Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
There are several criteria for beginning renal replacement therapy, including those listed here. Acidosis with a pH of greater than 7.2 or HCO3 greater than 10 mEq/L are also criteria, but if the pH is rising (normalizing) quickly, that would not be an indication to begin therapy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
Hormones released by the kidneys include calcitriol, erythropoietin, and renin. Creatinine is a laboratory value that measures kidney function. Estradiol is a hormone but is not released by the kidneys.
