatinine out of the body through urine.
![Page 33: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
DEFINITION OF TERMS
If the kidneys fail to do so effectively due to some kidney disease, the creatinine level in the urine decreases and that in the blood increases. This test is usually performed to check whether the kidneys are functioning normally. It is also useful in monitoring the progress of a kidney disease and to assess a patient's response to treatment. The test can also help to tell if a person is suffering from severe dehydration.
![Page 34: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT) - This enzyme is found in the liver, muscles (including the heart), and red blood cells. It is released into the blood when cells that contain it are damaged. Other names for this enzyme are aspartate aminotranskinase, aspartate transaminase, and AST.
![Page 35: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Serum Pyruvate Aminotransferase (SGPT) – Also known as Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT); done to see if the liver is diseased or damaged. This enzyme is found in cells of the heart, kidneys, muscles and pancreas in small amounts, but it is in much greater concentration in the liver. Although there is normally a low level of GPT in the bloodstream, it will greatly increase in the presence of certain diseases, such as cirrhosis and hepatitis. The use of certain medications, such as statins to lower cholesterol, can also irritate the liver causing GPT to be released.
![Page 36: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Severe Hypertension – A condition wherein the systolic blood pressure (SBP) is more than 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is more than 110 mmHg, with some variability from study to study.
Uremia - A toxic condition resulting from kidney disease in which there is retention in the bloodstream of waste products normally excreted in the urine. This is also known as azotemia.

History of Present Illness
![Page 47: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
HISTORY OF PRESENT
ILLNESS Last 2007, at around noon time, after eating
lunch while watching Eat Bulaga at home, Mr. C. T. experienced dizziness described as “pagpalang dulom nga daw matumba”, aggravated by movement, blood pressure checked by neighbor, Mrs. W.T., which resulted to 200/110 mmHg, advised to rest and took 150 mcg Catapres to alleviate dizziness and elevated blood pressure as prescribed by Dr. J. A. upon initial consultation last 2006. Blood pressure was not rechecked. After a few hours of rest, dizziness was relieved.
![Page 48: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
3 days after, woke up at around 3 am, experienced feeling of fullness on both calves and felt no pain upon palpation. Assumed that enlargement of calves was “beri-beri”. No intervention was done and continued to observe lower extremities.
![Page 49: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
A month after, at around 11 am, experienced dizziness again and assumed that blood pressure was increased. Decided to seek consultation from Dr. J. A.’s clinic at St. Paul’s Hospital Iloilo regarding dizziness and enlargement of lower extremities; blood pressure was checked which resulted to 180/110 mmHg and prescribed to continue taking Catapres with the same dose of 150 mcg once a day and Atenolol 100 mg once a day and was immediately referred to Dr. H. O.

COMPLETE BLOOD COUNTThe complete blood count (CBC) with the differential is one of the most commonly performed test in health care. The test is used to determine the hematologic status of the patients. This laboratory test was taken as part of the hospital’s routine procedure which is done to the patient upon admission at the Emergency Room.

HEMOGLOBIN 5.7 9.2 g/dL 12.0-15.0 Decreased. This shows that there is a decreased amount of oxygen being supplied to different tissues. Since haemoglobin is a component of red blood cells, the level of haemoglobin decrease when levels of red blood cells decreases. Decrease haemoglobin compromises low oxygen transport from the lungs to the blood since client has pneumonia as seen in the chest x-ray.
HEMATOCRIT 18.3 28.8 g/dl 37.0-47.0 Decreased. This may show anemia and dietary insufficiency.Decreased in the number or size of red blood cells also decreases the amount of space they occupy, resulting in decrease haematocrit since it measures the percentage of blood that is comprised of red blood cell.

ULTRASOUND REPORTDone to evaluate the urinary tract which includes the kidney, ureter and urinary bladder in the male patient the prostate gland and seminal vesicle are also scan.08/09/12
Lower Abdomen Ultrasound:The kidneys are small in size. The Right kidney measures 7.9 (L) x 4.1 (W) x 2.9
(AP) cm with cortical thickness of 0.7 cm, while the left kidney measures 7.6 (L) x 4.0 (W) x 3.5 (AP) cm with cortical thickness of 1.1 cm. The parenchyma of both kidneys appears hyperechogenic. The cortices are not thinned out. No lithiases.
The urinary bladder is partially filled. Foley catheter balloon is seen within the lumen.
The prostate gland measures 2.7 x 3.5 x 2.4 cm. (LWAP) with an approximate weight of 12.1 grams. There are concretions in the inner gland. The prostatic capsule is intact. REMARKS: RENAL PARENCHYMAL DISEASE, BILATERAL.
NORMAL PROSTATE ULTRASONICALLY. FOLEY CATHETER IN PLACE.
Significance: When renal parenchymal disease is seen on an ultrasound it means that the kidney has lost part or all of its function. The kidney can be scarred or damaged because of disease making it unable to function properly, therefore resulting in the kidney losing the ability to filter waste products properly.

DOCTOR’S ORDER/ TIMING: Calvit 1 tab TIDBRAND NAME:CalvitGENERIC NAME: Calcium CarbonateDRUG CLASSIFICATION: SupplementINDICATION:
It is given to the patient because the patient’s kidneys are unable to filter calcium; as a result, calcium is freely eliminated by the kidney which resulted to the patient having a decrease serum calcium level (refer to laboratory results). Calvit is given to the patient to maintain the patient’s calcium level to a normal level to prevent future bone resorption and muscle wasting.
ACTION:
Calvit contains vitamin D that helps in calcium absorption and regeneration in the bones and muscles.

![Page 129: Kidney Maybe Super No Www](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110216/577cc6ef1a28aba7119f8ee5/html5/thumbnails/129.jpg)
ACTION:
SIDE EIt reduces the viscosity of bronchial secretions. The free sulphydryl group in Fluimucil breaks the disulphide bridges present in the mucus and thereby causes mucolysis. Further, in the mucus producing cells.Fluimucil prevents the formation of disulphide bonds and thereby regulates the viscosity of the mucus. Also, as a precursor of glutathione, an endogenous antioxidant.Fluimucil ensures a protective acion on the respiratory system. Thus, it not only protects the respiratory function, but also improves it.

GOALS OF CARE NURSING INTERVENTION RATIONALE EVALUATION CLIENT’S RESPONSE
Monitor response to medication to control blood pressure
COLLABORATIVE: Administer medications as
indicated:o Diuretics
o Alpha, beta, or centrally acting antagonist
o Calcium channel antagonist
o Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor
Response to drug therapy is dependent on both the individual as well as the synergistic effect of the drugs. Because of side effects, drug interactions, and patient’s motivation to use the smallest number and lowed dosage of medication
These drugs produce marked diureses by inhibiting resorption of sodium and chloride and are effective antihypertensives
Specifications of these drugs vary, but they generally reduce BP through the combined effect of decreased total peripheral resistance, reduce cardiac output, inhibit sympathetic activity and suppression of renin release
Maybe necessary to treat severe hypertension when a combination of a diuretic and a sympathetic inhibitor does not sufficiently control BP
The use of an additional sympathetic inhibitor may be required for its cumulative effect when other measures have failed to control BP or when congestive heart failure or diabetes is present
