What contraindications are there to taking Vitamin B Complex if hypertensive?
Is vitamin B complex contraindicated in case of chronic renal disease
Why do renal patients need hepo injections?
They havent produce erythtropetin.
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.
Renal failure leads to this blood condition?
Renal failure can lead to anemia, due to reduced production of erythropoietin, which stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow. The kidneys also play a role in maintaining proper levels of electrolytes and removing waste products from the blood, so renal failure can result in electrolyte imbalances and uremia.
What are the parts of the kidney and their functions?
The kidney consists of several key parts, including the renal cortex, renal medulla, and renal pelvis. The renal cortex contains nephrons, the functional units that filter blood and produce urine. The renal medulla houses the collecting ducts and helps concentrate urine by reabsorbing water and electrolytes. The renal pelvis collects urine from the nephrons and channels it into the ureter for excretion.
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
What is renal damage?
Renal damage refers to any harm or injury to the kidneys, which are vital organs responsible for filtering waste and excess fluid from the blood to produce urine. Common causes of renal damage include infections, high blood pressure, diabetes, and certain medications. Severe renal damage can lead to kidney failure, requiring treatments such as dialysis or a kidney transplant.
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.
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?
Vitamin D is essential for the production of bone. The toxic effects of prolonged vitamin D overdose over time can include fetal abnormalities, hypercalcemia, anorexia, renal failure and several others. The overdose has to be very large though.
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.
