Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason for classifying the sodium–potassium pump as an antiporter.
Introduction:
The antiporter is a type of membrane protein that helps in carrying out the process of active transport. The antiporter helps in the movement of the two substances against the concentration gradient.

- Covid-19 patients may develop acute pulmonary edema (fluid retention in the lungs), and furosemide is often used to treat it. Another potential complication of covid-19 is acute kidney damage. Possible causes include hypoxia, blood clots and inflammation. To evaluate a patient for kidney damage, a medical team took blood samples and placed a catheter to collect urine for 24 hrs. Here are some results: Plasma creatinine: 50 mg/100 mL plasma Urine creatinine: 40.8 mg/mL urine Urine production: 1.5 L in 24 hr 1. What was the patient's creatinine clearance in mL/min? (Creatinine clearance = excretion rate of creatinine/plasma concentration creatinine).
