Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The proper composition and balance of fluid, electrolyte, and acid–base are required to regulate the cellular functions of the body. The urinary, digestive, endocrine, lymphatic, nervous, cardiovascular systems etc. maintain these balances.

Fluid balance: Equal maintenance of fluid uptake and loss; and proper distribution of fluid in the body.

Electrolyte balance: Equal maintenance of absorbed electrolytes by the small intestine and loss of electrolytes through urine in the body.

Acid-base balance: Maintenance of the stable body pH.

Renal tubules cannot reabsorb HCO3–; yet HCO3–concentration in the tubular fluid falls while in the blood plasma itrises. Explain this apparent contradiction.
Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a condition where the action of antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) is inhibited.  If normal urine concentration is 300 mOsm/L, what would you expect the urine concentration to be of a patient with DI?
The presence of either protein or glucose in a urinalysis is abnormal, but these two molecules end up in the urine for different reasons. For each of these molecules, briefly describe where in the urine production process (i.e., glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption or tubular secretion) the problem occurs, and why it might happen.
