Acute renal failure (ARF)‚ also know as Acute Kidney Injury/Impairment (AKI) is described as a condition where there is a rapid decline in kidney function which results in an increase in accumulation of waste materials in the body and decreased urine output‚ usually over hours to weeks‚ occurring in a person with or without a previous pre-existing renal disease (Van Biesen‚ W.‚ Vanholder‚ R.‚ & Lameire‚ N.‚ 2006). Acute loss of renal function can be due to poor perfusion to the kidneys‚ called prerenal

all U.S. citizens. 2) The costs for health care coverage would be reduced. 3) The health care system would become more efficient. A universal health care plan would provide Health Care coverage for all U.S. citizens. The current health care system does not cover a large portion of the U.S. population. Many U.S. citizens cannot afford to obtain health care‚ or they are excluded from the health care system for some other reason. This creates a gap between those Americans that have health care coverage

Describe the physiology of the cardiovascular system in relation to energy. A.T.P is stored‚ chemical energy in the cell‚ without A.T.P we would die. To make A.T.P we need glucose oxygen. Carbon dioxide and heat are the waste products. The main function of the cardiovascular system in relation to energy is to transport the oxygen and glucose to the cells‚ and to transport the waste products such as carbon dioxide and urea (waste product from protein digestion) away from the cells and to the lungs

Fluid balance is when the quantity of water we gain each day is equivalent to the amount we lose to the environment. The upkeep of normal fluid balance includes regulating the content and sharing of body water in the ECF and the ICF. The digestive system is the main source of water gains; a small amount of extra water is generated by metabolic activity. With electrolyte balance‚ it involves balancing the amounts of absorption across the digestive tract with amounts of loss at the kidneys. Everyday
