 | | Acute renal failure is in fact responsible for at least one-fifth of all perioperative deaths among elderly surgical patients. | | | A major pharmacokinetic consequence of age-related changes in renal function is prolongation of the elimination half-time of anesthetic drugs and any metabolites requiring renal clearance. | | | The aging process results in profound anatomic and functional changes in virtually all major organ systems, including the cardiovascular, respiratory and renal systems. |

| | Physical: The classic patient with renal colic is writhing in pain, pacing about, and unable to lie still, in contrast to a patient with peritoneal irritation, who remains motionless to minimize discomfort. | | | Ureteral obstruction stimulates synthesis of prostaglandin E2 in the renal medulla, which increases ureteral contractility and renal blood flow, leading to increased ureteral pressures and painful renal colic. | | | Potential adverse effects on renal function, GI mucosa, and platelet aggregation do not appear clinically important when used for short-term pain relief. |

| | If left untreated, the bones gradually become thin and weak, and a person with renal osteodystrophy may begin to feel bone and joint pain. | | | One such deformity occurs when the legs bend inward toward each other or outward away from each other; this deformity is referred to as "renal rickets." Another important consequence is short stature. | | | The doctor may perform a bone biopsy to see how dense your bones are. |
