Objectives

The teaching contributes to the realization of the educational objective of
the Course of Study in Cardiocirculatory Physiopathology Techniques e
Cardiovascular Perfusion by providing students with knowledge about
signs and symptoms, diagnostic procedures and therapeutic indications
in the pathologies of the nephropathic patient, consistent with the profile
Professional of Perfusionist Technician.

Modalità di verifica
dell'apprendimento
La verifica dell'apprendimento, che avviene mediante esame orale (con
voto in trentesimi), è volta a valutare la capacità dello studente ad un
corretto inquadramento delle patologie renali (fisiopatologia, segni e
sintomi, procedure diagnostiche, indirizzi terapeutici nutrizionali),
coerentemente con il profilo professionale di dietista
Programma esteso ELEMENTI FISIOPATOLOGICI E DIAGNOSTICI DELLE NEFROPATIE
Valutazione dell’esame urine, della funzione renale, segni e sintomi delle
nefropatie, indagini strumentali in nefrologia, biopsia renale
INSUFFICIENZA RENALE CRONICA
Classificazione, eziologia, patogenesi, fisiopatologia, sintomatologia,
diagnostica strumentale, terapia medica
TERAPIA DIETETICA NELL’INSUFFICIENZA RENALE CRONICA
Regimi dietetici nei vari stadi dell’insufficienza renale
TERAPIA SOSTITUTIVA DELLA FUNZIONE RENALE
Principi fisici dell’emodialisi, accesso vascolare, cenni di dialisi
peritoneale, cenni di trapianto renale
TERAPIA DIETETICA NEL PAZIENTE DIALIZZATO
At the end of the Teaching the students will be able to:
a) In reference to the signs-symptoms of proteinuria, hematuria, oliguria,
polyuria,
peripheral edema:
illustrate the individual physiopathological mechanisms;
list the clinical significance and the main causes;
plan a correct diagnostic procedure.
b) To interpret the possible results in a physiopathological and diagnostic
key
urinalysis.
c) Specify indications and contraindications, complications, costs,
reliability of the main specialist diagnostic procedures:
- renal function test
- urine culture
- renal biopsy
- diagnostic imaging
- laboratory diagnostics.
d) With reference to systematic nosography:
- Know, based on epidemiological information, which are the most
frequent pathologies affecting the urinary tract.
- Differentiate and interpret the physiopathological elements of
semeiology clinic for a correct classification of diseases.
- Specify the pathogenetic role of the main risk factors.
- Knowing how to analyze the clinical and instrumental data to make a
correct diagnosis and setting up a therapeutic scheme

Contents

It is proposed to provide students with adequate knowledge, related to:
1) Diagnostic use of the interpreted nephro-urological signs and
symptoms in relation to their physiopathogenesis.
2) Pathophysiological, laboratory and instrumental diagnostic procedures
and their indications in nephrological diseases.
3) Systematic nosology of the main nephrological diseases.
4) Basic concepts concerning the criteria and indications of the renal
replacement therapy
5) Main techniques of substitution therapy of renal function in intensive
care units
