OVERVIEW
This study presents the important considerations of diagnosis and treatment in view of the
ongoing study of the admitted patient. Patient Mrs. RR is a 59 year old, from Cordon Isabela.
She told us that she’s experiencing cough and generalize body weakness for days before she
decided to go to the hospital for admission and to seek medical help.
The attending physician advised the patient to go through a series of laboratory tests specifically
routine blood test, ecg,and urine testing. It was then find out that patient Mrs. RR is experiencing
anemia probably secondary to chronic kidney disease v secondary to hypertensive
nephrosclerosis and with moderate covid 19. The patient said that she was vaccinated with
Moderna for the first and second vaccine.
Anemia is a common complication in chronic kidney disease, and is associated with a reduced
quality of life, and an increased morbidity and mortality. The mechanisms involved in anemia
associated to CKD are diverse and complex. They include a decrease in endogenous
erythropoietin (EPO) production, absolute and/or functional iron deficiency, and inflammation
with increased hepcidin levels, among others.

A kidney contains over 1 million functioning units called nephrons. Each nephron is composed
of a glomerulus and tubule. The glomerulus acts to filter the blood free of cells and large
proteins, producing an ultrafiltrate composed of the other smaller circulating elements. The
ultrafiltrate enters the tubule, which is highly specialized at various segments, to produce the
final urine by removing substances from the tubular fluid (reabsorption) or adding substances to
the tubular fluid (secretion). Filtration, reabsorption, and secretion keep the organism in balance
in terms of water, minerals, electrolytes, and hydrogen ion concentration and eliminate the toxic
substances produced by the body. The major known hormonal functions of the kidney influence
blood pressure, calcium metabolism, and red blood cell production.
The main functions of kidneys are Excretion of wastes- kidneys excrete urea and uric acid into
the urine, which are products of metabolism. Reabsorption of vital nutrients, which includes:
glucose (at normal plasma level), amino acids, water, sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium,
calcium, bicarbonate and phosphate.
Kidneys work to remove waste products from the body, remove drugs from the body, balance the
body's fluids, release hormones that regulate blood pressure, produce an active form of vitamin D
that promotes strong, healthy bones, control the production of red blood cells.
The kidneys are located on either side of the spine, in the retroperitoneal space. The left kidney is situated a
little higher than the right one, because of the liver on the right side of the abdominal cavity, above the right
kidney.
