Why? What is the best treatment option to prevent this from occurring? If J.S does not receive adequate treatment it may lead to postrenal kidney injury, intrinsic/ intrarenal kidney injury whic... h will affect anatomic areas leading to acute tubular necrosis (ATN). Also, let’s not forget that if one kidney is affected the remaining kidney activity will increase to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance. Obstruction of the renal pelvis or ureters of both kidneys, of the bladder outlet, or the urethra will result in discernible postrenal kidney disease (Banasik &Copstead, 2019). The best treatment is to ensure J.S has the correct IV fluids, diet/nutrition, monitoring, and to finish any medication prescribed. Dialysis may also be a treatment to recover from his injury. • What other laboratory data besides urine output should be collected to evaluate J. S.'s renal function? Blood testing (creatinine, urea nitrogen phosphorus, and potassium), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), imaging tests, or a kidney biopsy may be collected to evaluate J.S renal function (National Kidney Foundation, n.d.). • If J. S.’s renal function continues to be diminished without any improvement, what could be the subsequent stages of his renal disorder? Subsequent stages of J.S’s renal disorder if there is no improvement can lead to end stage kidney disease as the GFR describes as, “complete loss of kidney function”. This will occur if J.S’s condition doesn’t improve and his kidney suddenly become unable to filter waste products from your blood. When the kidneys lose their filtering ability, dangerous levels of wastes may accumulate, and your blood’s chemical make-up [Show More]
