INTRODUCTIONTaking care of person in sever disease is most important part of health care and nursingservices. This report is explaining the case of Melanie Johnson who is an 55 year old womensuffering from chronic renal Failure. This report is providing information of renal Anatomy andphysiology and major risk factors, possible complication and respective treatment options forcase of Melanie Johnson. Major differences between acute and chronic renal failure provided inreport. Renal replacement therapy is explained in case of lady. Medication required for givencase is also explained in report. Different ways are suggested to manage chronic renal failure ofMelanie Johnson.Part 11.1 Renal Anatomy and physiologyRenal system in body is also known as the urinary system consist organs like kidneys,bladder, ureters and urethra. There are 1 millions nephrons in the kidneys and each nephrons isconsists of glomerulus and tubule Meersch, Schmidt & Zarbock, (2016). Nephrons acts as bloodfree cells, large protein, producing and ultra filtrate composed of other smaller elements. Theultra filtrate enters the tubule that is specialised in various segments to produce final urine byremoving substances from reabsorption or adding substances in tubular fluid to maintain balancein terms of water, minerals, electrolytes and hydrogen ion concentration. It is also work ofnephrons to eliminate toxic substances produces by body. This hormonal function is known forinfluencing blood pressure, calcium metabolism and red blood cess production. The renalanatomy and physiology also can be explained as the process that separate toxic and uselesssubstances from blood and reabsorption of molecules, ions and water that is required for body.Major three function of Kidneys comes in Renal Anatomy are known as filtration, reabsorptionand secretion. In filtration process blood enters the afferent and flows into glomerulus whereblood component which are filterable such as water, nitrogen moves inside the glomerulus andother non filterable component such as cells, serum albumins exits from efferent arteriole.1.2 Pathophysiology of Chronic Renal failureChronic Renal failure is known as end stage of Renal disease. It is a progressive,irreversible deterioration in the renal function in which ability of body to maintain metabolic andelectrolytes faces major failure that resulting as retention of urea and other nitrogen wastes inblood. In case of Melanei Johnson, she is facing chronic Renal failure there are different risk in1
