This module covers material found in McCance & Huether, Chapters 35-37. You will find it helpful to have read the referenced text material prior to beginning the learning activities.

Module Objectives:

  1. Differentiate between the disease processes resulting from altered kidney function.
  2. Contrast the pathophysiology of diseases resulting from urinary tract obstruction.
  3. Evaluate case study data to determine the cellular pathophysiology of selected diseases.
