Question
Does this chart show the patient has Glomerulonephritis or Nephrotic Syndrome? Look at renal chart and determine the disorder. How does this renal result defer from a healthy individual?
For the past several months, a 24-year-old male has experienced fatigue, puffiness, and overall weakness. One day he noticed his urine had a red to brown discoloration, and that his urine volume was minimal. He went to the emergency room, where urinalysis, blood work, and other tests were done to obtain the following data: Urinalysis results Hematology results Appearance Red to brown Serum sodium 125 mEq/L Specific gravity 1.025 Serum potassium 6 mEq/L Blood Positive Serum creatinine 2.6 mg/dL Glucose Negative BUN 24.0 mg/dL Protein Mild pH (arterial) 7.32 Renal function tests Hematocrit 25% GFR (glom. filt. rate) 40 mL/min RBF (renal blood flow) 280 mL/min 1. What disorder is affecting this individual? What situation(s) predispose an individual to this disorder?
