ANSWER
Prerenal AKI, intrinsic AKI, and postrenal AKI are all possible types of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) for Mr J.R.
Mr J.R.’s clinical manifestations, such as nausea, vomiting, fever, weakness, dizziness, and a bothersome metallic taste in the mouth, can be linked to prerenal AKI, which occurs due to decreased blood flow to the kidneys, or intrinsic AKI, which occurs due to direct injury to the renal parenchyma.
Mr J.R.’s risk factors for AKI include dehydration from vomiting and diarrhoea, age, and a possible underlying renal disease.

Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) may develop coagulopathy due to decreased clotting factor production and anemia due to decreased erythropoietin production and impaired red blood cell production. These complications arise as a result of a decrease in overall kidney function.
Based on the clinical manifestations and microscopic examination of the vaginal discharge, Ms P.C.’s most likely diagnosis is Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonorrhoea) infection. This diagnosis is supported by gram-negative intracellular diplococci and many white blood cells in the discharge.
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is most likely the microorganism in Ms P.C.’s case.
Severe symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, high fever, an inability to tolerate oral fluids, and the need for intravenous antibiotics would qualify this patient for hospitalization.

Mr. J.R. is a 73-year-old man, who was admitted to the hospital with clinical manifestations of gastroenteritis and possible renal injury. The patient’s chief complaints are fever, nausea with vomiting and diarrhea for 48 hours, weakness, dizziness, and a bothersome metallic taste in the mouth. The patient is pale and sweaty. He had been well until two days ago when he began to experience severe nausea several hours after eating two burritos for supper. The burritos had been ordered from a local fast-food restaurant. The nausea persisted and he vomited twice with some relief. As the evening progressed, he continued to feel “very bad” and took some Pepto-Bismol to help settle his stomach. Soon thereafter, he began to feel achy and warm. His temperature at the time was 100. 5°F. He has continued to experience nausea, vomiting, and a fever. He has not been able to tolerate any solid foods or liquids. Since yesterday, he has had 5–6 watery bowel movements. He has not noticed any blood in the stools. His wife brought him to the ER because he was becoming weak and dizzy when he tried to stand up. His wife denies any recent travel, use of antibiotics, laxatives, or excessive caffeine, or that her husband has an eating disorder.
Case Study 1 Questions:

The attending physician is thinking that Mr. J.R. has developed an Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). Analyzing the case presented, name the possible types of Acute Kidney Injury.
Link the clinical manifestations described to the different types of Acute Kidney injury.
Create a list of risk factors the patient might have and explain why.
Unfortunately, the damage to J.R.’s kidney became irreversible and he is now diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Please describe the complications that the patient might have on his Hematologic system (Coagulopathy and Anemia) and the pathophysiologic mechanisms involved.
Reproductive Function:
Ms. P.C. is a 19-year-old white female who reports a 2-day history of lower abdominal pain, nausea, emesis, and a heavy, malodorous vaginal discharge. She states that she is single, heterosexual, and that she has been sexually active with only one partner for the past eight months. She has no previous history of genitourinary infections or sexually transmitted diseases. She denies IV drug use. Her LMP ended three days ago. Her last intercourse (vaginal) was eight days ago and she states that they did not use a condom. She admits to unprotected sex “every once in a while.” She noted an abnormal vaginal discharge yesterday and she describes it as “thick, greenish-yellow in color, and very smelly.” She denies both oral and rectal intercourse. She does not know if her partner has had a recent genitourinary tract infection, “because he has been away on business for five days.
