What don't you understand about it?

Test tomorrow?

No, but a 2 page paper on pathophys.

Moved to Nursing Student Assistance Forum.

Here's a Medscape article. There are many reasons for AKI so in order to figure the pathophys - you need to know the cause.

Is there a something specific that you found in your research that you don't understand?

Your textbook may have some info. Read up and then post your questions.

What's funny is the fact that the pathophys of acute kidney injury is what I'm looking for as that was my question. I'm not sure what to research for you all to understand what I'm looking for as it is a disease process. There are no articles/journals that specifically describe this as they basically just describe the etiology. I'm definitely not demanding, I never said answer me now and my paper is not due until February so I don't think that's procrastinating. I'm pretty sure you have taken the NCLEX and the #1 rule is "don't read into the question". So why read into mine?

Google "pathophysiology of acute kidney injury" peruse several of the eleventy-five articles that pop up, take notes, come back here with what you learned and if you have any questions after that, we can have a nice, informative, adult discussion.

You see, that's how adult learning works. You're given a topic, sometimes a sketchy one. You do some basic research, and branch out from there.

If you show us some effort, we'll be happy to offer guidance and suggestions.

I'm a nephrology APN and what I was trying to explain is that the pathophysiology of AKI is DIFFERENT for different etiologies. Does that clarify what I was saying?

So, first you really do need to determine the etiology BEFORE you can come up with the pathophys.

A really hard hit by Michael Bennett to your blind side will cause Acute Kidney Injury. There is a lot of detailed physics I won't go into about an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object but that is too advanced for this discussion. He could actually fracture a kidney and put you out for the rest of the semester.

Oh, so based purely on your vague question, simple answer is, NO.
