Ninja Nerds!
In this lecture Professor Kristin Beach, MSN, BSN, RN will be discussing Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Chronic kidney disease, also known as chronic renal disease or CKD, is a condition characterized by a gradual loss of kidney function over time.
Chronic kidney disease includes conditions that damage your kidneys and decrease their ability to keep you healthy by filtering wastes from your blood. If kidney disease worsens, wastes can build to high levels in your blood and make you feel sick. You may develop complications like:
- Hypertension
- Anemia
- Osteoporosis
- Poor nutritional health
- Nerve damage
Kidney disease also increases your risk of having heart and blood vessel disease. These problems may happen slowly over a long time. Early detection and treatment can often keep chronic kidney disease from getting worse. When kidney disease progresses, it may eventually lead to kidney failure, which requires dialysis or a kidney transplant to maintain life.

shouldn't urine specific gravity be LOW as the kidneys fail to concentrate the urine related to low GFR?

[@tidbit8573]

The short answer to a long answer is that GFR is filtration not concentration. When there isn't enough fluid being balanced by the kidneys the urine that does come out will be low on water. This in turn raises everything else by ratio. Specific gravity measures the solutes and because there is low fluid and high solutes, the specific gravity is elevated.
