Mr. Jones’ serum creatinine is 1.4 mg/dL at 1 month after discharge. At what point would you consider restarting the ACE inhibitor? Justify the use of ACE inhibitors in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Robertson is a 35‑year‑old male with a family history of kidney stones. Because Robertson reports that he has been experiencing pain in his back and intense pain spasms in his groin, the physician wants to test him for stones. The physician informs Robertson that he needs to collect his urine over a 24‑hour period. This instruction puzzles and annoys Robertson, and he wants to know why it is necessary. How do you explain the 24‑hour urine specimen to Robertson?

- A urinalysis is a test that examines physical, chemical and microscopic aspects of urine. Examining urinary fluid can reveal much about the functioning of the body, as changes from the normal characteristics or appearance may reflect specific diseases. Currently, commercially-available chemical reagent sticks can be used to detect substances in urine. Of the following, which are substances that reagent sticks can test for? a. Substances produced by the body, and naturally found in urine. b. Substances produced by the body, but not usually present in urine. c. Substances not normally found in the body. d. a. and c. only e. a., b., and c.arrow_forwardMr. Miles, a 65-year-old man, is visiting his health care provider for an annual checkup. He tells you that he has been experiencing difficulty with urination, including increased frequency, urinating more at night, difficulty starting his urine stream, and dribbling after urination. He states that after urination, he feels like his bladder is not emptied. 1. What diagnosis is suggested by Mr. Miles's symptoms? 2. What classes of drugs do you expect will be prescribed for Mr. Miles, and how will these drugs work? 3. What important teaching points will you include regarding the diagnosis and its treatment?arrow_forwardA 3-month-old boy is brought to the emergency department because of a 20day history of lethargy. Physical examination shows no other abnormalities. The results of laboratory studies are shown: serum: Na+ 165 mEa/L (N=139-146) Cl- 130 mEq/L (N=95-105) Osmolality 334 mOsmol/kg H2O (N=282-295) urine: specific gravity 1.001 osmolality 117 mOsmol/kg H2O (N>200) He is admitted to the hospital. His urine output is increased. His serum ADH (vasopressin) concentraion is 24 pg/mL (N=1-5); aldosterone and renin concentrations are within the reference ranges. The urine osmolality remains unchanges after administration of 1-deamino-B-arginine vasopressin. An MRI of the brain and pituitary gland shows no abnormalities. Ultrasonography shows normal kidneys. The most likely underlying cause of the findings in this patient is a defect in which of the following?a. angiotensin-converting enzyme b. aquaporin c. 11a-Hydroxylase d. renin e. vasopressin receptorsarrow_forward
- A two-month old child was admitted to hospital after failure to thrive. The “boy”, whose external genitalia were ambiguous, was found to have elevated blood pressure, but no dehydration.

- Fred was diagnosed 6 months ago with liver cancer. His liver is no longer able to make the necessary amount of proteins needed by the body. What effect, if any, would this have on the net glomerular filtration rate? (Hint, decide which of the 3 forces contributing to the net filtration rate is affected. Then adjust numbers in the equation to determine if there is an increase, decrease, or no change to the net filtration rate). Group of answer choices A) Blood colloid osmotic pressure would be decreased, increasing the net glomerular filtration rate. B) Blood colloid osmotic pressure would be decreased, decreasing the net glomerular filtration rate. C) Capsular hydrostatic pressure would be decreased, increasing the net glomerular filtration rate. D) Capsular hydrostatic pressure would be decreased, decreasing the net glomerular filtration rate. E) There would be no effect on the net glomerular filtration rate.arrow_forwardHematology Data: 24 hour urine volume: 1,000 mL; Serum Creatinine: 2.0 mg/dL; Urine Creatinine: 200 mg/dL What's the calculation for the Creatinine clearance?
