NUR 2500 Final Exam Questions and Answers Already Passed What is the pathophysiology of hypertension? Hypertension occurs when there is an increase in blood pressure due to the narrowing or stiffening of blood vessels, leading to increased resistance against blood flow.

Autoregulation of renal blood flow - correct answers prevents large changes in GFR when there are increases/decreases in BP; regulated neural and hormonal regulation renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system - correct answers -decreased blood pressure causes the juxtaglomerular cells of kidneys to secrete renin which converts angiotensinogen (inactive) to angiotensin I (active) which is then converted into angiotensin II by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) -Angiotensin II stimulates the adr...

Creatinine limitations include? Correct Answer-- age, gender, race, diet, and metabolism - Low muscle mass → disproportionately low serum creatinine and overestimation of GFR −GFR may be <50% normal before serum creatinine ↑ Newer marker of GFR Correct Answer-Cystatin C CKD-EPI equation→ most accurate when Correct Answer-GFR is normal/mildly reduced * performs better at higher (normal) values of glomerular filtration rate. Cockroft-Gault and MDRD equations → most accur...
