example problem using indicator dilution technique, 5 grams is given and then the concentration is measured and it is 1.0 grams %, what is the volume - V= Q/[x] 500ml = 5/1% = 5/.01 find the osmolarity using the sodium concentration of 140 mEq/L, glucose concentration of 70 mg/dl and concentration of BUN of 12 mg/dl - osm = 2[Na+] + [glucose]/18 + [BUN]/2.8 osm = 2(140) + 70/18 + 4.3/2.8 osm = 288.2 mOsm/l inulin and tritiated water (THO) are infused intravenously into an individual. the ...

Causes of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) increase correct answer: - decreased Glomerular Filtration rate - increased urea production of liver - increased dietary protein and GI bleeding Causes of creatinine Increase correct answer: - less than 25% of original renal function - Muscle damage - decrease GFR Causes of Creatinine Decrease correct answer: - younger animals have a lower serum creatinine - Cachexia causes lower levels Causes of Serum phosphorus increase correct answer: - ...

GMS 6401 Mock Exam Questions and Answers Already Passed The kidney consists of specialized vascular and tubular structures (the nephron) which collaborate in the production of urine: The glomerular capillary is surrounded by an epithelial structure which forms the beginning of the tubule.

1. Secretion of K+ by the distal tubule will be decreased by (A) metabolic alkalosis (B) a high-K+ diet (C) hyperaldosteronism (D) spironolactone administration (E) thiazide diuretic administration The answer is D Distal K+secretion is decreased by factors that decrease the driving force for passive diffusion of K+ across the luminal membrane. Because spironolactone is an aldosterone antagonist, it reduces K+ secretion. Alkalosis, a diet high in K+, and hyperaldosteronism all incr...
