8. The most common causes of end- stage renal disease are:
9. In patients without diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is most commonly caused by:
10. Normal GFR is:
11. A client with GFR of 15 mL/min/1.73 m² has:
12. Significant comorbidities in patients with CKD include:
13. Patients with CKD who have excessive sodium intakes may experience:
14. Patients with renal disease usually have a chronic state of inflammation, as shown by elevated serum levels of:
15. The presence of protein in the urine is called:

17. The term hematuria refers to:
18. Factors that contribute to malnutrition in patients with chronic renal failure include:
19. Electrolyte imbalances that occur in chronic renal failure include:
20. In patients with CKD, sodium intake does not usually need to be restricted until GFR falls to:
21. The bone disease osteodystrophy often occurs in patients with:
22. Osteodystrophy develops because of the kidney’s inability to:
23. Patients with chronic renal insufficiency develop anemia because their kidneys synthesize
