Review Study Guide
1. What are the three stages of AKI presentation?: - Prodromal
- Oliguric
- post-oliguric

frost (itching & discomfort)
7. . Metabolic acidosis: - Retention of acidic waste products, hyperkalemia
8. Electrolyte Imbalances: - Retained potassium (hyperkalemia), phosphorus,
and magnesium
9. Bone and mineral disorders: Elevated phosphorus and PTH causes altered
bone/mineral metabolism.
Kidneys are unable to reabsorb calcium (body steals calcium from parts of the
