If a patient collects a 24 hour urine specimen with a volume of 1500 mL, and the patient's serum Creatinine is 5 mg/dl, and the urine creatinine is 100 mg/dl, then what is the creatinine clearance in ml/min?
Which do you think would have the most serious effect,and why—a 5 mEq/L increase in the plasma concentrationof sodium, potassium, chloride, or calcium?
How do you calculate the Total Na and Total K on this order?
