Chapter 20, Problem 32RQ
Hyperglycemia in a diabetic patient leads to osmotic diuresis and dehydration. Given the following information, answer the questions.
Plasma glucose = 400 mg/dL
Normal urine flow = 1 L per day
GFR = 130 mL/min
Normal urine osmolarity = 300 mOsM
Glucose Tm = 400 mg/ min
Molecular mass of glucose = 180 daltons
Renal plasma flow = 500 mL/min
- a. How many milligrams of glucose filter into the nephron each minute?
- b. How many milligrams of glucose are reabsorbed each minute?
- c. How many grams of glucose are excreted in the urine each day?
- d. Assuming that dehydration causes maximal vasopressin secretion and allows the urine to concentrate to 1200 mOsM, how much additional urine does this diabetic patient excrete in a| day?

120 mEq/L. She weighs 60 kg. Her serum osmolality is 250 mOsm/kg H2O with urine osmolality of 616 mOsm/kg
H2O. The diagnosis of SIADH is made. What would be her serum [Na], if she receives 1 L of isotonic saline?

B. 116 mEq/L
C. 118 mEq/L
D. 120 mEq/L
E. 124 mEq/L
Renin is secreted in response to hypovolemia or to an increase in the osmolality of the blood. Provide three possible mechanisms by which these conditions may stimulate rennin secretion. What are the consequences of increased rennin secretion that lead to increased aldosterone secretion? Present this sequence of events. Why are angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) used as a common therapy for hypertension? How do they influence blood pressure? Are plasma levels of renin elevated or depressed in a patient with Conn’s disease? Why?
An old woman was admitted with a diagnosis of hypertension, congestive heart failure, anemia, possible diabetes, and chronic renal failure. Her blood workup shows a BUN level of 58 mg/dL and a plasma creatinine of 6.2 mg/dL. What is the most probable cause of the patient’s elevated urea nitrogen? Explain your answer.
