What contraindications are there to taking Vitamin B Complex if hypertensive?
Is vitamin B complex contraindicated in case of chronic renal disease
What is renal hormones?
The kidneys secrete a variety of hormones, including erythropoietin, and the enzyme renin. Erythropoietin is released in response to hypoxia (low levels of oxygen at tissue level) in the renal circulation. It stimulates erythropoiesis (production of red blood cells) in the bone marrow. Calcitriol, the activated form of vitamin D, promotes intestinal absorption of calcium and the renal reabsorption of phosphate. Part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, renin is an enzyme involved in the regulation of aldesterone levels.
Why do renal patients need hepo injections?
They havent produce erythtropetin.
What can cause proximal renal tubular acidosis to develop?
vitamin D deficiency, kidney transplantation, heavy metal poisoning, and treatment with certain drugs.
What are the three main regions of the kidney in their correct sequence from outermost to innermost?
renal cortex > renal medulla > renal pelvis1.renal medulla>renal pelvis>renal cortex2.renal medulla>renal cortex>renal pelvis3.renal cortex>renal medulla>renal pelvis4.renal cortex>renal pelvis>renal medulla
Erythropoitein which stimulates red blood cell production is produced by the?
Kidneys! it is not known that exactly where the erythrropoitein form in kidney. it is most likely that it is secreted by renal tubular epithelial cells
How does angiotension 2 affect kidney?
Angiotensin II affects the kidney in various ways: 1) it stimulates the secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex which causes the tubules of the kidneys to increase reabsorption of sodium(Na) and water into the blood increasing the volume of fluid in the body. This can be very useful in cases of hypovolemia(low blood volume). 2) it acts as a vasoconstrictor, thereby increasing test and blood pressure. 3) it stimulates the secretion of anti-diuretic hormone, also called vasopressin which stimulates the reabsorption of water in the kidneys and also acts as a vasoconstrictor. 4)it increases renal hypertrophy in renal tubule cell leading to an increase in Na intake.
Are renal pelvis and renal calculi the same?
The renal pelvis and renal calculi are not the same. The renal pelvis is a normal part of the body. Renal calculi are kidney stones and are not normal.
Can too much vitamin D cause blue lips?
No, but too much of Vitamin D may cause anorexia, nausea, and vomiting, frequently followed by polyuria, polydipsia, weakness, nervousness, pruritus, and, ultimately, renal failure. Kidney damage is also a possibility.
What diseases is caused by vitamins d?
