True False A patient who has a low bicarbonate level will also have a low potassium level. Causes of low albumin include low protein intake, infection, proteinuria and severe liver disease. Inaccurate handling of the blood specimen can result in a falsely low PTH. In a patient on hemodialysis, a potassium level of 6.0 is acceptable. An excessive intake of meat will result in higher levels of BUN, phosphorus and potassium. In a patient without kidney function, hyperglycemia will be accompanied by hypokalemia.

His high calcium level is a consequence of taking his prescribed amount of PhosLo while eating less food. Thus, he absorbed more calcium from his phosphate binder. In this patient, with adynamic bone disease (low PTH without IV vitamin D therapy), he is unable to deposit calcium in his bones, so serum level rose quickly. PhosLo was held and the next week his calcium was 11.0 and phosphorus 5.8. Other possibilities for a rise in calcium might be that patient took Tums (or another calcium-containing antacid) because of the flu or heartburn; took phosphate binders between meals rather than with meals; was consuming…arrow_forwardlast two please (3 and 4)arrow_forward

True False DaVita's Mission is to be the provider, partner and employer of choice. Stage 5 CKD (GFR< 15 cc/minute) is classified as kidney failure. Two of the leading causes of CKD are diabetes and hypertension. Peritoneal dialysis therapy can be done independently at home. Healthy kidneys function to maintain acid/base balance, remove wastes and fluid, produce erythropoietin and to activate vitamin D. The diet for hemodialysis is more liberal than the diet for peritoneal dialysis. A typical hemodialysis treatment schedule is 5 times per week for 2 hours per treatment. The dietitian does not have to wear PPE since he/she does not initiate or terminate the dialysis treatment. Nutrition report cards are discussed with the patients on a quarterly basis.
